,Population Geography Concepts
• Population Geography is the branch of Human Geography about the composition,
structure, size, distribution, and density of population.
• Population structure refers to how a population is made up with regards to gender
and age group.
• Population distribution is to the spreading of population across the earth.
• Population density: is the number of people occupying an area, expressed as people
per square kilometre (people/km2).
• Demography is to the study of population statistics.
• Ecumene is the parts of earth that are suitable for people to live in.
• Non-ecumene is part of the earth that are not suitable for people to live in.
• Infant mortality rate is the number of infant deaths per 1000 live births.
• Economically active population are people who are at employable age
• Economically dependent are people who do not work and economically dependent.
• Literacy rate is the percentage of the total population who can read and write.
• Dependency ratio is the relationship between the economically active population and
economically dependent population.
• Zero population growth is birth rate equals to death rate.
• Population growth is the natural change in the world’s population.
• population growth rate is the rate/speed at which the world’s population is growing.
• Overpopulation is when the number of people living in an area is greater than the
number of people the area can support.
• Population distribution: is the spreading of population across the earth.
• Birth rate: refer to the number of babies born per 1000 of population per year.
• Death rate is the number of deaths per 1000 of the population per year.
• Fertility rate is an average number of children a woman is expected to have within her
child-bearing age.
• Natural increase (growth rate): is the rate at which a country’s population is growing
excluding immigration (birth rate minus the death rate).
• Life expectancy: is an average number of years a person can expect to live.

, Population distribution and population density
Population distribution: is the spreading of population across the earth. The world’s
population is not evenly distributed across the earth.
• The worlds population is not evenly distributed across the earth.
• About half of the world’s population lives on only 5% of the Earth’s land.
• About 60% of the world's population lives in one continent, Asia.
• Even within a country, certain places have lots of people, and some other parts
have few people.
Population density: is the number of people occupying an area, expressed as people per
square kilometre (people/km2).
• To calculate population density, we divide the total population by the area in which
they live.
• We then express this as the number of people/km2.
• The higher the country’s population density the crowded the country is.
