GLOBAL DEMOGRAPHY Prepared by: Wendell S. Moralla The Contemporary World
WHAT IS DEMOGRAPHICS? It is the study of a population based on factors such as age, race, and sex. Governments, corporations, and non-government organizations use demographics to learn more about a population’s characteristics for many purposes, including policy development and economic market research
BIRTH RATE THE NUMBER OF BIRTHS PER 1000 PEOPLE PER YEAR.
MORTALITY RATE THE PERCENTAGE OF PEOPLE WHO DIE RELATIVE TO THE COUNTRY’S POPULATION (TOTAL DEATHS/TOTAL POPULATION) X 1000 = DEATH RATE
IMMIGRATION VS EMIGRATION IMMIGRATION EMIGRATION ACT OF ENTERING A FOREIGN COUNTRY FOR PERMANENT RESIDENCY ENTERING A FOREIGN COUNTRY MOVEMENT INTO A DIFFERENT COUNTRY ACT OF LEAVING ONE’S OWN COUNTRY OFTEN TO SETTLE PERMANENTLY IN ANOTHER COUNTRY LEAVING THE HOME COUNTRY
LIFE EXPECTANCY EXPECTATION OF LIFE- AT A GIVEN AGE IS THE AVAERAGE NUMBER OF YEARS WHICH A PERSON OF THAT MAY EXPECT TO LIVE, ACCORDING TO THE MORTALITY PATTERN PREVALENT IN THAT COUNTRY.
According to the UN, average life expectancy in the Philippines is 71.79 years in 2024, slightly up compared to 71.41 years in 2021. Average life expectancy in Hong Kong and Japan, meanwhile, is 85 years while in Central African Republic it is 54 years.
FERTILITY RATE TOTAL NUMBER OF CHILDREN BORNE BY A WOMAN AT A POINT OF TIME DURING HER CHILD-BEARING AGE (15-45 YEARS) FAMILY SIZE DEPENDS UPON DURATION OF MARRIAGE EDUCATION OF COUPLES NO OF LIVE BIRTHS CONTRACEPTION METHOD SOCIO ECONOMIC STATUS
MEDIAN AGE IS THE AGE THAT DIVIDES A POPULATION INTO TWO NUMERICALLY EQUALLY SIZED GROUPS- THAT IS, HALF THE PEOPLE ARE YOUNGER THAN THIS AGE AND HALF ARE OLDER. IT IS A SINGLE INDEX THAT SUMMARIZES THE AGE DISTRIBUTION OF A POPULATION. MEDIAN AGE Global Median Age 21.7- 1970 30- 2019
AGE DEPENDENCY RATIO THE RATIO OF DEPENDENTS-- PEOPLE YOUNGER THAN 15 OR OLDER THAN 64-- TO THE WORKING AGE POPULATION-- THOSE AGES 15-64. DATA ARE SHOWN AS THE PROPORTION OF DEPENDENTS PER 100 WORKING-AGE POPULATION.
DEMOGRAPHIC TRANSITION MODEL (DTM) The demographic transition model attempts to describe and predict how a population will change over time as it changes from an agrarian society to an industrial, and post-industrial society.
