Explain the Demographic Transition Model.

Model that shows the transition from high birth and death rates to low birth and death rates as a country develops from a pre-industrial to an industrialized economic system.

What are push and pull factors?

Push factors induce people to leave a location, while pull factors attract people to a new location.

How does education influence fertility rates?

More educated women tend to have fewer children due to career aspirations and increased access to family planning.

How does access to family planning influence TFR?

Access to contraceptives and reproductive health services decreases TFR.

How do socio-cultural norms affect fertility rates?

In some cultures, large families are seen as a sign of economic security or social status, leading to higher fertility rates.

How do economic factors influence fertility rates?

In agricultural societies, children may be seen as extra labor, leading to higher fertility rates.

How does healthcare affect Infant Mortality Rate (IMR)?

Better healthcare, hospitals, and access to birth control lead to lower IMR.

How does sanitation affect Infant Mortality Rate (IMR)?

Poor sanitation leads to higher IMR.

Explain how job opportunities cause migration.

Job opportunities are the primary reason for most migrations, whether international, intra-national, interregional, or intraregional.

How does religious acceptance influence migration?

People migrate to places that are more accepting of their identity or religion.

How does political instability cause migration?

People are forced to move due to political instability, war, or oppression.

What is the effect of lower IMR on TFR?

Lower IMR often leads to lower TFR because parents are more confident that their children will survive to adulthood.

What are the effects of high net-in migration?

Can lead to economic growth, cultural diversity, but also strain on resources and social tensions.

What are the effects of high net-out migration?

Can lead to brain drain, labor shortages, but also remittances and reduced strain on resources.

What are the consequences of forced migration?

Displacement, trauma, loss of cultural identity, and challenges in integration for migrants; strain on resources and potential social tensions for host countries.

What are the causes and effects of ethnic enclaves?

Cause: Chain migration. Effects: Cultural preservation, social support, but also potential segregation and limited economic opportunities.

What is the cause and effect of high birth rates?

Cause: Lack of education, limited access to family planning. Effect: Rapid population growth, strain on resources, potential for poverty.

What is the cause and effect of low birth rates?

Cause: High levels of education, access to family planning. Effect: Slower population growth, aging population, potential labor shortages.

What is the cause and effect of high death rates?

Cause: Lack of healthcare, poor sanitation. Effect: Reduced life expectancy, potential for social and economic instability.

What is the cause and effect of low death rates?

Cause: Access to healthcare, good sanitation. Effect: Increased life expectancy, aging population, potential strain on social security systems.

What are the causes and effects of voluntary migration?

Causes: Seeking better economic opportunities, political freedom, or personal fulfillment. Effects: Economic growth in receiving countries, brain drain in sending countries, cultural exchange.

What are the causes and effects of forced migration?

Causes: War, persecution, natural disasters. Effects: Displacement, trauma, loss of cultural identity, strain on resources in host countries.

What is Total Fertility Rate (TFR)?

Average number of children a woman is expected to have in her lifetime.

What is Infant Mortality Rate (IMR)?

Number of deaths of infants under one year old per 1,000 live births.

What is Natural Increase Rate (NIR)?

Crude Birth Rate (CBR) - Crude Death Rate (CDR). The percentage at which a population is growing.

What is Doubling Time?

The number of years it takes for a population to double, assuming the NIR stays constant.

What is Net Migration?

The difference between the number of immigrants and emigrants.

What is Net-In Migration?

More people are moving into a country than leaving.

What is Net-Out Migration?

More people are leaving a country than moving in.

What is Chain Migration?

People move to places where family or community members have already settled.

What are Ethnic Enclaves?

Neighborhoods with a high concentration of a particular ethnic group.

Define Crude Birth Rate (CBR).

The total number of live births in a year for every 1,000 people alive in the society.

Define Crude Death Rate (CDR).

The total number of deaths in a year for every 1,000 people alive in the society.
