Ageing Population
where people are living longer and/or a declining birth rate meaning that there are more elderly than young people in a country
1 of 27
Birth Rate
the amount of babies born per 1000 of the population per year
2 of 27
Death Rate
the amount of deaths per 1000 of the population per year
3 of 27
Economic Migrant
a person moving for work reasons
4 of 27
Emigrants
people moving out of a country
5 of 27
Fertility Rate
the average number of children born to a woman
6 of 27
Immigrants
people moving into a country
7 of 27
Life Expectancy
the average number of years a person is expected to live
8 of 27
Migration
movement of people into and out of an area or country
9 of 27
Migration Balance
Positive- more immigrants than emigrants; increase population. Negative- less immigrants than emigrants; decrease population
10 of 27
Natural Increase/Decrease
the difference between birth rates and death rates
11 of 27
Open Door Migration Policy
a population policy that encourages international migration
12 of 27
Points Based Migration Policy
a population policy that only allows skilled people to migrate to that country
13 of 27
Population Balance
birth and death rates are almost equal and the population remains level

15 of 27
Replacement Level
the amount of babies needed to be born for the population to remain the same
16 of 27
Pro-Natalist Policy
a population policy that encourages births to increase the population
17 of 27
Anti-Natalist Policy
a population policy that tries to reduce the birth rate and therefore reduce population growth
18 of 27
Tipping Point
a point beyond which leads to over population
19 of 27
Youthful Population
high birth rate and death rate leads to lots of children in the population
20 of 27
Optimum Population
all natural resources can be exploited and standard of living is at a maximum
21 of 27
Under Population
population too small to exploit all resources
22 of 27
Over Population
resources per person and standard of living goes down when a country starts to become over-populated, it is beyond it carrying capacity
23 of 27
Standard of Living
natural resources × technology ÷ population
24 of 27
Dependency Ratio
children (% 0-16) + elderly (% 65+) × 100 ÷ (economically active %)
25 of 27
Economically Active Population
percentage 16 - 64 years old
26 of 27
Annual Population Growth Rate
natural resources × technology ÷ population
