7 Created in 1985 To develop skills among people

8 Distribution of population The pattern of population distribution More than 90 % of the world s population lives in about 10 % of the land surface

10 Some areas are very crowded while some are sparely The crowded areas are south and South East Asia, Europe and North Eastern North America

11 Very few people live at high altitude areas, tropical deserts, high mountains and equatorial forests Many people live north of the Equator than south of the equator Almost three quarters of the world s people live in two continents Asia and Africa

12 60 % of the people live in 10 countries All of them have more than 100 million people

14 Density of Population

15 Density of Population Number of people living in a unit area of the earth s surface Normally expressed as per square km Average density in the whole world is 45 person per square km South Central Asia has the highest followed by East and South East Asia

16 Factors affecting distribution of population Geographical Factors Social, Cultural and Economical

17 Geographical factors Topography People always prefer to live on plains rather than mountains and plateaus The Ganga plain is densely populated

18 Climate People generally avoid extreme climate Sahara desert, polar regions of Russia, Canada and Antarctica

19 Soil Fertile soil provide suitable land for agriculture Fertile plains like Ganga and Brahmaputra in India Hwang Hem Chang Jiang in China an Nike in Egypt are densely populated

20 Water People prefer to live near fresh water The river valleys of the world are densely populated

21 Minerals Areas with mineral deposits are more populated Diamond mines of South Africa and Middle east lead setting of people in these areas

22 Social, Cultural and Economic Factors Social factos Areas of better housing, education and health facilities

23 Cultural Places with religion or cultural significance attack people Varanasi, Jerusalem and Vatican city

24 Economic Industrial areas provide employment opportunities Osaka in Japan and Mumbai in India

25 Population Change It refers in the number pf people during a specific time World population has not been stable Change in the number of births and deaths Ober 1800s world s population grew steadily but slowly

27 Large number of babies were born but they dies soon No proper health facilities Sufficient food was not available for all the people

28 in 1820s, the world s population reached one billion 150 years later, in the early 1970s the world s population reached 3 billion In 1999, less than 30 years later, it doubled to 6 billion

30 Birth rate The number of live birth per 1000 people

31 Birth Rate Death Rate 19 births/1,000 population 8 deaths/1,000 population million births per year 55.3 million people die each year 360,000 births per day 151,600 people die each day 15,000 births each hour 6,316 people die each hour

32 Death rate The number of deaths per 1000 people

33 Migrations It is the movement of people in and out of an area

34 Migration changes the size of population Within the country or between the countries Emigrants- are the people who leave a country Immigrants - are those who arrive in a country

35 USA and Australia have gained in numbers by in-migration or immigrates Sudan - has experienced a loss of population numbers due to out - migration or emigration

37 Natural growth rate The difference between the birth rate and the death rate of a country

39 Patterns of Population Change Rates of population growth vary across the world Not all countries are experiencing the same growth Kenya have high population growth rates High birth rates and death rates Improved health care, death rates have fallen death rates Countries like UK - population growth is slowing because of low death and low birth rates

40 Population Composition Crowded countries have nothing to do with economic development Japan and Bangladesh People should be used as resource - We need to know their quality Population vary in age, gender, literacy level, health condition, occupation and income

41 Composition of populations helps us to know - Total males and females, age groups, education, occupation, health and income To study population composition of a country - Population pyramid - Age sex pyramid

45 Top size of top shows the numbers of aged people - above 65 and reflects the number of deaths

46 The population of a country which have more birth and death rates both are high is broad at the base and rapidly narrows towards the top Children are born but large number of them die in their infancy - few become adult and very ew old - Kenya

49 In the countries where death rates are decreasing - pyramids are broad in the younger age groups - India Large number of young population Japan - low birth rates makes narrow pyramid at the base Decreased death rates allow numbers of people to reach old age
