The document discusses food insecurity and the working poor in America. It finds that 48.1 million Americans experience food insecurity, including 6.9 million households with very low food security. Food insecurity disproportionately impacts households with children, especially those headed by single parents, as well as black and Hispanic households. The working poor, who work at least 27 weeks per year but remain in poverty, make up 13% of black and Hispanic workers and 16% of part-time workers. The document also profiles a boy named Elias who attends a community center where most families live close to the poverty line and struggle with adequate nutrition.

Health Disparities
Health disparities refer to differences in health status between groups based on factors like race, ethnicity, income, and geography. Minority groups like Hispanics and Blacks experience higher rates of health issues like obesity compared to Whites. For example, 42% of Latino adults are obese compared to 32.6% of Whites, and Latino children have much higher obesity rates starting at a young age. This is likely due to socioeconomic factors - Latino households have significantly lower median incomes and higher poverty rates than White households, making it harder to afford nutritious foods and contributing to higher obesity and related health issues in the Latino community. Addressing inequities in factors like income and access to healthy foods is important to improve health outcomes overall
Over population
Overpopulation is a major problem in Pakistan, where the high birth rate outpaces the death rate. This is caused by factors like lack of education, desire for male children, polygamy, and early marriages. Overpopulation leads to increased poverty, unemployment, and health and environmental issues due to scarce resources being strained by the large population. To control overpopulation, awareness must be raised about the benefits of family planning and small family norms through education and media campaigns. Religious leaders should also encourage controlling family size.
Population
The document discusses overpopulation in India, which has the second largest population in the world. It states that India's population is growing at an alarming rate due to high birth rates and low death rates. This population explosion puts increasing pressure on India's limited resources and leads to problems like inflation and poverty. The major causes of overpopulation are social beliefs, lack of awareness about family planning, and improved medical services. The effects include poverty and a reduced standard of living for many people. Solutions proposed include increasing public awareness, focusing on women's education and family planning, and government programs to encourage smaller families.
Poor vs Rich
The document discusses poverty around the world and its causes and consequences. It notes that the richest 10% consume 50% of the world's meat while the poorest 20% consume only 5%. At least 70% of humanity lives on less than $10 per day. Causes of poverty include lack of access to education, malnutrition, government neglect of the poor, economic slowdowns, and lack of job opportunities. Consequences are increased diseases, overcrowding, unemployment, crime, and an aging population. Proposed cures include charity events to raise awareness, providing free education, reducing overpopulation through urbanization, and increasing access to healthcare.
Facts about poverty
70% of the world's poor are women, who receive 30-40% less pay than men and head 80-90% of poor families. Over a billion people live on less than $1 per day, and each day over 30,000 children die from preventable causes like malnutrition and disease. Meeting the needs of those in extreme poverty requires a large-scale effort to match the magnitude of the global problem. Changing ourselves can help address poverty by changing how we think and helping others.

This document provides an overview of poverty among child-headed households in sub-Saharan Africa. It discusses factors that lead to the establishment of child-headed households, including parental death, lack of extended family support, and parental neglect. It also examines the deprivation these children face regarding income, healthcare, nutrition, education, shelter, and emotional well-being. Good practices from some countries that provide support to child-headed households are mentioned, and recommendations are made to better support these vulnerable children through skills training, access to services, social protection, and prevention of abuse and exploitation.Care of girl child
The document discusses the importance of caring for the girl child starting from pregnancy and throughout childhood. It notes that a girl's body has specific nutritional needs and requires more calcium, iron, and other nutrients during its development. Taking care of a girl child's physical, mental, and emotional health is crucial for her future health and ability to care for others. The Indian government has implemented various policies and programs aimed at improving the status of the girl child, including financial incentives for families with girls, educational scholarships, and national nutrition and health policies. However, female literacy rates in India remain among the lowest in Asia, highlighting the ongoing need to prioritize girls' education.

