The Number of people who die per 1000 of the population.
The average age a person can expect to live toin a country.
The rate at which a population in a country growsper year.
Death Rate
Birth rate
Annual Growth rate
Life Expectancy

For the population to increase (go up) more people must be born than die. The Birth Rate must be higher than the Death Rate.
Every year the people born then have more children so the birth rate will keep increasing.
Good Healthcare (hospitals, Doctors) and better lifestyles (keeping clean and eating good food) have meant that people are living longer.
Why is population increasing?

LEDC vs MEDC
• MEDC = More Economically developed country
• LEDC = Less economically developed country.
• Write down the difference between MEDC and LEDC.• Give 5 examples of each (10 countries in total).
Increased retirement homes
Large families are needed in poorer countries to work on the
landImproved healthcare
Food shortages Birth control available Longer life expectancy
Increased immigration Increased emigration New hospitalsImproved water supply Good harvests War
Understanding of child cost Tax relief for families
Cultural or Religious traditions for larger
familiesLack of education in family planning and
contraception.
In the developed world, the cost of a baby is increasing, child care is expensive and large houses are
expensive.
In LEDC children need to support parents
later in life, as there is no state pension.
Increase or Decrease?Using two colours shade in the boxes whether the factor may cause population to increase or decrease. In the spare boxes you should try and write your own ideas.
Increased retirement homes (where old people
are taken care of)
Large families are needed in poorer countries to work on the land (The children must to help
the parents)
In LEDC children need to support parents
later in life, as there is no state pension from
the government.Food shortage
(less food) Birth control available Longer life expectancy
Increased immigration(people coming)
Increased emigration(people leaving) No medication
Improved water supply Good harvests(good crops/vegetables grow)
Improved healthcare
Understanding of child cost (how much it will cost
them for one child.)
Tax relief for families(help from the government)
Natural disasters (Floods, earthquakes)
Lack of education in family planning and
contraception. (they don’t have education)
In the developed world, the cost of a baby is increasing, maids are and large houses are expensive.
Car accidents War New hospitals
MEDC vs LEDCFactor Birth/Death rate
Increase or Decrease?MEDC or LEDC
– why?
Children play an important role working with their family to help
them
Birth rate =Increase
LEDC =Need more money
Outside the cities, in villages the tradition is to have many children.
The majority of people live in urban areas…
Birth control is easily available…
Some poor countries have no pensions (for old, retired people) so they depend
on their children to look after them.
Good healthcare is available.

Booming IndiaThe last Indian census was carried out in 2011. It revealed that the population of India in 2011
was 1.2 billion. India is one of only two countries in the world with a population of more than 1 billion people. The second is China, with a population of 1.4 billion. A recent report suggests that India’s population will surpass China by 2028, when both India and China will have populations of 1.45 billion.
