Document Summary
Current population: annual increase, china and india. Some questions: where did 7+ b people live? (what is where?, what factors underline this distribution (why there?, what are the implications and consequences of this distribution? (why care?) Demography: the study of population: demos people, graphe to write, study about. Population geography: the study of the spatial components of demography i. e. population geography. Of concern to population geographers: growth (or decline) of population over time. Spatial differential growth/decline of population: e. g. 10% of births take place in economic development, while the rest occur in economically deprived countries. The causes, and consequences, of population change: e. g. china"s 1 child policy, e. g. canada"s aging population. Spatial distribution of population & the consequences with respect to global resources: e. g. growing population = growing need for resources, history of population growth - i. How have global population levels changed over the past 12,000 years (the holocene period): 12,000 yrs.