lacking education due to poverty
This document discusses poverty and its causes in developing countries. It notes that developing countries often have low standards of democratic government, poor industrialization, inadequate social programs, and few human rights guarantees. Poverty is defined as lacking basic necessities like food, shelter, access to healthcare, jobs, and security. Over 1 billion people live on less than $1.25 per day. There are also large wealth divides, as a few wealthy individuals control a disproportionate percentage of global resources. The document calls for achieving goals like universal primary education, access to water and sanitation, and reducing poverty and child mortality by 2015.
Causes and Effects of Poverty
This document discusses poverty, including its causes, effects, and the poverty cycle. It defines absolute and relative poverty. The causes of poverty discussed include theories that the poor have little concern for the future or engage in self-defeating behaviors. The effects of poverty on children include higher rates of health problems, accidents, and missed school. Poverty also increases stress levels in families. The cycle of poverty refers to how poverty can span generations as those in poverty lack the resources to escape it.
Over Population
The document discusses population problems in India and measures to address overpopulation. It begins by defining key demographic terms and explaining that demography is the scientific study of human populations. It then outlines causes of population growth in India such as improvements in healthcare and food production. Major consequences of overpopulation are described like pressure on land resources, food and housing shortages, unemployment, and environmental changes. The document concludes by summarizing new approaches to control population like decentralized planning and state-specific strategies, as well as measures like increasing the marriage age and women's status, education, and involvement of non-governmental organizations.

Poverty 2010
Poverty is defined as having little to no money or material possessions. It means lacking basic needs for survival such as food, shelter, water, and clothing. Every 24 seconds, one child dies due to poverty. Major causes of poverty include lack of education, unemployment, excess population growth, and natural disasters. The document notes that over 1 billion children live in poverty worldwide, with many lacking adequate shelter, safe water access, or health services, and over 11 million children under age 5 dying in 2010 due to poverty-related causes.
One Child Policy In China
The one child policy was introduced in China in 1979 to control the country's large population growth. It restricted urban families to only one child and rural families to two if the first was a girl. This led to forced abortions and sterilizations to meet quotas. It also caused societal issues like a gender imbalance. While it achieved population control, it was also criticized for infringing on personal freedoms. Recent changes allow two children per family and ban forced birth control measures.
HUNGER IN PHILADEPHIA-2
This document provides information about hunger in Philadelphia. It begins by defining hunger and food insecurity. It then notes that in 2012, families requested the most food assistance at 55% and that the unmet demand for emergency food assistance in Philadelphia is 33%. It also states that hunger costs $6 billion per year spent on effects related to education, charities, and medical care. The document then discusses poverty rates in Philadelphia and factors that contribute to poverty like limited income and lack of resources. It provides information about SNAP/food stamps including eligibility requirements and benefits. It notes cuts to SNAP funding through the Farm Bill will result in Philadelphia households losing millions of dollars for food assistance each month. This will increase demand on food banks and
Child poverty
Child poverty is a serious issue globally. Over 1 billion children worldwide live in poverty without adequate shelter, water, health services, or immunization. Poverty negatively impacts children's development and health, with poor children being twice as likely to have stunted growth. Living in poverty also takes a psychological toll on children and parents, adding stress and sometimes leading to disrupted parenting. If child poverty is not addressed, it risks perpetuating an intergenerational cycle where the children of poor children become poor themselves, negatively impacting communities and societies. Addressing child poverty requires action and inspiration to change conditions for children worldwide.

The document summarizes the Aboriginal Head Start program in Manitoba, which aims to support Aboriginal children's development and prepare them for school. The program focuses on culture, education, health, nutrition, social support, and parental involvement. An evaluation found that children developed stronger skills and parents gained knowledge to support their children's growth. The program has benefited from dedicated staff and the support of funders and sponsors over its 15-year history.
China's one child policy
The one child policy was introduced in China in the 1970s to control its rapidly growing population. The goal was to limit China's population to 1.2 billion by 2000, though it exceeded that number. Before the policy, the average number of children per woman was 6. This high fertility rate led to overpopulation issues as resources could not sustain such rapid growth. While the policy helped reduce China's growth rate, it also led to gender imbalance and other social issues. The policy remained in effect until 2015.
Poverty & child development
This document discusses the effects of poverty on child development. It notes that almost 14 million US children live below the poverty level, with 19% considered poor. Growing up in poverty can negatively impact children's learning abilities, development, self-esteem, and mental health, and increase risks of abuse, bullying and antisocial behavior. While education is seen as key to rising above poverty, those in poverty often feel it is unattainable. Support systems are important to help disadvantaged children reach their full potential despite obstacles.
Unwanted Pregnancy, Sex Education, and American Society
Nearly half of Americans aged 15-19 have had sex, with the majority first having sex around age 17. However, they do not usually marry until their mid-to-late 20s, leaving many years when teens and young adults are at risk of unwanted pregnancy and STIs. Premarital sex is far more common today than in 1900 due to factors like the sexual revolution of the 1960s-70s. Views on premarital sex have also become more accepting over time. The document discusses the debate around whether teens can be mature enough to handle sexual relationships and whether being sexually active means one should tell their parents.

