Understanding Population Change Within Countries

This page delves deeper into the factors influencing population dynamics IGCSE geography, focusing on birth rates, death rates, and migration. It explains the Demographic Transition Model DTMDTM and population pyramids, illustrating how they represent different stages of population change.

Key points include:

  • Factors affecting birth rates and death rates in different countries
  • Stages of the Demographic Transition Model
  • Interpretation of population pyramids
  • Ageing populations in developed countries like the UK

Definition: The Dependency Ratio is the ratio of the dependent population ages015and65+ages 0-15 and 65+ to the working-age population 166416-64, multiplied by 100. A higher ratio indicates a higher level of dependency.

Vocabulary: Birth Rate BRBR - The number of babies born per 1000 people per year. Death Rate DRDR - The number of deaths per 1000 people per year.

Example: Southport in the UK has an ageing population, with 26% of its population over 65, compared to 18% in England and Wales overall.

Population Policies and Ageing Populations

This page focuses on population policies linked to ageing populations and their impact on economic development, particularly in EU countries. It explores the reasons behind ageing populations and the challenges they present.

Key points include:

  • Factors contributing to ageing populations in developed countries
  • Economic impacts of ageing populations
  • Areas where public money is spent on the elderly

Highlight: By 2050, it's projected that 1 in 4 people in the UK will be over 65, compared to 1 in 6 currently.

Example: The average cost of raising a child from birth to 18 years in the UK is estimated at £165,000, which contributes to lower birth rates.

Quote: "At present the average number of children per couple in Italy, Spain & the UK is 1.3 - replacement level is 2.1"

The page also discusses how ageing populations affect economic development, including increased public spending on healthcare, allowances, and benefits for the elderly, which can reduce funds available for other areas such as education and infrastructure.

Population Change: Concepts and Case Studies

This page introduces key concepts in population change for GCSE Geography, focusing on reasons for contrasting rates of natural population change and population dynamics IGCSE geography. It outlines the main topics covered in the document, including:

  • World population growth factors
  • Demographic transition model and population pyramids
  • Impact of urbanization, agricultural change, education, and women's emancipation
  • Population policies for ageing populations in EU countries
  • Migration patterns and effects
  • Case studies on migration and population policies

The page also highlights factors affecting population growth in Less Economically Developed Countries LEDCsLEDCs, such as:

  • Women's emancipation and education
  • Urbanization and shift from agricultural to industrial work
  • Improved education and access to contraception

Highlight: Most global population growth occurs in LEDCs, influenced by rural living, agricultural practices, education levels, and women's status.

Example: As women gain better education and career opportunities, they tend to have fewer children and use contraception more effectively.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Samantha Klich

Android user

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

Just amazing. Let's me revise 10x better, this app is a quick 10/10. I highly recommend it to anyone. I can watch and search for notes. I can save them in the subject folder. I can revise it any time when I come back. If you haven't tried this app, you're really missing out.

Basil

This app has made me feel so much more confident in my exam prep, not only through boosting my own self confidence through the features that allow you to connect with others and feel less alone, but also through the way the app itself is centred around making you feel better. It is easy to navigate, fun to use, and helpful to anyone struggling in absolutely any way.

David K

iOS user

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7. I didn’t even know about this app three days until the exam and it has helped A LOT. Please actually trust me and use it as I’m sure you too will see developments.
