Document Summary
Geog 1700 - lecture 3 - part 1. The negative correlation between fertility and income across countries is fairly strong. De(cid:373)og(cid:396)aphi(cid:272) t(cid:396)u(cid:272)tu(cid:396)e is g(cid:396)aphed i(cid:374) a populatio(cid:374) py(cid:396)a(cid:373)id aka age-sex diagram.

Cultural/institutional factors also have some impact on the demographic transition and population growth. For example; muslim-majority countries tend to have high birth rates, regardless of income, but they are now generally decreasing. But different places are in different stages of demographic transition, so; Different places have different concerns and government policies with respect to population change. The futu(cid:396)e dist(cid:396)i(cid:271)utio(cid:374) of the (cid:449)o(cid:396)ld"s populatio(cid:374) (cid:449)ill (cid:271)e (cid:395)uite different than it is now. Population growth is related to country income. In addition to natural factors, migration also contributes to population change. Labor needs play a role, as does population density, culture, and tradition.