Falling fertility
Falling fertility rates occur when there is a huge decrease in the ratio of live births to the population in an area. Rates have declined around the world due to factors like increased access to contraception, changing social values, women's empowerment, and the rising costs of education. Some countries with very low fertility rates below 2.1 children per woman, like Japan and parts of Europe, face concerns about shrinking workforces and economies. Governments have attempted solutions like family benefits, but reversing declines remains a challenge with long-term impacts still unclear.
CAMBRIDGE AS GEOGRAPHY - CASE STUDY: CHINA'S ONE CHILD POLICY
The one-child policy was introduced in China in 1979 to curb rapid population growth and prevent future shortages. The policy aimed to reduce China's population to 700 million by 2080 by limiting couples to only one child. It was enforced through incentives like education benefits for only children as well as punishments like fines for additional children. The policy was effective because of government influence over daily life. It led to a dramatic drop in birth rates, preventing 200-400 million births, and is expected to cause China's population to peak at 1.4 billion in 2030 and then decline.
Five Children’s Issues
Poverty affects millions of children in the US, with 1 in 5 children living in poverty and nearly half living in single-parent households. Childhood obesity has more than doubled in the last 30 years. Behavioral disorders like ADHD and autism spectrum disorder affect millions of American children. Child abuse is reported every ten seconds in the US, with many children dying from abuse and neglect each day. When children go missing, the majority are endangered runaways or victims of family abductions.
One Child Policy in China
The one-child policy was introduced in China in the late 1970s under Deng Xiaoping to limit population growth and encourage families to only have one child. It aimed to reduce China's high population growth rate through strict family planning policies like incentives, sanctions, and even forced abortions and sterilization. Over time, exceptions were made for rural families and those whose first child was a girl. The policy led to a decline in fertility rates but also caused unintended consequences like a gender imbalance as sons were preferred and abandonment of baby girls. It remained in effect for nearly four decades before being replaced in 2015.
Small family norm India
1. The document discusses the advantages of adopting a small family norm in India, where the goal is to achieve a family size of 2.3 children by 2000.
2. Large family sizes can negatively impact per capita income, nutrition, health, education and use of resources. Having many closely spaced pregnancies increases health risks for both mother and child.
3. Adopting a small family norm provides benefits like better maternal and child health, more opportunities for education and jobs, financial savings, and a more prosperous community overall. Efforts are being made to promote this through information, services, and improving the status of women.

This document provides an overview of civil society participation in the 49th session of the UN Commission for Social Development in 2011. It describes how NGOs were involved through a Civil Society Forum on the theme of poverty eradication, and in the Commission's discussions on poverty trends, social protection policies, and issues related to groups like persons with disabilities, youth, older persons, and families. The report aims to guide new NGOs on engaging with the UN on social development issues.15 Poverty Discourse
The document discusses different perspectives on poverty and proposes that people are not inherently poor but are made poor due to faults in existing systems. It argues that poverty is a result of lack of education, awareness, and proper leadership. It calls for reforms to systems and leadership with visions for nation building to empower people and utilize a country's potential for development.
poverty as a challange
The document discusses different aspects and definitions of poverty. It defines poverty as not having enough money to meet basic needs like food, shelter and clothing. The World Bank further describes poverty as hunger, lack of shelter, inability to access healthcare or education. The document also discusses different methods used to measure and define poverty, including relative poverty based on income comparisons between regions, and absolute poverty based on minimum calorie intake and consumption levels. It notes several groups that are most vulnerable to poverty in India, including scheduled tribes, casual and agricultural laborers, and scheduled castes. Several government schemes aimed at poverty alleviation are also outlined.

UN Day of Families 2011
Celebrations of the United Nations Day of Families organized by Universal Peace Federation chapters, May 15, 2011
The Universal Peace Federation affirms the value of the family as the core unit of society. The family has formed the basis for communities, societies and civilizations throughout the ages. Virtually all the world’s religions teach the sacred value of marriage and family. The family is the school of love. It is also the school of virtue, ethics and citizenship.
The cohesion and stability of the family are prerequisites for a healthy and stable society. Conversely, the breakdown of the family contributes to a wide range of social problems. By strengthening the family, we can build a stronger base of social capital that will enhance the overall quality of life for everyone.
The natural family is grounded in marriage, the cornerstone of the family. Children benefit from having loving parents, a mother and father, who are committed to the well-being of their sons and daughters. There is no greater joy and no greater responsibility than that of raising boys and girls to become mature, socially-engaged and successful men and women. This is the role and responsibility of parents and grandparents.
Traditional marriage and family are being challenged in a variety of ways at this time in history, by poverty, migration, displacement, urbanization, conflict, disease, etc. In addition, some question the value of traditional marriage and family. Others seek to redefine them. Despite these challenges, men and women the world over still aspire to build strong, loving, lasting marriages and, as parents, to raise children who prosper and flourish.

