Processes 1.2b: Population Pyramids and Dependency
Processes 1.2b: Population Pyramids and Dependency
Population change and demographic transition over time, including natural increase, fertility rate, life expectancy, population structure and dependency ratios
- Detailed examples of two or more contrasting countries
Objective: To find out how Population Pyramids can tell us about the structure of a country's demography and how they can be used to find out about the past and plan for the future.
Resources:
Introduction - Watch Ted Video
Go over this Presentation: looking at some pyramids
population pyramid animation site. - fantastic. Have a play with it.
You need to make sure you know what dependency ratio means.
5. Document to work on: Make a copy of this, complete all of it and place in your folder.
7. ESRI Story Map of the Demographic Transition Model - Great visual
1.2c.Case studies of two contrasting countries - Japan and Malawi
1.2c.Case studies of two contrasting countries - Japan and Malawi
Use a printed out copy of this. Remember to refer to all aspects of demography.
Birth rates/ fertility rates
death rates
age structure - % >15 or over 65
Dependency ratio
other relevant demographic features
Malawi information (potential demographic dividend)
1.2d The Growth of Megacities
1.2d The Growth of Megacities
Syllabus Point: The consequences of megacity growth for individuals and societies
One case study of a contemporary megacity experiencing rapid growth
GIS Starter - Megacities geoinquiry (click) - just do the explain section (10 minutes)
Alternative Starter - look though this storymap on Megacities for 10 minutes and be prepared for questions on it.
Watch video on the right and make notes on your tabletop.
Task: You need to make a copy of the Presentation . This is a mini-research project to be completed in groups of 2/3. You can decide upon these yourself! You will be presenting these to one another next Lesson.
Here is an example from a previous class who did Shenzhen
Very general look at basic issues with reference to some case studies.
Mumbai: Good info on the first part of this video
Lagos: Africas fastest growth megacity. video and slightly out of date but good Geofile. Great up to date stuff from the InThinking site. .. (use this)
Dhaka - Is this the world's fastest growing megacity?
Wikipedia - megacities
NOTE: the case study on Mumbai in the book is very good and gives you an idea of the level of detail that you need. Also this site.

Resources:
Megacities - season 1 - great info on 7 of the megacities -watch
Andrew Marrs Megacities - Takes a while but very interesting. (living in the city - focus Dhaka)
ALTERNATIVE Method- Why not make an esri storymap e.g. like this or even a journal map like the one started here. If you want to go here.
1.2 e: Process of forced Migration
1.2 e: Process of forced Migration
The causes and consequences of forced migration and internal displacement
Detailed examples of two or more forced movements, to include environmental and political push factors, and consequences for people and places
Objective: You will be using a template to make 2 case studies -
a) Forced migration as a result of political push factors - Ukraine
Resources for Ukraine
Your book (coffee) and articles such as this and the migration data portal as well as resources on the presentation.
Make a copy of the presentation and improve it with all details for a good case study of the Ukraine crisis focusing on both Internal displacement and refugees.
You will need to consider consequences for the refugees/internally displaced peoples, and also the people and places where they move to. i.e. consider effects on local areas - e.g. Poland, but also further away places e.g. Canada
b) Forced migration as a result of environmental factors - use the case study of indigenous Alaskans moving as a result of climate change.
Environmental Refugees - Climate change and force migration in Alaska
Use the video resources below and resources on the presentation to fill in information on this page.
Kivalina - Case study of climate change force migration
Shishmaref - Case Study of climate change forced migration.
Newtok - Village forced to move (short and good case study)
