WEEK 10
 Global Population and Mobility

This section introduce global demography as a trend in today’s global

condition.

Week 10- The Global Demography talks about the present

condition of world population in terms of the ongoing fight
against tyranny and terrorism. Also, the importance of
democracy and human rights is established.
Overview:

The key players of globalization have been

identified.

One may ask about the relation of demography to

globalization.

Is it possible to have a global demography?

WHAT IS DEMOGRAPHY?
 DEMOGRAPHY
 Demography is the statistical study of human populations.
It examines the size, structure, and movements of
populations over space and time.
 Demography is useful for governments and private
businesses as a means of analyzing and predicting social,
cultural, and economic trends related to population.
 Also discuss the statistics such as births, deaths, income,
or the incidence of disease, which illustrate the changing
structure of human populations.
 GLOBAL
DEMOGRAPHY
 Instead of focusing on the population of one specific nation,
region, or city, GLOBAL DEMOGRAPHY studies
individuals from all over the world. Because it gives the
broad picture of the total human population untainted by
local economic, cultural, or geographic issues. Global
demography is helpful because it offers information on
human society as a whole in the past, present, and future.

 Demographers gather data mainly through

government censuses and government registries of births
and deaths. However, these sources can be inaccurate
depending on the precision of government records.
GLOBAL DEMOGRAPHY
TRENDS AND PATTERNS
 According to Reserve Bank of Australia, These past and
projected additions to world population have been, and will
increasingly be, distributed unevenly across the world. Today,
95 per cent of population growth occurs in developing
countries (see Figure 1). The population of the world's 50
least-developed countries is expected to more than double by
the middle of this century, with several poor countries tripling
their population over the period. By contrast, the population of
the developed world is expected to remain steady at around
1.2 billion, with population declines in some wealthy countries.
One of the simplest ways to consider population growth is through
crude birth and death rates. These are the number of births and
deaths per 1,000 people. On a worldwide basis, the difference
between these rates is the rate of population growth. Within regions
or countries, population growth is also affected by emigration and
immigration.

The reduction in mortality in developing countries since 1950 has

been very rapid – so rapid that the crude death rate in developing
countries is now lower than in developed countries. The gradual rise
in the crude death rate in developed countries results from the
combination of relatively steady infant and child mortality rates and
rising death rates due to an ageing population.
5
 As the experiences of several regions during the past century show, an initial fall in
mortality rates creates a boom generation because high survival rates lead to more
people at young ages than in earlier generations. Fertility rates fall subsequently, as
parents realise they do not need to produce as many children to reach their desired family
size, or as desired family size diminishes for other reasons.

 In addressing the challenges of a large youth cohort (ages 12–24), stress the
importance for long-term economic growth of investing in education and health of the
young and the need to ease entry into the labour market for this group. Once of age to
enter the labour force, the baby boom generation represents an unusually large
working-age (approximately ages 15–64) population, which offers the prospect of a
demographic dividend.

 Based on Lee and Mason (2006) , it describe two aspects of the demographic dividend:
falling fertility, leading to more workers per capita and therefore potentially more
resources to devote to development and to family welfare, and extra savings generated
when people expect a longer retirement period.
 RELATIONSHIP OF
GLOBALIZATION AND
POPULATION
GLOBALIZATION POPULATION
 Globalization means the speedup of  the whole number of people or
movements and exchanges of human inhabitants in a country or region
beings, goods, and services, capital,
technologies or cultural practices all
over the planet. And one of the effects
of globalization is that it promotes
and increases interactions between
different regions and populations
around the globe.
 Since World War II, accelerating globalization of has affected
a population of . The rapid adoption of contraceptive
technology in public health has improved life expectancy and
reduced fertility in most parts of the world. At the same time,
international travel and migration contribute to the resurgence
of the global HIV/AIDS epidemic and other infectious
diseases.

 Population size, growth and age structure also affect

globalization. Demographic changes affect the movement of
people, products and investment capital between countries.
Favorable changes in the age structure of the population will
also have a positive effect on economic growth
 Globalization affects the speed of development by
stimulating faster economic growth in some countries
than in others. The pace of development, in turn, affects
employment opportunities and incomes, levels of nutrition
and literacy, urbanization, the status of women, and
fertility, mortality, and other social and economic
conditions that affect migration. increase.
 DEMOGRAPHIC
TRANSITION MODEL
The Demographic Transition Model
(DTM) is based on historical population
trends of two demographic characteristics –
birth rate and death rate – to suggest that a
country’s total population growth rate cycles
through stages as that country develops
economically.
STAGES
which applied to most of the world before the Industrial Revolution,
STAGE 1 both birth rates and death rates are high.

Introduction of modern medicine lowers death rates, especially

STAGE 2 among children, while birth rates remain high; the result is rapid
population growth.
birth rates gradually decrease, usually as a result of improved
STAGE 3 economic conditions, an increase in women’s status, and access to
contraception. Population growth continues, but at a lower rate.
birth and death rates are both low, stabilizing the population. These
STAGE 4 countries tend to have stronger economies, higher levels of
education, better healthcare, a higher proportion of working women,
and a fertility rate hovering around two children per woman.
include countries in which fertility rates have fallen significantly below
STAGE 5 replacement level (2 children) and the elderly population is greater
than the youthful population.
WORLD’S DEMOGRAPHIC
PROFILE
 The countries of the world can be ranked according to which has the
smallest population or by which has the smallest total land area.
Although many countries that appear on one list will also appear on the
other, the order will change depending upon which statistic is chosen.
 The total area of a country refers to how much area both land and water is
encompassed by the country's borders. Often denoted in terms of miles
squared or kilometers squared, its total area is a numerical value of its physical
size. Some of the largest countries globally are Russia (6.59 million square
miles), Canada (3.85 million square miles), and China (3.75 million square
miles). Unlike the population, the total area of countries usually does not
change from one year to the next.

populous continent with about 60% of the world's population
(China and India together account for over 35%); Africa
