GLOBAL DEMOGRAPHY

ETONG PIC INSERT MO SA GLOBAL DEMOGRAPHY MAAM

DEMOGRAPHICS- is the study of a population based on factors such as age, race,and sex.

Governments, corporations and nongovernment organizations use demographics to learn more about a
populations characteristic for many purposes, including policy development and economic market
research.

How Demographic Information Is Used

Most large companies conduct demographic research to determine how to market their product or
service and best capture the target audience. It was valuable to know the current customer and where
the potential customer may come from in the future.

Demographic trends are also important, since the size of different demographic groups changes over
time as a result of economic, cultural and political circumstances.
 What are the stages of the Demographic Transition Model?

THE DEMOGRAPHIC TRANSITION

The demographic transition theory is a generalized description of the changing pattern of mortality,
fertility and growth rate as societies move from one demographic regime to another.

The term was first coined by the American demographer Frank W. Notestein in the mid-twentieth
century, but it has been elaborated and expanded upon by many others.

THE DEMOGRAPHIC TRANSITION

Stage 1: Pre Transition

Characterized by high birth rates, and high fluctuating death rates.

Stage 2: Early Transition

During the early stages of the transition, the death rate begins to fall. As birth rates
remain high, the population starts to grow rapidly.
 Stage 3: Late Transition

Birth rates start to decline. The rate of population growth decelerates.

Stage 4: Post- transition

Post- transitional societies are characterized by low birth and low death rates.
Population growth is negligible, or even enters a decline.

LIMITATIONS OF THE DEMOGRAPHIC TRANSITION MODEL

There are things the DTM cannot reveal: the impact of other demographic variables such as migration,
are not considered, nor does the model predict how long a country will be in each stage. But even so,
the relationship between birth rate and death rate is an important concept when discussing population
and any patterns, such as those provided by the DTM, that aid in understanding are helpful.
 GLOBAL MIGRATION

Global migration is a situation in which people go to live foreign countries, especially to find
work. Most global migration is from developing countries to developed ones.

Global migration can be understood as a cause and effect relationship, though the causes are
just as numerous as their effects. People move across international borders for a variety of
reasons .

*ECONOMIC REASONS

Lack of employment opportunities or differentials in employment opportunities and wages; the lure of a
well-paid job in a wealthy country is a powerful driver of international migration. Lack of educational
institutions across developing countries has also tremendously contributed to the reasons for migration.

*POLITICAL REASONS

The unattractiveness of agricultural activities, disasters, lack of basic amenities (roads, electricity,
portable water, and inadequate health care facilities) and industrial ventures in countries have also
encouraged international migration.

*SOCIAL FACTORS

Socially factors are things that affects someone's lifestyle. These could include wealth, religion, buying
habits, education level, family size and structure and population density.

*CULTURAL FACTORS

The idea of culture is vital to understanding the implications for translation and, despite the differences
opinion as to whether language is a part of culture or not, the two are connected. Culture range from
syntax, ideologies, religion, language and dialect, to art and literacy.

*PUSH-PULL FACTOR

In geographical terms, the push-pull factors are those that drive people away from a place and draw
people to a new location. A combination of push-pull factors helps determine migration or immigration
of particular populations from one land to another.

Push Factors: Reasons to Leave

Factors that help migrants decide to leave their home.

Pull Factors: Reason to Migrate

Factors that attract people and area where immigrants are going.

MIGRATION AFFECTS BOTH THE PLACE OF ORIGIN AND THE PLACE OF DESTINATION ON THE VARIOUS
ASPECTS SUCH AS ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECT, ECONOMIC ASPECTS, HEALTH AND SOCIAL ASPECTS.

*Environmental aspects:

Migration of people has the direct effect on both, the place of origin and the place of destination.
Problems like settlement, over-exploitation of resources, and the pollution of different kinds will be
visible.

*Economic aspects:

The consequence on the place of origin will be a loss of economically active groups of the population.
*Health and social aspect:

The places of destination are normally those places where facilities are made available to a limited
extent so as to fulfill the needs of the native dwellers. However, the places overcrowd with the constant
flow of migrants, and facilities and other needs become insufficient.
