Slide1
How do hatches and dispatches vary?
Learning intention: to understand population growth rates and how child mortality and life-expectancy affect intrinsically affect it.Slide2
Who lives the longest?
Life expectancy: the number of years a person can expect to live, usually when they are born, based on the average living conditions within a country.
Child
mortality: the number of children who die between birth and the age of five years.Slide3
Life expectancy over timeSlide4
Child mortality over timeSlide5
Life expectancy, child mortality and wellbeing.
Are ther
e downsides to living longer?
Look at Figure 2 on p. 131 in text. What are some of the trends/themes you see?
Does
life expectancy and child mortality affect wellbeing
?
What
implication does an increase in life expectancy have on the provision of health care?
Does
wellbeing affect life expectancy and child mortality?
Will
increased incomes always lead to increased life expectancy and less child mortality?Slide6
Hatches and dispatches
Fertility rate: the average number of children born per woman.
Natural
increase: the difference between the birth rate (births per thousand) and the death rate (deaths per thousand). This does not include changes due to migration.
Replacement
rate: the number of children each woman would need to have in order to ensure a stable population level – that is, to ‘replace’ its parents. This fertility rate is 2.1.Slide7
Natural increase
Open textbook to pages 132-133 and examine Figure 1, 2 & 3.
Is
there anything surprising about these maps
? What might explain some of these surprising things?
What
implications
are there for a country if its fertility rate is below replacement rate?
Suggest
reasons
why
some
countries would
have higher birth rates than others?
How
would the reasons for
some
countries in Europe experiencing high death rate differ from those African countries with similar statistics?
