What is the difference between population distribution and population density?

Which four factors influence where (most) people live?

Learning goals

• You understand how the brith rate and life expectancy differ in poor and rich countries 
• You understand why the number of births is so high and the average life expectancy is so low in poor countries
  

Population growth 

Every minute the world's population increases by 120 people

Population growth 

Two causes:

1. Large number of births
2. People are living longer 

Population growth 

1. Many children are being born, particularly in poor countries
   
2. The life expectancy (levensverwachting) is 72 worldwide (1950: 48 years) 

Why are families in poor countries often larger than in rich countries?

Birth

Bigger families in poor countries:

1. Children work for their parents
2. People make less use of ways to prevent pregnancies (in some religions this is forbidden)

Birth

Bigger families in poor countries:

3. Many children die at a young age

4. A large family ensures greater prestige (aanzien)

Death

People become older, due to better living conditions (rich countries):

• Better hygiene
  
• Sewage systems (rioolstelsels)
  
• Clean water
  
• Doctors and medicines 
  

Life expectancy poorest countries: 50

Learning goals

• You understand how the brith rate and life expectancy differ in poor and rich countries 
• You understand why the number of births is so high and the average life expectancy is so low in poor countries
