True |
The world is more populated than ever before – but growth is slowing down. (T/F) |
|
|
False (not) |
Human population is currently growing exponentially. (T/F) |
|
|
True |
The number of children in the world will soon stop increasing and this will lead to new economic opportunities. (T/F) |
|
|
The age of peak child |
The world is approaching what the late Hans Rosling called? |
|
|
Age of Peak Child |
It is the moment in global demographic history at which the number of children in the world stops increasing. |
|
|
Demographic Dividends |
This phenomenon will likely have new economic opportunities, because the proportion of people in working age will rise as the proportion of the dependent young generation falls. |
|
|
Demographic transition |
The link between population growth and development can be understood through a simple model, called the? |
|
|
1. Population is stable. 2. Popula5ion grows rapidly. 3. Population growth slows down. 4. Population growth stops. 5. Population potentially starts growing again. |
What are the stages of Demographic Transition? |
|
|
Stage 1: Population is stable. |
At this stage there is high fertility and high mortality; so deaths and births cancel out. |
|
|
Stage 2: Population grows rapidly. |
At this stage, there is high fertility but low mortality. |
|
|
Stage 3: Population growth slows down. |
At this stage, Social norms adapt to the fact that children survive. Fertility declines with increasing education and labor opportunities of women. |
|
|
Stage 4: Population growth stops |
At this stage, low fertility catches up with low mortality. |
|
|
Stage 5: Population potentially starts growing again. |
At this stage, evidence here is limited, but the idea is that further socialand economic opportunities may raisefertility again. |
|
|
True |
This is one of the most important lessons from demography: the population boom is a temporary event. (T/F) |
