GEOG 121 Lecture Notes - Lecture 4: Demographic Transition, Population Geography, Distilled Beverage
Document Summary
Population geography: population geography is the study of human population with respect to size, composition, spatial distribution, and changes in the population that occur over time. Population geographers seek to understand the society around them, the structure of the population, and how it changes through births, deaths, and migration. They tend to emphasize places and their influence on fertility and mortality. Demography: the statistical analysis of population focusing on fertility and mortality statistical analysis of population. Global population density: around water, the nile, asian countries. The most densely populated areas are occurring in areas that can least handle the density of the population (population pressure) Demographic transition model: completely based off europe as it moves prom pre-industrial to post-industrial. Stage 1: low population, low population growth, high death rate (25 years to double in size), high infant mortality, low life expectancy.
