3. What is population?01
Population typically refers to the number of people in a single area,
whether it be a city or town, region, country, continent, or the world.
The population of the world is growing at an exponential rate; it is
growing faster and faster.
There are two things that affect the population size of the world:
1)Birth rate -The number of live babies born per thousand of the
population per year.
2)Death rate -The number of deaths per thousand of the population
per year.
When the birth rate is higher than the death rate, more people are being
born than are dying, so the population grows. This is called natural
increase.
When the death rate is higher than the birth rate it is called the natural
decrease.

4. What is lifestyle?02
Lifestyle is the typical way of life of an individual, group, or culture. The
term was originally used by Austrian psychologist Alfred Adler.
Lifestyle is a manner of living that reflects the person's values and
attitudes. The term refers to a combination of determining intangible or
tangible factors. Tangible factors relate specifically to demographic
variables, i.e. an individuals demographic profile, whereas intangible
factors concern the psychological aspects of an individual such
personal values, preferences, and outlooks.
The modern lifestyle has a number of advantages which includes easing
peoples life, saving hundreds of peoples lives by the new development
in all aspects of life.
Different modern life style patterns affects our health in different
aspects physically, psychologically, and socially.

5. Stages of growth03

6. Managing the growth04
Rapid population growth has social, economic and political impacts.
1) Social
❑Services like healthcare and education cannot cope with the rapid increase
in population, so not everyone has access to them.
❑There aren't enough houses for everyone, so people are forced to live in
makeshift houses in overcrowded settlements.
2) Political
❑Most of the population is made up of young people, so the government
focuses on policies that are important to youth for example -education
and provisions of things such as childcare, and healthcare.
3) Economic
❑There aren't enough jobs for the number of people in the country so
unemployment increases.
❑There is increased poverty because more people are born into families that
are already poor

7. Managing the growth04
Countries need to control rapid population growth and they also need to
develop in a way that allows their people of today to get the things they
need without stopping people in the future getting what they need.
Here a few examples of population policies and how they help to achieve
sustainable development:
❑Birth control programs aim to reduce the birth rate. Some governments
do this by having law about how many children couples are allowed to
have. Governments also help couples to plan (and limit) how many
children they have by offering free contraception and sex education.
This helps towards sustainable development because it means the
population will not expand.
❑Immigration programs ought to be altered to aim to control
immigration (people moving to a country to live there permanently).
Governments can limit the number of people that are allowed to
immigrate. They can also be selective about who they let in, for example,
letting in fewer people of child bearing age means there will be fewer
immigrants having children.

8. Families in today’s world05
These days, there are many different types of families, and each one
of them responds to new realities. If anything has changed in recent
times, it’s our idea of what a family is. Nowadays, there are many
different types of families, and this has changed our view of what we
once considered to be the traditional structure.Until not too long
ago, the conventional composition was the dominant one, but this
is no longer the case.
The following are the types of modern families:
❑Extended family
❑Nuclear family
❑With separated parents
❑Single-parent
❑Adoptive
❑Pet families
❑Childless

9. Families in today’s world05
Families like any other institutions are getting modernized and
westernized.
Some instances would be:
❑Families prefer to travel internationally to popular destinations.
❑Families like to watch foreign films and now almost every child in
an urban setting listen to popular pop and rock music.
❑A lot of families are exposed to social media and enjoy their time
there.
❑Food habits of families is constantly evolving.
❑Parents are not quite lenient with their children completely yet.
❑On a scale of 1 to 10 , parents are now slowly accepting mental
health issues. Children are still scared (rightfully so) of parental and
societal pressure and do not open up. We still have a long way to
go.
