2.4 Population Dynamics

• Migration is a key factor influencing population dynamics.


  True
• In stage 2 of the DTM, death rates decline due to improved healthcare and sanitation
• The birth rate is defined as the number of births per 1,000 people in a population
• What characterizes stage 1 of the DTM?

  High birth and death rates
• Which stage of the DTM is characterized by urbanization and increased education?

  Stage 3
• Match the stage of the DTM with its characteristics:

  Stage 1 ↔️ High birth and death rates

  Stage 2 ↔️ High birth rate, declining death rate

  Stage 3 ↔️ Declining birth and death rates

  Stage 4 ↔️ Low birth and death rates

  Stage 5 ↔️ Death rate exceeds birth rate
• Order the stages of the Demographic Transition Model (DTM) based on their typical characteristics.

  1️⃣ High birth and death rates

  2️⃣ High birth rate, declining death rate

  3️⃣ Declining birth and death rates

  4️⃣ Low birth and death rates

  5️⃣ Death rate exceeds birth rate
• What does the fertility rate measure?

  Children born per woman
• Low fertility rates are associated with aging populations and women's empowerment
• The birth rate measures the number of births per 1,000 people in a population
• What is the definition of mortality rate?

  Deaths per 1,000 people
• What is the natural increase rate in Europe according to the provided data?

  -1/1000
• What is the study of population dynamics concerned with?

  How population sizes change
• In stage 5 of the DTM, the death rate exceeds the birth rate.

  True
• What characterizes stage 1 of the DTM?

  High birth and death rates
• What key driver leads to low birth and death rates in stage 4 of the DTM?

  Industrialization
• High fertility rates always lead to negative population growth.

  False
• High fertility rates are typical of developed countries.

  False
• Disease, aging, and genetic factors are examples of natural causes of mortality.
• Order the regions by their natural increase from highest to lowest:

  1️⃣ Africa

  2️⃣ Asia

  3️⃣ Europe
• A population pyramid with a wide base indicates a high birth rate and a large young population.
• Match the factor influencing population dynamics with its definition:

  Birth Rate ↔️ Births per 1,000 people

  Death Rate ↔️ Deaths per 1,000 people

  Migration ↔️ Movement into or out of a population
• What does the study of population dynamics focus on?

  How population sizes change
• Stages of the Demographic Transition Model (DTM)

  1️⃣ High birth and death rates (Stage 1)

  2️⃣ High birth rate, declining death rate (Stage 2)

  3️⃣ Declining birth and death rates (Stage 3)

  4️⃣ Low birth and death rates (Stage 4)

  5️⃣ Death rate exceeds birth rate (Stage 5)
• In stage 5 of the DTM, population growth is negative.


  True
• In stage 4 of the DTM, birth rates are low due to industrialization and family planning
• In stage 2 of the DTM, death rates decline while birth rates remain high, leading to rapid population growth.


  True
• Match the stage of the DTM with its key drivers:

  Stage 1 ↔️ Poor healthcare

  Stage 2 ↔️ Improved sanitation

  Stage 3 ↔️ Increased education

  Stage 4 ↔️ Industrialization

  Stage 5 ↔️ Aging population
• Migration is a key factor influencing population dynamics.


  True
• High fertility rates lead to rapid population growth
• Natural increase occurs when the birth rate exceeds the death rate.


  True
• A wide-based population pyramid suggests a high dependency ratio.


  True
• Stages of the Demographic Transition Model (DTM)

  1️⃣ Stage 1: High birth and death rates

  2️⃣ Stage 2: High birth rate, declining death rate

  3️⃣ Stage 3: Declining birth and death rates

  4️⃣ Stage 4: Low birth and death rates

  5️⃣ Stage 5: Death rate exceeds birth rate
• Stages of the Demographic Transition Model (DTM) in the correct order

  1️⃣ High birth and death rates

  2️⃣ High birth rate, declining death rate

  3️⃣ Declining birth and death rates

  4️⃣ Low birth and death rates

  5️⃣ Death rate exceeds birth rate
• Improved healthcare and sanitation drive the decline in death rates during stage 2 of the DTM.


  True
• High fertility rates are typical of developing
• What is the definition of fertility rate?

  Children born per woman
• Match the fertility rate with its characteristics and impact on population:

  High fertility rate ↔️ Rapid population growth

  Low fertility rate ↔️ Aging population
• Natural increase is the difference between birth rate and death rate in a population.


  True
• Population pyramids are structured as bar graphs showing age and sex composition.
