• You should be able to estimate the current global population.
    • What is the source of your estimate?
    • How reliable is your estimation?
    • How is the global population distributed between the different continents?
    • How is the global population distributed between developed and developing countries?
  • You should be able to describe the growth of the world's population.
    • You should understand that the location of the population growth has been unevenly distributed.
    • What is an 'population explosion'?
  • You should understand population pyramids.
    • They are also called 'age-sex pyramids'.
    • Could you recognize different population pyramid structures:
      • developed country
      • developing country
      • youthful population
      • ageing population
    • Can you draw and label the four main stages of population pyramid development?
  • You should understand the demographic transition model.
    • Three lines:
      • Birth Rate
      • Death Rate
      • Total Population
    • Four or five stages:
      • Stage One - High Stationary
      • Stage Two - Early Expanding
      • Stage Three - Late Expanding
      • Stage Four - Low Stationary
      • Stage Five - Declining
    • Can you draw a labeled demographic transition model.
