GLOBAL DEMOGRAPHY
Demography
 the study of human populations –
their size, composition and
distribution across space – and the
process through which populations
change.
 Births, deaths and migration are the
‘big three’ of demography, jointly
producing population stability or
change.

AND
ASPECTS
Currently, the global demographic problem manifests itself in
such aspects and trends as: Fast population growth
(overpopulation of territories) in the developing countries of
Asia, Africa, and Latin America which are characterized by a
low space economy; Most Third World countries have no
population growth control or clear demographic policy;
Ageing and depopulation resulting from narrowed population
reproduction (demographic crisis) in industrialized countries,
primarily in Western Europe; Uneven population growth
worldwide; Population reproduction growth typical of the
planet when mortality decline is not matched with birthrate
decline.

saying,

"As the population

increases, the value of
life decreases."
