GLOBAL
DEMOGRAPHY
Pertains to statistical study of the composition of human population. It
is a complex discipline that required the integration of various scientific
data which provide tools and analytical perspective to understand the
world around us.

 MIGRATION

Pertains to the permanent change of

residence by an individual or a group of
people.

Page 06 of 20
IMMIGRATION
-Act of entering a foreign country, often for permanent residency.
-Movement into a different country.
-Immigrants add to the total population.

EMIGRATION
- Act of leaving one's own country, often to settle permanently in another country.
-Movement out of home country.
-Emigrants are subtracted from the total population.

LIFE EXPECTANCY

Expectation of life at a given age is the

average number of years which a person
of such age may expect to live, according
to the mortality pattern prevalent in a
particular country.

THEORIES OF
POPULATION GROWTH
AND DECLINE
MALTHUSIAN THEORY

DEMOGRAPHIC TRANSITION THEORY

Page 09 of 20
MALTHUSIAN
THEORY

The Malthusian Theory of Population involves arithmetic food supply

growth and exponential population growth. This theory was proposed
by Thomas Robert Malthus and first published in 1798 in his piece, "An
Essay on the Principle of Population."

 DEMOGRAPHIC
TRANSITION THEORY

A theory in the late 1800's by Warren Thompson and was expanded by

other demographers and is linked by Riesman to theories of cultural
development to identify the theory of the demographic transition by
observing global trends of birth and death rates.

 STAGES OF DEMOGRAPHIC
TRANSITION THEORY

Stage 1: High Population Growth Potential.

Stage 2: Population Explosion.
Stage 3: Population Growth Starts to Level Off.
Stage 4: Stationary Population.
Stage 5: Further Changes in Birth Rates

 Mortality refers to the state of
being mortal (destined to die).

Mortality In medicine, a term also used for a

death rate, or the numbers of deaths

certain period of time.

Definition: Mortality Decline

mean that people live longer.

Causes: Cardiovascular disease

and death caused by low birth
in infants.
Consequences: Reduces population. Page 13 of 20

Fertility

Causes: Changing roles, Decline

employments shifts and
advances in reproductive
health.

Consequences: Increases GNP

RECOMMENDATION OFFSET TO
OVERPOPULATION
-Better Education
-Agriculture investment
- Develop long-term initiatives to combat poverty
- Make research and development investments
- Food assistance as part of a comprehensive social service program
- Consistent delivery of health and education services
- Social Marketing
-Promote Family Planning
-Craft long term policies aimed at fighting poverty Page 18 of 20
 Conclusion
In conclusion, because some factors have an impact on the world population throughout time. It is critical
to emphasize that human population expansion is constant. It changes over time.
Experts anticipate that by 2050, the world's population will have increased to 9 billion miles. Furthermore,
as previously said, demographic changes in policies have an impact on the environment, politics, and
resources, despite the fact that demography is responsible for the human species' expansion and decline.
And, while global demography may appear to be about big numbers and big impacts, it is ultimately about
people, thus no interdisciplinary analysis of globalization is complete without a look at the people.
Following that, Malthusian thought is pessimistic as well as realistic. Following that, Malthusian thought
is pessimistic as well as realistic. And if nothing is done, we will put our own species in jeopardy due to
overpopulation.
