What could cause a sudden and rapid increase in death rate?

Conflict and war

When the food or water supply becomes extremely low

Diseases that spread globally can have severe effects on population sizes

Can lead to dramatic loss of life as well as injuries to people that affect their overall quality of life

For the following factors that can severly affect the death rate, give an example that is NOT stated in Table 4.2
1) Conflict and War
2) Epidemics
3) Natural Disasters

What has been the pattern of global population change? 

Watch the video on the next slide and answer the question thereafter. 

1) Explain with the use of some examples from the video if life expectancy will continue to rise at the current rate.

2)Based on the video, list at many factors that have an influence on life expectancy.

What has been the pattern of global population change? 

Work in pairs and pick a country from Figure 4.10 on p. 91. 

Go to www.canva.com and create an infographic. 

The infograpic should answer the question:

Explain the different reasons why people are living longer in [country name]. 

Aim to write 300 words. Include images to give your work some visual interest. Include a bibliography of the sources that you used. 

Copy paste the link to the digital infographic in this answer box.
