  2. Population Quiz 1. What is the Demographic Revolution? 2. Draw the demographic transition model (include birth rate, death rate and population growth) 3. Draw a population pyramid of an expanding population 4. Write 3 factors that affect where you would choose to live, and why they would affect your decision (factors included in our textbook) *** LABEL YOUR DIAGRAMS

  3. Living Standards • What they are • How we measure them • Why there are differences • 1st….open your textbook to p. 341

  4. What is Living Standards? • How people live • How well/good people live • Quality of life people experience

  5. Categorize? Measure? • If we are going to categorize people & countries into “The quality of their life”…how do we measure this? • What are #’s we can use to put a “Score” to their life?

  6. Categorization • Location (quality of land and area) • GF/BF Meiyou/you:….#...how many you have • Literacy/Education: # of people who obtain higher education (HS, univ, masters, PHD) • Quality of food (safety, variety) / access to water (easy, clean, affordable) • Life expectancy: How long you are expected to live • Income: How much $$ you earn/year (person)….Country (GDP – Gross Domestic Product = import/export) • Environment – amount of green… amount of resources • Green space increases “happiness”

  7. Side Note • Who has organized all their notes/wikispace notes/SS Binder to GET READY TO STUDY?

  8. How do we measure Living Standards? • What is the HDI (Human Development Index)? • How United Nations measures Living Standards • 3 things: (1) Life expectancy, (2) Adult Literacy (Adults who can read), (3) per capita GDP • Per capita GDP = Total GDP / Total population • $1 billion GDP + 1 billion people = $1

  9. What we Measure(p. 343 – Comparing Living Standards) • More detailed aspects we look at… • Status/Rights/Freedoms of women & children • Health care (affordable, quality, access) • Level of nutrition (affordable, quality, access)

  10. Problems with Measuring Living Standards • Local trading (especially in developing countries) --- (I’ll trade you a pair of shoes for a sack of rice)…how do we measure this? • How to compare level of development?...what aspects do we look at? • Distribution of wealth is unequal! (misleading)

  11. Where in the World are… • High Living Standards areas? • Low Living Standard areas?

  12. The Divided Planet • What do High living Standard places have that Low Living Standing Places do not? • Why & How do these differences exist?

  13. Solutions to close the Living Standard Gap • We always identify the problem…then we look for solutions… • 200 richest people > wealth than 2, 500,000,000 people COMBINED!

  14. Solutions to closing the Gap • Communism…everyone is equal!! • Tax – tax the rich and give to the poor • Organizations raise money for the poor people/countries • Restructure the economic system to support the poor people/countries • Provide more social welfare • More job opportunities to poor • More quality of education for the poor

  15. Give a man a fish…and he’ll eat for a day • EDUCATE a man on how to fish…and he’ll eat for a lifetime…
