POPULATIONS CHANGING OVER A PERIOD OF TIME (4 STAGES)

HUNTERS AND GATHERERS

HIGH BIRTH AND DEATH RATES

FROM HUNTERS TO FARMERS (AGRICULTURAL REVOLUTION)

INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION - SAME MENTALITY AND HAVING MANY KIDS

MEDICAL REVOLUTION (IMPROVEMENTS OF IMR AND SANITATION)

HIGH BIRTH RATES BUT DEATH RATES PLUMMET CAUSING LARGE POPULATION

High fertility rate because children are assets, they help work in factories and farms.

More in urban area than rural area because the jobs are there

A LOT OF PEOPLE WORK IN THE INDUSTRIAL AREA, MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY KEEPS PEOPLE ALIVE

Educating women will bring down fertility rates, education on human bodies and birth control

Women start focusing on first establishing a career than having babies, family size shrinks

Death rate still decreasing but not as much as stage 2 Birth rates drop to meet death rate rapidly

Cultural lag is based on people's mind sets, Difference between early and late stage 3

Very few farmers or coal mines AND PEOPLE DECLINING in industries too

Most people working in service jobs AND Most of everyone lives in urban areas

New technology is invented and not that much problems

Death rate and birth rate is same Stable population totals

Fertility rate very low Life expectancy very high

DEATH RATES CANNOT GET ANY LOWER BUT THE BIRTH RATES ARE GETTING LOWER

Death rates higher than birth rates, that is a problem

Increase: urbanization, industrialization, education, health care, technology, life expectancy

Decreases: IMR and fertility rates
