Why can they? • Why are people concerned about a whole generation of only children? • What services does the large manufacturing company provide? • How is the policy different in the countryside? • What are some of the health benefits of the policy? • How has the imbalance between the sexes (more boys than girls) been caused? • In the areas filmed, how many boys were there for every 100 girls? • What are ‘red packets’ and why are they seen by many Chinese as necessary? • What things happened to the elderly couple’s second child, the baby girl? • What are ‘bare branches’? • What is the programme offering cash and other incentives to families who have daughters called? • How does it work? • What reasons did the girl give for her mother wanting a boy? • When will China’s population peak (reach its highest before it starts to fall)?

  12. Time’s history of the One Child Policy • http://content.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1912861,00.html,1912861,00.html

  15. From the graph, has the policy been successful – was the fertility rate declining before the policy and did it continue to decline after the introduction of the policy?

  16. Population structure • Population pyramid for China animated

  17. Narrow / wide top which suggestsStraight or near vertical sides/ concave slope which indicates Bulge in the … age group which may be from…Narrowing / widening base which indicates

  18. Countries at each stage? Graph that matches this? Paste it in.

  19. IB question: Describe and explain the main features of the projected population structure in China for 2050. (6)

  20. Exam question

  21. Gender imbalance • Watch the clip • Read the article: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8451289.stm

  28. Stage 4 – why is the population increasing? Stage 4 BR? DR?

  29. Population momentum The tendency for population to grow despite a fall in the BR or fertility rate. It occurs because of a relatively high concentration of people in the pre-childbearing and childbearing age groups. As these people grow older they will have children and the BR will exceed the DR until these people are elderly. Explain how population momentum also leads to the population decreasing despite a rise in the BR. Can you find any graphs to show where population momentum is going to be significant?
