    Where Are All The People

    The population of the world has been changing over time due to factors like birth rates, death rates, and migration. In the past, world population grew slowly until 1800 when it reached 1 billion people. Since then, improvements in food, medicine and living standards have caused population to increase more rapidly, doubling to 2 billion by 1927 and 6 billion by 1999. Sustainable development practices can help promote equity in how these population changes impact human societies.

    Where are all the People?

    The population of human societies changes due to a variety of


    processes, and sustainable development can help to promote more
    equity in these societies.
    • Key Concept: Change
    • Related Concept : Equity
    • Global Context: Globalization and Sustainability
    Criterions
    • Key Words (birth rate, death rate, demographics, migration, over
    population, population)
    What is the ‘Pattern’ of global population
    change
    Population Change
    • The population change refers to change in the number of people
    during a specific time
    • Population increased due to the change in number of births and
    deaths.
    • For a longer period of human history, until 1800 the world population
    has grew steadily but slowly.
    • Large number of babies born, but they
    died early too.
    • There were no proper health facilities
    • Sufficient food was not available for all
    the people
    • Farmer were not able to produce
    enough to meet the food requirements
    of all the people
    • In 1804 world population reached 1 billion
    • A hundred and fifty five years later, in 1959,
    the world’s population reached 3 billion
    • In 1999, 40 years later, the population doubled
    to 6 billion
    The main reason for this growth was that with
    better food supplies and medicine, deaths were
    reducing, while the number of births still
    remained fairly high.
    Industrial Revolution of 19th century
    • Led to an increased
    interconnectedness due to the
    effects of colonialism and trade
    • People started to live longer due to
    the development in health
    • The use of antiseptics and
    anaesthetics in hospitals improved
    survival rates, vaccinations for
    deadly diseases, such as smallpox.
    20th century and beyond
    • Massive changes in world population
    • Increased form 2 billion to 6 billion
    • Changes in health care, changes in average family sizes world wide.
    • Baby boom
    What processes contribute to population
    change?
    • Birth rate
    • Death rate
    • Migration
    Birth Rate
    • Both high and low birth rate can put
    pressure on societies
    • High birth rate lead to large number of
    young people-need education-
    employment opportunities
    • Low birth rate lead to Ageing Population
    Migration
    How can we model population change?
    • Methods used to make predictions for future population growth and
    change are called Models.
    • Demographic Transition Model (DTM)
    • The idea behind DTM is that societies move through the different
    stages of population structure depending on their level of
    development. The stages are as follows:
    Stage1 – High stationary (Bothe birth rate and death rates are high)
    Stage 2 – Early Expanding (High birth rate but decline in death rates)
    Stage3 – Late expanding (Decline in death rate and birth rate)
    Stage4 – Low stationary (Stabilizing population)
    Stage5 – Declining (Birth rates below death rates)

    • They show percentages (male, female, age group)
