Global Demography & Demographic Transition Theory Group 8 | Contemporary World
Introduction to Demography Demography: scientific study of human population Focus: size, structure, distribution, and changes (birth, death, migration, aging)
Global Demography Trends & practices in world population Issues & development of global population Key processes: birth, migration, aging (death)
Why Demography Matters 2B 1995 6.5B 2005 9B By 2050 (projected) Issues: slower growth, population decline, aging, urbanization
Demography in Transition (Lee, 2003) Mortality ↓ then fertility ↓ Population growth ↑ then slows Leads to: low fertility, long life, aging population
Global Demographic Transition (History) 1 19th century (Europe) Began 2 20th century (Asia & Latin America) Spread to Driven by: migration, colonialism, wars
The Demographic Transition Model (DTM) 4 Stages of DTM: 01 Pre-transition high birth, high death 02 Early transition death ↓, birth high → rapid growth 03 Late transition birth ↓, growth slows 04 Post-transition low birth, low death → stable/decline
Global Examples Europe & Japan Stage 4/5 Asia, Latin America Stage 2/3 Sub-Saharan Africa Stage 1/2
Criticisms of the DTM Eurocentric model Ignores migration Different timelines per country Stage 5: still debated
Conclusion Demography is the study of population change, and through the Demographic Transition Model (DTM) we can understand the shifts in birth and death rates over time. These changes have important global implications such as aging populations, rapid urbanization, and migration. Knowing these patterns is critical for planning the future of societies, especially in making policies, preparing economies, and addressing social needs.
