Population - Day 5: Population Pyramids - Historical Trends
Warm Up:
If you were a demographer, what kind of things would you want to know about the population of a country you were studying? (think number of young people, old people, etc.)
How would you use that information?
Population - Day 5: Population Pyramids
A population pyramid shows the percentage of the total population in five-year age groups, with the youngest group (0-4) at the base of the pyramid and the oldest group on top.
Population - Day 5: Population Pyramids
Population - Day 5: Population Pyramids - Historical Trends
Age sex cohort: grouping of a population based on age and sex (usually left and blue male, right and pink female)
Sex ratio: the number of males per 100 females
Life expectancy: the average number of years a person can expect to live
Dependency Ratio: The ratio of persons in the ages defined as dependent (under 15 years and over 64 years) to persons in the ages defined as economically productive (15-64 years) in a population
(ages 0-15 and 64+ compared to the number between 15-64)

Population - Day 6: Population Pyramids - Current and Future Trends
Warm up:
What are three things you know about Germany’s population based on its population pyramid?
Population - Day 6: Population Pyramids - Current and Future Trends
As a country becomes more developed, its population structure changes
Basic progression: expansion ----> stable ----> contraction
Population - Day 6: Population Pyramids - Current and Future Trends
Stage 1: Wide base / concave profile (subsistence farming/hunting and gathering)
Challenges: Resources, economic development, producing a reliable food supply
Currently, there are no countries in stage 1. Somalia provides a good example of what the pyramid will look like.
Population - Day 6: Population Pyramids - Current and Future Trends
Stage 2: Triangular shaped pyramid (agricultural)
Challenges: Population doubling quickly, possible overpopulation, resource depletion
Population - Day 6: Population Pyramids - Current and Future Trends
Stage 3: rocket shaped profile (industrial)
Challenges: Role of women, economic development, education
Population - Day 6: Population Pyramids - Current and Future Trends
Stage 4: (service)
Challenges: Role of women in positions of power, transition from industry to service economies, elderly care
Population - Day 6: Population Pyramids - Current and Future Trends
Stage 5: (continued service)
Challenges: Economic production, filling jobs, elderly care, how to increase birth rates

Academic Controversy:
-Each group will be assigned a position, Pro-Malthus and Anti-Malthus
-Depending on your group, you will read the associated resources (6 minutes)
-You will, as a group, come up with your arguments in support of your position (3 minutes)
-Your group will find an opposing group of three. (2 mins)
-The pro Malthus group will have 2 minutes to present their perspective and arguments as to why they are right. The anti Malthus group will then have 2 minutes to present their position.
-2 minutes to debate between the groups. We will then switch your position

Population Day 10: Population Policies
Warm up in your notes
(Page 25):
What can be done to control population? Think about some of the strategies Malthus believed would work.
Population Day 10: Population Policies
Pro Natalist: Policies that encourage women to have more children.
This is generally in response to a decline in population growth and as countries transition through Stage 4 and into Stage 5.
In the past, it has also been used to build an army for war (Nazi Germany)
Cross of Honour of the German Mother was given to
mothers who conceived and raised 4 or more children
Population Day 10: Population Policies
How can it be done?
Banning the sale of contraception (ex. Mongolia)
Cash/tax incentives (ex. Russia)
Free/cheaper baby items (ex. Finland)
Cheap Child care (ex. France)
Paid maternity Leave
Issue:
Women who are unable to have children are
unable to benefit from the programs
Finland’s Child Benefits
Population Day 10: Population Policies
Anti-Natalist: programs that encourage smaller families
Generally done when there is not enough resources and overcrowding concerns arise. Happens during the population explosion of Stage 2. Can lead to sex-selective abortions (boy preference)
Population Day 10: Population Policies
How can it be done?
Lowering price of contraception (covering the cost by the government)
Increasing taxes on “baby stuff”
Publicizing the benefits of smaller families (propaganda)
Money for childless couples
Issues:
Sterilization could be forced (US/Germany)
Not meeting replacement level (2.1)
Quickly progresses towards Stage 4/5
Population Day 10: Population Policies
Eugenics: targeting different groups to “purify” the genetic pool
- Germany used the US model for their sterilization policies during
the 1930s and 1940s.
-In 1934, there were 5,000 sterilizations happening each month in Germany.
Population Day 10: Population Policies
“We have seen more than once that the public welfare may call upon the best citizens for their lives. It would be strange if it could not call upon those who already sap the strength of the State for these lesser sacrifices, often not felt to be such by those concerned, in order to prevent our being swamped with incompetence. It is better for all the world, if instead of waiting to execute degenerate offspring for crime, or to let them starve for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind...Three generations of imbeciles are enough.”
Chief Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. (8-1 decision)
Population Day 10: Population Policies
US: The World:
12 weeks, unpaid time Slovakia: 156 total weeks between parents
Norway: 35 weeks at 100% pay for mother,
Up to 45 weeks with 80% pay
$9589 a year for child care France: Day care as low as .50 an hour, all day
Preschool free to all residents starting at 3
Maximum $1000 tax credit $150-$225 per child, per month

Population Day 11: Why Do People Die of Different Things?
Population Day 11: Why Do People Die of Different Things?
Epidemiologic Transition Model- Tracking how/why people die based on developmental factors
Public Health- “the art and science of preventing disease, prolonging life and promoting health through the organized efforts of society” - World Health Org.
As countries develop, the cause of death also changes.
Similar to the demographic transition model, we can
track where countries are over time based on the causes
of death
Population Day 11: Why Do People Die of Different Things?
London Cholera Outbreak 1854:
-Industrializing city but was overcrowded and very unsanitary
-Cause of cholera was unknown at the time
-Large amount of people start to die
-John Snow begins to map those affected to determine the source of the outbreak
Population Day 11: Why Do People Die of Different Things?
Concerns Moving Forward:
New diseases that might be drug resistant (think Planet of the Apes/Contagion)
Access to medicine is not equal, both domestically and internationally
Overprescription of drugs can lead to stronger strains of diseases
Population Day 12-Women and Population
Warm-up:
Why is women’s access to education and healthcare so important when it comes to population and public health?
Population Day 12-Women and Population
-214 million women in developing countries want to delay pregnancy but do not have access to modern contraceptives.
-About 16 million girls aged 15 to 19 and some 1 million girls under 15 give birth every year—most in low- and middle-income countries.
-Complications during pregnancy and childbirth are the second cause of death for 15-19 year-old girls globally.
-The risk of lifetime maternal death in high-income countries is 1 in 3,300 compared to 1 in 41 in low income countries
-Life expectancy is three years longer for children born into smaller families in the developing world
Population Day 12 - Women and Population
Millennium Development Goals:
Population Day 12-Women and Population
Reducing inequalities in women’s education and increasing access to healthcare, especially family planning, play a very important role in these goals.
Family Planning: the practice of controlling the number of children in a family and the intervals between their births, particularly by means of artificial contraception or voluntary sterilization.
According to the UN, access to safe, voluntary family planning is a human right. Family planning is central to gender equality and women’s empowerment, and it is a key factor in reducing poverty.
