Population

1. Define population.
population refers to the amount of people that is living per capita
2. Define Population explosion.
population explosion refers to the rapid growth of population per day
3. State the causes of population explosion in a country.
it may be because of the rapid birth rate in that specific country or the amount of
immigration activity that is happening in that country.
4. State the negative impact of population explosion in a country according to its economic
problem.
Competition for jobs and increasing of crime due to its needs for basic necessary
5. State the negative impact of population explosion in a country according to its
environmental problem.
Healthy problems and environmental problems form the disposal waste from people.
6. State the negative impact of population explosion in a country according to its resources
problem.
Competition for energy, water supply, food and fuel.
7. Briefly explain the differences between Over-population and under-population.
over-population happens when the population exceeds the resources available for the
country that does not support the full capacity of the population, while under-population
happens when the resources available exceeds the number of populations, and the
resources are not being used.
8. Briefly explain the causes of Over-population in a country.
It is caused by the overall difference in birth rate and death rate, such as an increase in birth
rate (younger marriage, religion beliefs, and social pressure) but a decrease in death rate
(advanced in the medical aspects and higher quality in food and water).
9. Briefly explain the effects of Over-population in a country.
Over population may cause water and air pollution, not enough housing, shortage of water
and food, high crime rates, not enough health care and education, lack of employment, and
poverty in a country. It because the remaining resources can not support the number of
populations in that country.
10. Briefly explain the causes of under-population in a country.
It is caused by the overall difference between the birth rate and death rate, such as a
decrease in the birth rate (women are more focused in building their careers, higher
education, expensive to have a child, and the changes in their religious beliefs) and a
decrease in death rate (advanced in the medical aspects and higher quality in food and
water).
11. Briefly explain the effects of under-population in a country.
under population may cause shortage of workers, low level of production, resources are
underused, high taxes, lack of government income, small market for hoods and services, and
low value of exports.
12. State the causes of a change in population size.
13. Look at the following graph
(a) (I) 25%
(ii)
(b)
14. Outline how educating women affects population growth.
As more women are getting higher educations, they learn of other important aspects in their
lives that does not require them into being a mother, as such, they would rather have a and
build a higher career for them self to feel that their education really matters. They also learn
that raising children are expensive and because of the raise in inflation, it is getting more
expensive as time went by, you need to gather enough money to support you, your spouse,
and your children.
15. Outline one social impact of rapid population growth.
Because of the rapid population growth, is the affect of overusing the resources that are
available, such as food, water, and housing. These resources are the basic of human needs,
with the decrease of these resources, many would struggle to survive in the current
economy in the country.
16. Outline one economic impact of rapid population growth.
It may plunge the economy into a mass unemployment and under-employment, the
proportion of workers increases and the total of population rises. As it is not possible to
expand jobs, there would be an increase in labour forces, the rapidly increasing population
may reduce incomes, savings, and investments.
17. Outline one impact on the environment of the increased use of road transport.
18. What is migration?

a) State the negative effects of living in the conditions shown in Figure 6.

They are living in a poor condition; they are living beside a trashed filled river where
they may be able to contact a disease that caused them to be sick.
b) Outline one way the conditions shown in Figure 6 could be improved.
They can regularly clean the river by picking up the trash, but we should also stop with
the source. We can inform them or better, make a law that discourage the throwing of
trash in the water and to throw their trash in the proper plce.
 c) Use one or more examples to describe the characteristics of sustainable urban living.

24. Outline one way a country with an ageing population can encourage an increase in birth
