Document Summary
Human population, environment, and development: population growth and environmental pressures: Paul erlich: the environment results in increased total human impact potential for impact) Historical growth stages of human population: hunter/gatherer, pre-industrial agriculture, modern era (unprecedented population growth, we haven"t been industrialized for that long, only 100+ years. Basic population dynamic calculations: crude growth rate (n) or natural increase = crude birth rate crude death rate e. g. can 2010 = 11. 3 - 7. 3 = 4. 0. Can 2008 = 11. 1 - 7. 2 = 3. 9 (annual or other time period) growth rate = ( n / n ) x 100 e. g. , 2008-2010. Infant mortality rate = deaths of infants < 1 yr of age / 1000 live births. Crude because it ignores the age and sex composition of the population the growth rate is low. It leaves a lot of factors out like age and sex.
