Population Trends
Demography - terms
• Natural increase - is the change in population between two
points in time, calculated by subtracting the number of deaths
from the number of births. It largely depends on fertility,
which is the number of births in relation to the number of
women of childbearing age.
• Fertility rate - The number of live births per 1000 women of
the childbearing age group (15-44).
• Population growth - Population growth is the change in size of
population between two dates. It is the result of a country's
natural increase and its net migration.
• Net migration - is the variation of the population between two
dates resulting from the difference between the number of
immigrants and the number of emigrants.

Terms cont.
• Birth rate - The ratio of total live births to total population in a specified
community or area over a specified period of time. The birthrate is often
expressed as the number of live births per 1,000 of the population per
year.
• Replacement fertility rate - Replacement fertility is the total fertility rate
at which women would have only enough children to replace
themselves and their partner. Currently replacement rate in
industrialized work is 2.1
• Population Density – Population density is midyear population divided
by land area in square kilometers. Population is based on the de facto
definition of population, which counts all residents regardless of legal
status or citizenship--except for refugees not permanently settled in the
country of asylum, who are generally considered part of the population
of their country of origin. Land area is a country's total area, excluding
area under inland water bodies, national claims to continental shelf, and
exclusive economic zones. In most cases the definition of inland water
bodies includes major rivers and lakes.

Urbanization
• Urbanization will be one of the main demographic processes of the
coming decades, particularly in those regions that are still largely rural.
In 2008, the world passed the 50% urbanization mark. From 2018 on,
urban population growth in the world as a whole will exceed total
population growth, as rural areas will start losing population in absolute
terms. In Sub-Saharan Africa, the urban population will increase from
324 million in 2010 to 730 million in 2035. During the same period,
China’s degree of urbanization is expected to increase from 45% to 64%.
Analyze advances in the urbanization process and compare it with other
countries in the region. Highlight its relationship with economic and
social progress. Show moreover that behind the urban percentage exists
a texture for the urban system that is comparatively extensive, with
various nodes, or a large capital city and a number of small towns, i.e.
illustrate the density of the urban system. Finally, describe the
distribution of the population throughout the national territory, and in
particular regional reallocations resulting from migration, and their
relationships with policies and productive transformations. If possible,
describe the country’s policies with respect to urban growth and
population distribution.

Terms
• Demographic Transition - The notion of the demographic
transition refers to the long-term process of transition from a
demographic regime of high birth and death rates to one of
low birth and death rates. Every industrialized country has
undergone this transition, and developing countries may be
seen as being in various stages of the transition.
