Chapter 2: Population
Aim: Examine how people are distributed spatially by age, gender, occupation, fertility, and health. To understand how local diversity is a key component for population growth and how birth and death rates impact the stability of a population; however, there needs to be an understanding as to why population grows at different rates in different regions (demographic transition). A major factor for the increase in birth and death rates is medical care for each region. |
