  1. IB Topic 3.1 Human Population Dynamics

  2. Subtopics 3.1.1Describe the nature and explain the implications of exponential growth in human populations. 3.1.2Calculate and explain, from given data, the values of crude birth rate, crude death rate, fertility, doubling time and natural increase rate. 3.1.3Analyze age/sex pyramids and diagrams showing demographic transition models. 3.1.4Discuss the use of models in predicting the growth of human populations.

But, • Limiting factors: • Density-dependent (usually biotic) • Internal • External • Density-independent (usually abiotic) • Carrying capacity (K): maximum number (or load) of individuals an environment can support SUSTAINABLY

  5. 3.1.2 Growth Calculations • Crude Birth Rate (CBR): number of births (natality) per 1000 individuals per year (where p = midyear popln, b and d = # of births and deaths per year.) • Crude Death Rate (CDR): number of deaths (mortality) per 1000 individuals per year • Natural Increase Rate(RNI): gives percentage growth (excluding migration) • Doubling Time

  6. General Fertility Rate (GFR) number of births per 1000 women (15-49 yrs) • Age-specific Birth Rate (ASBR) number of births per 1000 women (in a specific age group, in a geo. area) • Total Fertility Rate (TFR) number of births per thousand women of childbearing age TFR = (h x  ASBR)/1000Where h=the number of years in the age cohorts for the ASFR. • Replacement Fertility Level: enough babies to replace adults • MEDC ~ 2.03 • LEDC ~ 2.16

  7. Calculating TFR from ASBR • Age Specific Birth Rate • = total number of births ÷ 1000 women of any specified year group (s)
