  1. Population Geography SSWG4. Assess the characteristics, spatial distribution, and migration of human populations on the earth’s surface.

  2. Bell Ringer Without using your phones, list what you think are the top 10 most populated countries in the world.

  3. Demographic Patterns Demography- the study of statistics such as births, deaths, income, or the incidence of disease, which illustrate the changing structure of human populations.

  4. Demographic Patterns • Natural increase rate: percentage growth in population without immigration • NIR varies from higher than 2.0% to slightly negative • Life expectancy: average number of years at death

  5. Demographic Patterns Natural increase is composed of births and deaths. Does not include migration Crude Birth Rate (CBR): Crude Death Rate (CDR):

  6. Demographic Patterns Demographic transition model - refers to the transition from high birth and death rates to lower birth and death rates as a country or region develops from a pre-industrial to an industrialized economic system.

  7. Demographic Patterns

  8. Demographic Patterns

  9. Demographic Patterns

  10. Demographic Patterns Population Density – the amount of people living in a certain area.

  11. Demographic Patterns

  12. Bell Ringer What is the NIR? What is the Demographic Transition Model and why is it significant to how a countries develop? What is population density?

  13. Demographic Patterns Migration patterns – how people move from one place to another on the globe. (Ex. Immigrants, Emigrants, Refugees, Seasonal Workers, etc.)

  14. Demographic Patterns • Major international flows in 2016 were out of: • South Asia and into Southwest Asia • Latin America and into North America

  15. Demographic Patterns

  16. Government Population Policies Governments around the world have attempted to impact population growth trends with public policy. (Ex. China’s one child policy)

  17. Government Population Policies • Pro Natalist– laws that encourage having children • Anti Natalist – laws that discourage having children • Examples of pro natalist Examples of anti natalist • Child care services China’s one child • Child tax credit India’s sterlization • Paid maternity leave • Free vacations • Actual cash

  18. Bell Ringer What are the two largest migration flows in the world currently? List and describe an anti natalist policy. List and describe 2 pro natalist policies.

  19. Why do people migrate? Push Factor – reasons people leave their homes and migrate (ex. civil war) Pull Factor – reasons people leave their homes and migrate to a new location (ex. job opportunity)

  20. Why do people migrate? Guest Worker – person with allowance to work in a country different than home temporarily

  21. Why do people migrate? Refugee – person who is forced to leave home because of dire threats to well-being. Most will never return home. Evacuee – person who temporarily leaves home due to an imminent threat

  22. Impact of migration Resources and services become strained and the citizen population can begin to suffer due to the influx of refugees. In Europe, the refugee crisis from the Middle East has split citizens into pro and anti-refugee and has turned into a major political issue for all EU member countries.

  23. Governments response to Migration A quota system in the United States was included in the Immigration Act of 1924. This put limits on who could enter the country. Northern and Western Europeans were preferred and given preferential treatment over those from others

  24. Bell Ringer What is the difference between a push factor and a pull factor? Give examples What is the difference between a refugee and an evacuee? Give examples. What effect does immigration have on a countries population?

  25. Governments response to Migration The U.S. is the world’s leading migrant destination Our government only wants individuals who are skilled, have family connections, or are refugees

  26. Governments response to Migration There are over 11 million undocumented immigrants inside the United States as of the beginning of 2016. There are different views on how to deal with this issue. Some say deport them, some say give them a path to citizenship

  27. Governments response to Migration Many of the immigrants have children who are U.S. citizens. One argument is that it’s not right to separate children from their parents, even if the parents are undocumented.

  28. Governments response to Migration The basic steps to a proper immigration policy include securing the border, vetting and documenting all undocumented people in the country, deporting criminals, and giving the other people a path to citizenship.

  29. Governments response to Migration Europe has also been a destination for migrants and is facing more severe problems than the U.S.

  30. Bell Ringer What qualities does the U.S. government look for in immigrants? How many undocumented immigrants live in the U.S? What steps should the U.S. take to handle this problem?