Gdit 819 social justice phase iii
The document discusses the effects of poverty on childhood language and literacy development. It notes that language is key to literacy learning and that exposure to words helps develop knowledge. Poverty can negatively impact early language skills and language stimulation children receive. Research shows a gap in the number of words, variety of words, and time spent with reading that children from low-income homes hear compared to children from higher-income homes. This language gap can be detected as early as 18 months of age. Strategies used in high-performing, high-poverty schools include effective leadership, engaging parents and the community, having high expectations, focusing on reading, aligning the curriculum, using data, building instructional capacity, and optimizing time
Leaders and Followers: civil society giving voice to the poor
This document provides biographical information about Dr. Thamsanqa Elisha Nxumalo, including his educational and professional background. It then discusses concepts related to leadership, governance, and the role of civil society in giving voice to the poor and holding governments accountable. The document poses the question of whether and how organizations can work with governments while still maintaining the ability to hold them accountable. It outlines an activity for participants to brainstorm ideas on limitations to cooperation between civil society and government.
Social class in_the_united_states
Social class is defined based on wealth, power, and prestige. There are generally considered to be six social classes in the United States ranging from the upper class with incomes over $1,000,000 to the underclass with incomes under $10,000. One's social class impacts many life outcomes such as health, behaviors, marriage, and likelihood of incarceration. While social mobility is possible, it is often limited between generations and for disadvantaged groups such as women and racial minorities.
Usa poverty
Poverty is defined as subpar living conditions compared to the surrounding area and is subject to change over time. The US defines poverty through an annual ratio issued by the Census Bureau that accounts for inflation but has not been substantially updated since the 1960s. It is calculated using USDA and food expenditure data. Critics argue it does not adequately capture factors like assets and costs of living. There are differences between Democratic and Republican views on how to address poverty, with Democrats favoring more government assistance programs and Republicans preferring less government intervention and believing individuals are responsible for their economic situations. Current policies under the Republican-led House propose deep cuts to programs assisting low-income Americans.
Causes of world poverty
The document discusses different types of natural disasters and their impacts. It notes that earthquakes are the deadliest natural disasters, killing many through collapsing buildings and fires. It also states that flooding is the most expensive type of disaster, with flood damage costs reaching hundreds of billions of euros annually. Additionally, at least 500 million people live near active volcanoes, which can bury areas with ash and lava during eruptions.
Closing the funding gap edu363 final
The document discusses the issue of unequal funding between schools in wealthy versus impoverished areas in the United States. It notes that schools in low-income areas often receive less funding than schools in wealthier districts, due to reliance on local property taxes for school funding. This creates inequities where low-income students have fewer resources and opportunities compared to their wealthier peers, perpetuating the cycle of poverty. The document proposes implementing a policy of equal distribution of excess funds between all schools to create more equitable access to education resources.

Social Class In The Us
Social class is defined in different ways by Marx and Weber. Marx saw social class as defined by access to resources and means of production, dividing society into owners and workers. Weber defined social class based on wealth, power, and prestige, seeing a hierarchy with different levels. In the U.S., income and wealth are highly concentrated among the top 20% of the population, while the bottom 20% receive a very small share, a distribution that has changed little over time. Social class has consequences for factors like health, education, politics, and crime, and mobility between classes is limited. Poverty disproportionately impacts certain groups and persisting poverty can span generations.

