THE GLOBAL DEMOGRAPHY

DEMOGRAPHY the statistical study of

human population in response of several
factors such as birth, death, migration,
etc.
THE GLOBAL DEMOGRAPHY

Demographic trends are important, since

various demographic groups are impacted
over time from the fluid economic, cultural
and political changes in their community
THE GLOBAL DEMOGRAPHY

large companies often conduct demographic

research to determine and best capture the
target audience. It is valuable to know the
current customer and where the potential
customer may come from.
THE GLOBAL DEMOGRAPHY

The Demographic Transition model/theory is

a generalized description that refers to the
changing pattern of mortality, fertility and
growth rates as societies move from one
demographic regime to another.
THE GLOBAL DEMOGRAPHY

Developed by Frank W. Notestein. The

theory originally involves four stages:
 Pre-transition (Stage 1)
 Early transition (Stage 2)
 Late transition (Stage 3)
 Post transition (Stage 4)
 Stage 1 characterized by a
balance between birth rates
and death rates. This
situation was true of all
human populations up until
the late 18th century when
the balance ended in Western
Europe.
Death rates were very high at all times in this
stage due to lack of knowledge of disease
prevention and cure and occasional food
shortages (famine). While birth rates are
suspected to be caused by nonexistent family
planning and contraception
 Stage 2: death rate begins to
fall. As birth rates remain
high, creating a large gap
between both rate causing
the population to grow
rapidly. The phenomena is
usually referred as
“population explosion”
Decline in death rate is initially due to
significant improvements in public health
and improvements in food production as
agricultural practices were improved in the
Agricultural Revolution of the 18th. century
 Stage 3: population moves
towards stability as Birth
rates start to decline. The
rate of population growth
decelerates.
Changes in birth rate is a result of
developments in contraceptive; increased
literacy and employment which lowers
childbearing and motherhood as measures
of the status of women; and urbanization
since urban living raises the cost of having
children to a family
 Stage 4 characterized by a
stable population caused by
low birth and low death
rates. Population growth is
negligible, or even enters a
decline.
The changes are due to lower rates of
diseases and higher production of food. The
changes in birth rate is made possible by
improvements in contraception or women
gaining more independence and work
opportunities.
 THE GLOBAL

MOBILITY
THE GLOBAL MIGRATION
Movement of people from one continent to
another and from one country to another has
occurred throughout history. These movements
are now part of a global process that is
reshaping societies and cultures.
THE GLOBAL MIGRATION
 MOBILITY refers to the movement of people from place to
place, or job to job, or social class to social class.
 MIGRATION - the act or process of moving from one place to
another with the intention of staying at the destination
permanently or for a long period of time.
 EMIGRATION - is the act of leaving a resident country or
place of residence with the intent to settle elsewhere.
 IMMIGRATION – movement of people into a destination
which they are not natives or does not possess citizenship in
order to settle or reside.
THE GLOBAL MIGRATION
• MIGRATION INTERNAL – population movements
within a country
RURAL-URBAN MIGRATIONS
COUNTER-URBANISATION
• MIGRATION INTERNATIONAL – population
movements across national boundaries
RESETTLEMENT MIGRATION
CONTRACT MIGRATIONS
REFUGEES (Forced Migrations)
WHY DO PEOPLE MIGRATE?
THE GLOBAL MIGRATION
ECONOMIC REASON:
lack of employment opportunities; the lure of a
well-paid job in a wealthy country; Lack of
educational institutions across developing
countries are powerful drivers of international
migration
THE GLOBAL MIGRATION
POLITICAL REASON:
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 migration.
THE GLOBAL MIGRATION
SOCIAL REASON:
Socially factors are things that affect someone's
lifestyle. These could include wealth, religion,
buying habits, education level, family size and
structure and population density.
THE GLOBAL MIGRATION
CULTURAL REASON:
Culture range from ideologies, religion, language
and dialect, to art and literacy..
THE GLOBAL MIGRATION
PUSH-PULL FACTOR
factors that that drive people away from a place
(Push) and draw people to a new location (Pull).
THE GLOBAL MIGRATION
Pull Factors:
Employment opportunities,
Better standard of living
Better access to Services (such as medical facilities)
Educational opportunities
Entertainment.
THE GLOBAL MIGRATION
Push Factors:
Famine
War & Civil unrest
Rural poverty
Climate disasters
Lack of Quality Services (e.g. medical facilities &
educational opportunity)
THE GLOBAL MIGRATION
Europe, Northern America, Western Asia, and
Australia/Oceania will be net receivers of
international migrants, while ten countries will
be senders. Fourteen countries will see a net
inflow of more than one million migrants.
THE GLOBAL MIGRATION
Some of the largest migratory movements are
driven by violence, insecurity and armed conflict
(such as Syria, Venezuela and Myanmar) or by
the demand for migrant workers (Bangladesh,
Nepal and the Philippines)
