Population TrendsPopulation TrendsPrior to early 1800’s, the prevalence of
diseases that were often fatal caused slow growth (smallpox, diphtheria, measles, and scarlet fever)
Epidemics such as the black plague of the 14th century, typhus, and cholera eliminated large numbers of adults
Famines Prior to 1800’s high reproductive rates
largely balanced by high mortality (especially among infants and children)

Reasons for IncreaseReasons for Increase1800’s Louis Pasteur and others
discovered diseases caused by infectious agents (bacteria, viruses, & parasites)
Improvement in sanitation, personal hygiene, and techniques for vaccination
1930’s the discovery of penicillin (the first in a long line of antibiotics)
Better sanitation, medicine, and nutrition brought reductions in mortality
Exponential growth (death rates declined and birthrates remained high

Birth Rates Remain HighBirth Rates Remain HighLack of educationLimited or no access to birth
controlCultural/religious reasonsHigh infant mortality ratesU.S. has highest teenage

Birth Rates con’tBirth Rates con’tU.S. has highest rate of infant
mortality of developed countries◦inadequate health care (for poor
women during pregnancy and for their babies after birth)
◦ drug addiction among pregnant women
◦ high birth rate among teenagers

Age Structure DiagramsAge Structure DiagramsConstructed by plotting the
percentages or numbers of males and females in the total population in each of the 3 age categories:◦prereproductive (0-14 years)◦ reproductive (15-44 years)◦postreproductive (45-85+ years)
Age structure can affect the way a population grows. ◦ The more women in the prereproductive
years and the reproductive years, the greater the increase in population growth.

Population ProjectionsPopulation ProjectionsPopulation Momentum
◦Countries with a pyramid-shape population profile will continue to grow for 50-60 years, even after growth reduced to replacement level fertility
The Demographic Transition◦ the concept of a stable, non-growing
global human population based on people choosing to have smaller families
◦Epidemiologic Transition: Decline in epidemics resulted in a decline death rates
◦Fertility Transition: Birth rates undergo a decline, takes place over decades

Phases of Demographic Phases of Demographic TransitionTransitionPhase I: high CBR offset by high CDRPhase II: declining CDR-the
epidemiologic transition, CBR remains high, phase of accelerating growth
Phase III: declining CBR resulting from a declining fertility rate, growth still significant
Phase IV: modern stability is achieved by a continuing low CDR, but an equally low CBR
