Epidemiological Transition

What types of things are killing people?

21 of 31

Stage 1: Pestilence and Famine

High CDR.

Diseases like the Black Plague and infectious/parasitic disease.

Killed large percentages of the population.

Spread quickly and far due to lack of knowledge about diseases.

22 of 31

Stage 2: Receding Pandemics

Rapidly declining CDR.

Pandemic: disease spread over a large area, affects high proportion of the population.

Improved sanitation and understanding of what causes diseases to spread.

23 of 31

Stage 3: Degenerative Diseases

Moderately declining CDR.

Increase in rate of death from disorders associated with aging.

Cardiovascular diseases and cancers.

24 of 31

Stage 4: Delayed Degenerative Diseases

Low, but increasing CDR.

Medicine delays death from degenerative diseases.

25 of 31

What’s going on in Stage 5

High CDR

Evolution of bacteria.

Poverty and lack of access to health care.

Globalization and increased global connections (EX: cronovirus in China and international travel)

Quick Malthus Recap

28 of 31

Thomas Malthus and Overpopulation

  • Argued that population was growing too fast to keep up with the amount of food that could be produced.
  • The only ways to stop population growth is “moral restraint” (i.e., reproductive choice) or self-correcting (i.e., starvation/famine)

29 of 31

Criticism of Malthus’s Theory

  • More people stimulates economic growth & food production.
  • Poverty and hunger result of unjust society, not population growth.

30 of 31

Esther Boserup

Humans have, and will continue to, constantly find new ways to increase food production and meet population demand.

31 of 31

Which of the following examples most aligns with Malthus’s argument?

  1. A country with a dropping CBR
  2. A country with a low NIR and low physiological density
  3. A country with a high NIR putting food supplies at risk
