Document Summary
Another way to explore population is by density a numerical measure of the relationship between the number of people and some unit of interest expressed as a ratio. Crude and arithmetic density ( the number of people divided by total land area) is the most common method. Crude measure one dimensional do not tell us about opportunities and obstacles. Nutritional density: ration between total population and amount of land cultivation. Agricultural density ratio between number of agriculturalist (people earning their living/ subsidence from working the land) per until volume of farmable land in a specific area. Problems for countries with high population of elderly (46-64) Cast a lot more to care for and may not have to bring workers to fill jobs. Can lead to population segregation (spatial inequality) Very prevalent in the us during 1950s and 1960s. Think of segregation laws and the social/ civil rights movements that resulted - i. e. martin luther king.
