More on demographic transition

Khan academy video:

• Growth rate measure how much the population grows or shrinks over some time period
• Stabilization more often occurs in industrialized countries rather than the pre-industrialized countries because they rely on advancements from industrialized countries.
• With more people dying than being born, it would be a negative growth rate

Kim Smith Video:

• in the 1800's population grew by only 67,000 people each year, while now it grows an immense amount each year compared to the 1800's
• Because of things like the plague, war, famine and poor living conditions many people used to die young creating high death rate across the world.
• children were defined as assets and property to the parents

Why populations grow video:

• Japan is expected to lose 20% of its population by the year 2050
• the changes in birth and death rate and their effect on the total population of a country can be shown on the demographic transition models 
• stage four countries have strong economies, a highly educated population, strong healthcare systems, and more woman on the work force.

My favorite video was the khan academy video. it has visual images of the demographic transition models and it thoroughly showed me what it meant when a population grew or fell. The video showed me how and why the rates of each category would seem to fall and it showed me what effected the population.
