,Lecture 1 - 07.09.2022: Population
Population trends
- The nexus of population growth and environmental burden, in particular food and
water
- Rising pressure on environment by population growth and increasing consumption
- Confidence interval: not able to predict the future development exactly (many factors
that you have to take in consideration) → hoe verder in de toekomst, hoe onzekerder
- What we know: Trend of increase in population, what we don’t know for sure is how it
is going to develop further, there can be issues we haven’t seen yet
- ,
Human footprinting
- the population is increasing, just like the carbon dioxide, freshwater use, fertiliser
consumption, marine fish capture and tropical forest loss → concerning
, Population growth
- Verwacht wordt dat het aantal mensen toeneemt op de wereld, maar dat de groei
daalt (mensen worden ouder etc.)
- Has the COVID-19 pandemic affected the global population? More deaths, due to
Covid. No indication for increase of births.
- What is the trend of fertility rates and deaths?
- When will the world population peak?
- Which is the world’s most populous country in 2025? India
Population growth rate is decreasing, however, the population is still increasing. Als de
fertility rate eerst 7-9 is en nu 2-3, neemt dus de growth rate af maar de bevolking kan nog
steeds groeien
Regional differences in population growth
Future population growth will stem almost entirely from the world’s poorest countries of
sub-Saharan Africa and parts of South Asia.
Differences in life expectancy
- Rising life standards
- Improving health conditions
- However the population is growing, there are still differences
- Decline in death rates started before decline in birth rates (due to better healthcare)
- Medical developments, accessibility of health services →
Differences in Total Fertility Rates (TFR)
- Decrease in fertility rate after 1950: birth control
- <1950: 30 years (life expectancy), increase after WW2
