What is a
POPULATION?
D:\videos\Ecology Introduction.mp4

POPULATION
term referring to the
total human inhabitants
of a specified area, such
as a city, country, or
continent, at a given
time.

DEMOGRAPHY
Study of the population
It is concerned with the following:
Size
Composition
distribution of populations
their patterns of change over

time
through births, deaths, and migration;
and
the
determinants
and
consequences of such changes.

DEMOGRAPHY
It

is an interdisciplinary field
involving mathematics and statistics,
biology,
medicine,
sociology,
economics, history, geography, and
anthropology.
Its beginning often is dated from the
publication in 1798 of An Essay on the
Principle of Population by the British
economist Thomas Robert Malthus.

DEMOGRAPHY
Malthus

warned of the constant tendency

for human population growth to outstrip
food production and classified the various
ways that such growth would, in
consequence, be slowed.
He distinguished between positive
checks to population growth (such as
war,
famine,
and
disease)
and
preventive
checks
(celibacy
and
contraception).

REFLECTION

Identify an
overpopulated country
and know how it
affects the people way
of life.

EXAMPLE
Mexicos rapid population growth
has severely strained government
services, especially education and
health
care.
This
growing
population has placed tremendous
pressure on the government and
economy to create new jobs.

EXAMPLE
The economy has not been able
to create enough jobs to keep up
with population growth. Economic
conditions
have
prompted
thousands of skilled and unskilled
workers to migrate north to the
United States in search of
employment.
