All Flashcards

How does improved healthcare affect population growth?
It reduces death rates, leading to population growth, especially in Stage 2.
How does increased access to education affect birth rates?
It leads to lower birth rates as people delay having children and focus on careers.
How does urbanization affect birth rates?
Urbanization often leads to lower birth rates due to smaller living spaces and changing lifestyles.
What is the effect of high infant mortality on birth rates?
High infant mortality often leads to higher birth rates as families try to ensure some children survive.
How does an aging population affect a country's economy?
It can strain social security systems and lead to a smaller workforce, impacting economic growth.
What is the impact of increased resource consumption on the environment?
Increased resource consumption leads to habitat loss, pollution, and depletion of natural resources.
How does access to family planning affect population growth?
It allows individuals to control family size, typically leading to lower birth rates and slower population growth.
What is the effect of modernization on death rates?
Modernization leads to access to food and improved healthcare lowers death rate.
What happens when the birth rate falls below the death rate?
The population will decrease.
What factors cause high birth rates in Stage 1?
Lack of family planning, high infant mortality rates, need for labor on farms.
What factors cause high death rates in Stage 1?
Disease, poor sanitation, limited access to healthcare.
Why do death rates decline in Stage 2?
Improved healthcare, sanitation, and food availability.
Why do birth rates remain high in Stage 2?
Cultural norms and lack of access to contraception.
What factors lead to declining birth rates in Stage 3?
Increased access to education, family planning, and urbanization.
What characterizes population growth in Stage 4?
Low or even negative growth due to low birth and death rates.
What are the main drivers of Stage 5?
Aging populations and slight increases in birth rates.
How does the DTM relate to resource use?
Different stages have different resource demands and consumption patterns.
How does the DTM relate to urbanization?
Urbanization often leads to lower birth rates (Stage 3) and changes in resource consumption.
What are the limitations of the DTM?
It's a model; real-world scenarios can be more complex and influenced by other factors.
How does industrialization impact death rates?
Industrialization leads to improved medicine and modernization, dropping death rates.
How does industrialization impact birth rates?
Industrialization is associated with a decrease in birth rates in Stage 3.
What is Crude Birth Rate (CBR)?
The number of births per 1,000 individuals in a population per year.
What is Crude Death Rate (CDR)?
The number of deaths per 1,000 individuals in a population per year.
Define Demographic Transition Model (DTM).
A model that describes population change over time as a country develops.
