Population Dynamics Hoorcollege 1:
Classical Demography:
- Population Size
- Population Structure
- Distribution over countries and regions
- And changes therein
3 Components: Fertility, Mortality and Migration
Social Demography:
Broadening of focus:
- Leaving the parental home
- Marriage, cohabitation
- Separation, divorce
- Health, Nutrition and place
Not just population but Individual (Macro Micro)
The Story behind the numbers!
, Population Dynamics Hoorcollege 2:
Demografisch Transitie model (DTM)
Development:
- Access to basic necessities (food, Shelter & Clothing)
- Having Money (GDP)
- Human Development Index
- Happiness
Rosling:
- Developing World ( High Growth Rates)
- Emerging World (Growth slowing down)
- Developed World (Low growth or decline)
Overpopulation:
- Overpopulation refers to the exceeding of certain threshold limits of population density
when environmental resources fail to meet the requirements of individual organisms
regarding shelter, nutrition and so forth.
- If the long-term carrying capacity of an area is clearly being degraded by its current human
occupants, that area is overpopulated (Ehrlich).
Thomas Malthus:
Population grows at a geometric rate, production capacity only grows arithmetically
Population checks: War, pestilence, famine (Mortality),Planned birth control, abstinence (Fertility)
Eugenics (Galton and others): Not too many people, but too many poor and ‘unfavourable’ people
Paul Ehrlich: The Population Bomb (1968)
