pattern
Noticeable sequence/arrangement comparable in events
2 of 22
crude birth rate
the total number of births per 1000 of a population each year.
3 of 22
natural increase
The difference between the birth rate and the death rate of a country or place
4 of 22
crude death rate
a measure of the number of deaths in a population, expressed in units of deaths per 1000 individuals per year
5 of 22
infant mortality
the death of children under the age of one.
6 of 22
child mortality
the death of infants and children under the age of 5
7 of 22
fertility rate
the ratio of live births in an area to the population of that area; expressed per 1000 population per year
8 of 22
life expectancy
the average period that a person may expect to live.
9 of 22
population pyramid
is a graphical illustration that shows the distribution of various age groups in a population, which forms the shape of a pyramid when the population is growing.
10 of 22
population momentum
population growth at the national level which would occur even if levels of childbearing immediately declined to replacement level.
11 of 22
population projection
an estimate of future a population
12 of 22
dependency ratio
an age-population ratio of those typically not in the labor force and those typically in the labor force. It is used to measure the pressure on productive population.
13 of 22
ageing ratio
Age dependency ratio is the ratio of dependents--people younger than 15 or older than 64--to the working-age population--those ages 15-64.
14 of 22
youthful population
in the population structure of LEDCs, there is often a higher proportion of young people due to high birth rates and a reduction in infant mortality due to better nutrition, education and medical care
15 of 22
ageing population
Population ageing is a phenomenon that occurs when the median age of a country or region rises due to rising life expectancy and/or declining birth rates.
16 of 22
pro-natalist population policy
the policy or practice of encouraging the bearing of children, especially government support of a higher birthrate. Origin: 1935–40
17 of 22
anti-natalist population policy
The aim of anti-natalist policies is to decrease the total fertility rate, as well as the crude birth rate, in order to slow the population growth.
18 of 22
forced migration
where people move to another area without choice.
19 of 22
voluntary migration
where people move to another area through choice.
20 of 22