Global poverty: definitions and developments
Global poverty is a complex issue with varying definitions and measurements. Roughly one third of humanity lives in material poverty concentrated in Africa, Asia, and South America. While definitions of poverty differ and include economic, ethical, and multidimensional measures, global goals aim to alleviate poverty by focusing on direct poverty reduction as well as societal changes like urbanization and climate change. Trends show that those living on less than $1.25 or $2 per day has decreased globally excluding China, though some regions like Sub-Saharan Africa have seen increases in poverty. Exact measurements are difficult and poverty lines may not fully capture the social aspects that are important to individuals' experiences with deprivation.
Global Poverty
Global poverty remains a significant challenge, with over 1 billion people living on less than $1.25 per day according to recent UN estimates. The UN Millennium Development Goals aimed to reduce extreme poverty by half by 2015, but progress has stalled due to the global financial crisis and food insecurity issues. Achieving the MDGs will require increased funding from developed nations, sustainable economic growth in developing regions, and coordinated international efforts to address issues like climate change and pandemic diseases. While the goals may now be difficult to meet by the 2015 deadline, with commitment and action poverty can still be significantly reduced on a global scale.
Poverty (sst project)
This document summarizes information about global poverty, including definitions and statistics. It discusses absolute poverty, relative poverty, and situational poverty. Statistics are provided on the percentage of people living on less than $1.25 and $2 per day globally and in specific countries. Methods for measuring poverty in India are also summarized, along with some of the government programs aimed at poverty alleviation in India.
Poverty policy issues
This document summarizes the history of poverty in America from the industrialization era to modern times. It discusses how poverty is measured officially using poverty thresholds that vary by family size and composition. The document also outlines government assistance programs like Medicaid, Medicare, CHIP, and the Affordable Care Act, as well as initiatives like Promise Zones to help reduce poverty. Maps show higher poverty rates exist in more populated areas and cities.

Implications of Poverty in the United States
This was the result of a semester long group project on poverty and how you can take steps to fight it at the community level.
Obstacles children face
15.8 million American children lived in food-insecure households in 2012, with 20% or more of children in 37 states and DC facing food insecurity. Food insecurity threatens children's nutrition, health, academic achievement and economic prospects. Additionally, 3.9 million American households with children face limited or uncertain access to adequate nutrition. Globally, malnutrition contributes to nearly half of all childhood deaths, and 66 million primary school-aged children in developing nations attend class hungry. Various organizations work to address child hunger through food assistance, nutrition programs, and economic interventions.
Obstacles children face
The document discusses several obstacles that children face, including hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition. Some key points made include:
- 15.8 million American children lived in food-insecure households in 2012.
- Food insecurity threatens children's physical and mental development.
- Malnutrition is linked to nearly half of all childhood deaths globally.
- Charitable organizations like UNICEF and Feeding America are working to address these issues and improve nutrition assistance for children worldwide.
Teen Pregnancy Powerpoint
This document discusses teen pregnancy rates and factors in the US and around the world. In the US, 1/3 of teenage girls become pregnant, and daughters of teen mothers are more likely to also become teen mothers. African American and Hispanic teenagers have higher pregnancy rates than whites. Globally, 16 million teenagers give birth each year. The top 5 countries for teen pregnancy rates are Niger, Chad, Mozambique, Mali, and Liberia. These countries often have high rates of child marriage and lack of sexual education and healthcare access. The document also discusses resources and programs available to support teen mothers.
Group presantation
This document presents a group project on addressing the issue of household food insecurity among Aboriginal families in Toronto. It begins with an introduction by Annie Cheng and is followed by sections led by other group members on questions and findings, an action plan by Chen Ouyang, a presentation of their Facebook page by Kelly Li, and a concluding question section. Statistics are provided showing Aboriginal families experience higher rates of food insecurity in Canada compared to non-Aboriginal families. The group's action plan involves visiting local agencies, creating an awareness campaign on Facebook, and engaging stakeholders to address the issue and support programs that provide nutrition to Aboriginal children and families.
smallfamilynorm.pptx
Small family norms aim to set limits on fertility behavior in communities. Sociologists define a small family norm as implying a pattern of "sons/daughters - two will do" and "second child after 3 years." Larger family sizes negatively impact quality of life by reducing shares of basic needs, food and nutrition for family members as well as fragmenting land holdings and overburdening urban systems. Efforts are made to help people adopt small family norms through family planning services and changing environmental factors like increasing female education and literacy and raising the age of marriage.

Module 8 Presentation Lecture
This document summarizes key topics from Chapter 8 of Foundations of Education, including:
- Schools both reflect and help transmit the values of the surrounding society through the socialization process. The main agents of socialization are schools, families, peer groups, religion, and mass media.
- There are differing views on the purposes of schools, ranging from helping maintain the social order to perpetuating inequality to facilitating social interactions.
- Student populations are diverse in terms of social class, race, ethnicity, abilities, and language skills. Gaps exist in achievement and attainment between groups that are influenced by socioeconomic status and other factors.

