Malthusian Theory of Population Growth

What is the Malthusian theory of population growth?

It suggests that population growth will outpace agricultural production, leading to widespread famine and societal collapse unless controlled by preventive checks (e.g., moral restraint, delayed marriage) or positive checks (e.g., disease, war, famine).

p.36
Malthusian Theory of Population Growth

What did Malthus posit about the relationship between food supply and population growth?

The food supply would eventually be unable to keep up with population growth as the latter would double in 25 years.

p.31
Migration Patterns and Factors

What is the difference between voluntary and involuntary migration?

Voluntary migration is the outcome of a choice, while involuntary migration is the outcome of a constraint.

p.24
Family Planning and its Impact on Population Growth

What is the recommended birth spacing after miscarriage or induced abortion according to WHO?

At least six months to reduce risks of adverse maternal, perinatal, and infant outcomes.

p.35
Demographic Transition Model and its Stages

What usually precedes the decline in population growth during the transition period?

The decline in mortality.

p.35
Demographic Transition Model and its Stages

What are the characteristics of Stage IV of the demographic transition model?

Low birth rate, low death rate, very low population growth.

p.8
Application of Demography within the health system

What is demographic data used for in the context of healthcare services?

It is important to understand the structure of a population in order to plan health and public health interventions, and population structures in advance. Demographic, epidemiological, and health transitions help explain dramatic shifts in population structure and patterns of disease that have taken place in most countries.

p.35
Demographic Transition Model and its Stages

What is the demographic transition?

The change that populations undergo from high rates of births and deaths to low rates of births and deaths.

p.35
Demographic Transition Model and its Stages

What are the causes of high birth rate in Stage I of the demographic transition model?

People intended to produce more children to compensate lost ones, religious beliefs.

p.27
Population Growth Rate Calculation

How is the population in the future calculated from given data?

The population in the future is calculated using the demographic equation: Pn = Po + (B - D) + (I - E), where Pn is the population at time n, Po is the population at the previous time, B is the number of live births, D is the number of deaths, I is the number of persons moving into the area, and E is the number of persons moving out of the area.

p.27
Population Density and its Significance

What is population density?

Population density refers to the number of people living per unit area, usually expressed as persons per square kilometer or square mile.

p.34
Demographic Dividend and its Economic Implications

What is demographic dividend?

It is the economic growth potential that can result from shifts in a population’s age structure, mainly when the share of the working-age population is larger than the non-working-age share.

p.24
Family Planning and its Impact on Population Growth

What is the recommended birth spacing after a live birth according to WHO?

At least 24 months to reduce maternal, perinatal, and infant outcomes.

p.35
Demographic Transition Model and its Stages

What are the characteristics of Stage II of the demographic transition model?

High birth rate, falling death rate, high growth.

p.27
Migration Patterns and Factors

What are push and pull factors associated with migration?

Push factors are reasons that drive people to leave their place of origin, while pull factors are reasons that attract people to a new location.

p.27
Family Planning and its Impact on Population Growth

What is replacement level fertility?

Replacement level fertility is the level of fertility at which a population exactly replaces itself from one generation to the next, without migration.

p.35
Demographic Transition Model and its Stages

What are the causes of high death rate in Stage I of the demographic transition model?

Famine/drought, communicable diseases/pestilence, poverty, wars, natural disasters.

p.27
Population Growth Rate Calculation

How is the population at a particular time calculated from the given data?

The population at a particular time is calculated using the demographic equation: Pn = Po + (B - D) + (I - E), where Pn is the population at time n, Po is the population at the previous time, B is the number of live births, D is the number of deaths, I is the number of persons moving into the area, and E is the number of persons moving out of the area.

p.27
Population Density and its Significance

What are the implications of urbanization?

Urbanization leads to increased population density, changes in lifestyle, and challenges related to infrastructure and resource management.
