1. Human Resources
The resources that exist in a country are the gift of
nature. human being are considered a important and
integral part of the ecosystem. They are endowed with
intelligence , thinking and creative skills, and are the
biggest and most valuable resource
2. UNDP(UNITED NATIONS
DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME
• In 1990has defined human development as
the process of enlarging people’s choice. Now
there is a separate department of the india
government called as HRD ( human resource
development) which looks after the education
of the people in india
3. DISTRIBUTION OF POPULATION
• Population distribution is the spread of
people across the world, i.e. where do people
live. Population density is the number of
people living in a particular area – usually 1
square mile or 1 square kilometre – and can
be written as total population/land area
5. • At present , the world’s has crossed a seven
billion mark . China is the most populous
country . India & china account for 37% of the
world’s population . By and large ,60% of the
world’s population is living in asia 15% in
africa, 13.5% america, 11% in europe and
0.5% in oceania.
6. WORLD:LAND MAN ROTIO
• man-land ratio is the Population density of a region . it is a
measurement of population per unit area or unit volume.
• Man is a creature of the soil, a child of nature; no matter how
earnestly he may try to escape from the land, in the last reckoning
he is certain to fail. "Dust you are and to dust shall you return" is
literally true of all mankind. The basic struggle of man was, and is,
and ever shall be, for land. The first social associations of primitive
human beings were for the purpose of winning these land
struggles. The land-man ratio underlies all social civilization.
Man's intelligence, by means of the arts and sciences, increased the
land yield; at the same time the natural increase in offspring was
somewhat brought under control, and thus was provided the
sustenance and leisure to build a cultural civilization.
7. FACTORS AFFECTING DISTRIBUTION OF
POPULATION
• People want to settle in area where food water and land are easily available
• Although one single factors may not determine population distribution but
collectively theyplay a deciding role in it all these factors can be grouped into
physical factors & economic factors
PHYSICAL FACTORS
1- RELIEF
2- CLIMATE
3- SOIL AND WATER
4- VEGETATION
ECONOMIC FACTORS
1- MINERALS
2- INDUSTRIES
3- DEVELOPED MEANS OF TRANSPORT
4- GOVERNMENT POLICIES
8. PHYSICAL FACTORS
• Climate is as important as terrain in influencing population. Of all
the climatic factors, twin elements of rainfall and temperature play
the most important role in determining the population of an area.
Man cannot go beyond the limits set by climate.
• Extremes of climate discourage the concentration of population.
Such climates include the too cold climate of Himalayas, and the
too hot and dry climate of the Thar Desert. A moderate climate, on
the other hand, is favourable for population.
• Soil is an important factor in determining the density of population
in an overwhelmingly agricultural country like India. Fertile soil
supports higher population density while infertile soil leads to low
density. In the northern plain of India, the soil is regularly enriched
by annual floods of the great rivers like the Indus, the Ganga and
the Brahmaputra and their tributaries.
9. • Vegetation- equatorial forests are dense, and inaccessible ,as compared to
monsoon and coniferous forests which are accessible
• Economics factors
• Minerals act as great source of attraction for people from different areas,
which results in higher density of population. The higher population
densities in the Chhota Nagpur Plateau of Jharkhand and in the adjoining
areas of Orissa are largely due to the availability of minerals.
• Industrial growth offers massive employment opportunities and acts as a
great magnet to attract people, particularly from the neighbouring areas.
This results in higher population density. Industrial areas are almost
invariably associated with areas of high population densities.
• Transport Growth of population is directly proportional to the
development of transport facilities. The northern plain of India has a
dense network of transport routes and is densely populated region. The
peninsular plateau has moderate network oftransport route and is
moderately populated area. The Himalayan region badly lacks transport
facilities and is scarcely populated.
10. • Government policies – political unrest in a region
or discriminatory policies of a government
against a group of people have made million of
refugees .
• In recent years, the persian gulf war, ethnic
conficts in ethopi and sri lanka the break up of
soviet union into fifteen independent nation are
some of the which show how political unrest can
lead to migration and re-distribution of
population
11. GROWTH OF POPULATION
• In biology, population growth is the increase in the number of individuals
in a population. Global human population growth amounts to around 75
million annually, or 1.1% per year. The global population has grown from 1
billion in 1800 to 7 billion in 2012.
• An increase in the number of people that reside in a country, state, county,
or city. To determine whether there has been population growth, the
following formula is used: (birth rate + immigration) - (death
rate + emigration). Businesses and governmental bodies use
this information to make determinations about investing in
certain communities or regions.
The state had undergone a lot of population growth over the last year and
I knew it would have an impact on their econom
• You need to be able to predict the population growth in your area and
figure out how to take advantage of it.