Psychological and cultural aspect of pregnancy
This document discusses various psychosocial and cultural aspects of pregnancy, including single motherhood, teenage pregnancy, domestic violence, and prevention of teen pregnancy. It notes that single motherhood can arise due to women being unmarried, widowed, separated, divorced, or acting as a surrogate mother. Teenage pregnancy increases risks for both mother and child. Domestic violence during pregnancy can harm maternal and child health. Risk factors for violence include gender inequality and lack of women's autonomy. Prevention of teen pregnancy involves abstinence, contraceptive use, education, and addressing social determinants of health.
Presentation 2 joanna_dolgoff
This document discusses the rising rates of childhood obesity in the United States. It provides statistics showing obesity rates have tripled for children ages 12-19 and doubled for ages 6-11 between 1963-2004. Being overweight or obese as a child often leads to health issues like diabetes and increases the risk of becoming an obese adult. The causes of childhood obesity are discussed as unhealthy eating patterns with fast food and sugary drinks, lack of physical activity due to more screen time, and changing family dining routines. The document provides tips for parents to promote healthy eating habits and active lifestyles to help prevent and address childhood obesity.
Nutrition for Women health
This document discusses women's health and nutrition in India. It notes that 40% of the Indian population, mostly women, consume less than 80% of their daily energy needs. Every third woman is undernourished and half are anemic. Malnutrition is linked to 60% of child deaths under age 5. Improving women's nutrition can help achieve UN Millennium Development Goals around poverty, child mortality, and maternal health. Several Indian government programs aim to provide supplementary nutrition, healthcare, and education services to women, children, and adolescent girls. Addressing women's nutrition throughout their lives is important for individual and national development.
Poverty by Anjelo Larioza
Poverty is defined as the lack of basic needs like food, shelter, and clothing. It occurs when people cannot afford these necessities. Poverty increases risks such as homelessness and forces children to abandon their education to help financially support the family. Actions to reduce poverty focus on increasing access to basic needs, healthcare, education, and personal income.

Small family norm - Community Health Nursing
Small families have significant benefits for individuals, families, communities, and countries. A small family norm implies limiting family size, which positively impacts quality of life, economic standards, health outcomes, education levels, and use of resources. Large or unplanned families can negatively affect these areas for both parents and children due to issues like early marriage, too frequent pregnancies, and lack of attention and resources per child. Efforts are being made to promote the small family norm through family planning services, raising female literacy, and improving overall social and economic conditions.

Population explosion
India is second largest country according to population
There are two things that affect the population size of the world
Birth rate- the number of live babies born per thousand of the population per year
Death rate- the number of deaths per thousand of the population per year.
When the birth rate is higher than the death rate, more people are being born than are dying, so the population grows. This is called Natural increase
When the death rate is higher than the birth rate it is called the natural decrease.
Causes of Population explosion
Early attainment of puberty in girls.
Early marriage at the age of 15.
Low standard of living.
Illiteracy.
Lack of awareness regarding method of family planning.
Due to tradition & faith of god.
Stages of Population explosion
Countries go through five stages of population growth
High Stationary
Early Expanding
Late Expanding
Low Stationary
Declining
1.High Stationary
Stage 1:
Birth rate is high because there's no use of contraception, and people have lots of children because many infants die.
Death rate is high due to poor healthcare.
Population growth rate is zero.
Population structure- life expectancy is low, so the population is made up of mainly young people
2.Early Expanding
Stage 2:
Birth rate is high because there's no use of contraception
Economy is based on agriculture so people have lots of children to work on farms.
Death rate falls due to improved healthcare.
Population growth rate is very high.
Population structure- life expectancy has increased but there are still more young people than older people
3.Late Expanding
Stage 3:
Birth rate is rapidly falling due to the empowerment of women and better education.
The use of contraception increases
The economy also changes to manufacturing, so fewer children are needed to work on farms.
Death rate falls due to more medical advances.
Population growth rate is high
Population structure- more people are living to be older
4. Low Stationary
Stage 4:
Birth rate is low- people move to urban areas
This means there is less money available for having children.
Death rate is low and fluctuating.
Population growth rate is zero.
Population structure- life expectancy is high, so even more people are living to be older
5.Declining
Birth rate slowly falling
Death rate slow and fluctuating
Population growth rate is negative
Population structure: more older peoples then
