World population

In 2017, the Earth had a population of 7 536 billion people. Population distribution is analysed according to ... , which links the total number of inhabitants in a territory, or absolute population, to the area it occupies in square kilometres. birth rate. population density. age of expectancy. death rate.

Check the areas of dense population in the world. South and Southeast Asia. Rocky Mountains. The Atlantic coast of Mexico. United States. The major equatorial forests. The Atlantic coast of Brazil.

Check the areas of sparse population in the world. South and Southeast Asia. Rocky Mountains. The Arabian desert. United States. The major equatorial forests. Australian Deserts.

According to population density, distribution of the Earth’s population is evenly distributed. True. False.

The most influential physical factors are historic, political and economic. Political decisions, such as wars and border changes force populations to move and create demographic voids and concentrations. True. False.

The population of a country, or area increases and decreases over the course of time, are a result of the combined effect of two types of change: Natural change and ... change. Migratory. Unnatural. Human. Biological.

A rise or fall in population caused by natural events. In other words, it is the difference between the birth rate, which adds inhabitants, and the mortality rate, which subtracts them is known as... Natural change. Life expectancy. Inmigration change. Fertility change.

The arrival of a population from other places, or emigration and the departure of a population towards other places, or immigration, subtracts them. True. False.

Natural and migration changes to the population are studied by calculating rates, which are usually expressed as a figure per one thousand people (‰). True. False.

Natality, commonly referred to as birth rate, is the number of births that occur in a population over the course of ... a month. a year. ten years. 24 months.

In order to measure natural increase, two rates are used: the birth rate and the ... rate. woman. infant. children. fertility.

In 2017, the world’s birth rate was 20 ‰ and the fertility rate was 2.5 children per woman. Both are moderate values. True. False.

The mortality rate is the number of deaths that occur in a population over the course of a year. It is measured by using three rates: the death rate, the infant mortality rate and the ... rate. catastrophic. life expectancy. woman death at giving birth. babies.

In 2017, the world’s average death rate was 8 ‰, which is a low figure. In this case, the differences between countries are less pronounced. In general, the mortality rate tends to fall in more developed countries, and tends to rise in less developed ones. True. False.

Which rate is the difference between the birth rate and the mortality rate? It may help knowing that the increase is positive when births outnumber deaths, and negative in the reverse scenario. Net migration. Rate of natural increase (RNI). Total population growth. Net immigration.

The situation of the world today and the demographic evolution of humanity can be explained by demographic transition theory. According to this theory, demographic evolution moves through three demographic regimes, which are distinguished by their birth, death and natural increase rates. True. False.

Which population concept tells us about its internal characteristics: gender, age, civil status, level of education, forms of employment, etc. Ageing population. Life expectancy. Net migration. Structure of population.

Age composition is the percentage of the young (aged 0-14), adult (aged 16-64) and elderly (aged 65 and over) populations in a society. True. False.

Ageing populations are typical of poor countries in Europe and the United States, Canada and Japan, which have completed demographic transition. True. False.

Ageing population leads to low demographic growth, which results in a lack of workforce and high expenditure on pensions, health care and social services for the elderly. True. False.

The gender and age composition for a place during a certain year is often represented as a graph in the form of an age ... square. rectangle. pyramid. circle.

Age pyramid reflects whether a population is young, mature or ageing, and its recent demographic history, such as migration, wars and whether or not it uses birth control, etc. True. False.

The final profile of the pyramid may be triangular, bell-shaped and urn-shaped. Each one of them show different kinds of population. Look a the picture a decide which one is. Young. Adult. Elderly.

Internal migration is the movement of a population within a state. The most important example is the ... exodus, or emigration from the countryside to the city. industrial. rural. economic. city.

International migration policies regulate entry and the type of immigrants welcomed. They establish immigrants’ rights and employment conditions.
