This document discusses several concepts related to population growth and density, including optimum population, overpopulation, underpopulation, and carrying capacity. It provides examples to illustrate these concepts, such as Bangladesh having a high population density but low standard of living due to resource constraints, while the Netherlands and Canada have been able to maintain high standards of living despite having population densities above and below the global average, respectively, through effective use of technology and resources. The document also discusses Malthusian and Boserupian perspectives on the relationship between population growth and food supply.

Demography is the science involved with the study of biological population. It is also general science that can be suited to any kind of dynamic population study involving changes over time or space. It involves the study of the size, structure, and distribution of populations and spatial and or temporal changes in them in response to birth, death, migration and aging.

What Is Demography? Introduction to DemographyVaibhav verma
What Is Demography?
Demography is the scientific study of human populations.
The term itself was coined in 1855 by Achille Guillard, who used it in the title of his book Éléments de Statistique Humaine ou Démographie Comparée.
The word he invented is a combination of two Greek words: demos, which means people, and graphein, which means to write about a particular subject (in this instance, population).
Modern demography is the study of the determinants and consequences of population change and is concerned with virtually everything that influences or can be influenced by these following factors.

The work is a research based forecast of the approaching trends in Organic food and health industry connected to the major prevailing trends of the present.
Overpopulation occurs if the number of people in a group exceeds the carrying capacity of the region occupied by that group. Overpopulation can further be viewed, in a long term perspective, as existing when a population cannot be maintained given the rapid depletion of non-renewable resources or given the degradation of the capacity of the environment to give support to the population. Under population is a situation whereby the size of the population is small in relation to available resources of the country. It is situation where the size of the population is below the equilibrium. Under population is also characterized by a situation where the available resources are capable of supporting a much larger population with no reduction in living standards

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2. Is this country overpopulated or
underpopulated?
This is a photograph of Bogota in Columbia. It has
a population density of 39 per square km.
3. This is a photograph of Singapore –
population density of 7,486 per square km
4. • Confused with HIGH DENSITY.
• Only meaningful when applied to societies
that depend on local resources.
• Difficult to apply the concept of
overpopulation to urban societies.
5. OPTIMUM POPULATION: The level of population which, through
production of goods and services, provides the highest average
standard of living.
OVERPOPULATION: When there are too many people in an area
relative to the resources and the level of technology available.
UNDERPOPULATION: The population cannot fully utilise the
resources available. An increase in population would lead to an
increase in standard of living.
CARRYING CAPACITY: The largest population that a particular
area/environment can support.
EXCESS CAPACITY: When carrying capacity exceeds
population number (per unit area).
POPULATION PRESSURE: When population per unit area
exceeds the carrying capacity.
6. OPTIMUM
POPULATION
Optimum population = the size of population which permits the full
use of the natural resources of an area giving maximum per capita
output and standard of living

7. Bangladesh has a high population density of 1,188 per square km (2013) and a population
growth rate of 1.59%. The GDP per capita of $497 is extremely low. 33% of the population
are under 14 years of age. There is a high incidence of natural disasters – particularly
flooding. Most of the population are farmers. There is a shortage of industry, services and
natural resources. The low level of literacy has led to limited internal innovation and a lack
of capital has meant that the country cannot afford to buy technology from abroad. What do
you think?
8. The Netherlands has a population density of 497 per square kilometre. There are large,
densely populated areas in the Netherlands and it is not well endowed with natural
resources. However, it has been able to use technology to produce high-quality
agricultural products for export to generate income GDP per capita is $45,960 (2013.
What do you think the standard of living is like in the Netherlands compared to
Bangladesh?
9. Canada’s population density is low – 4 per sq km (2013). Population growth rate is 0.77%.
The GDP per capita in 2013 was extremely high at $51,206. Approximately 18% of the
population is aged under 15. There are few natural disasters. Canada has developed
industries, services and many natural resources. Few people are farmers or live in rural
areas. High levels of literacy and wealth allow the development and import of modern
technology. Theoretically, Canada could double its population and still maintain its high
standard of living. What do you think?
10. This market place is ‘underpopulated’…there is plenty of
produce (resources) but no customers (population) to buy it and
therefore the market traders don’t make any money. If there
were more customers (an increase in population) more produce
would be sold (resources exploited) and more money made (an
increase in standard of living).
11. POPULATION DENSITY: 8.7 people per km2
AGE STRUCTURE:
16.4% aged 0-14 years, 10.7% aged 15-24, 45.8% aged 25-54, 13.8% aged
55-64, 13.3% aged 65+ (2014)
Population Growth Rate: -0.03% (Declining)
LIFE EXPECTANCY: 70.16 years
Total Fertility Rate (average number of children born to females between the
ages of 15 and 45: 1.61 *** REPLACEMENT Rate is 2.1
GDP PER CAPITA: = $24,800
14. Malthus the PESSIMIST!
Population size is either
decreased by ‘positive
checks’ (war, famine,
disease) of ‘preventative
checks’ ( latter marriage,
birth control). This
happens in a series of
cycles.
Boserup the OPTIMIST!
These theorists believe that
people are resourceful, and
population growth will
stimulate innovation and
enable food supply to be
increased to meet demand.
15. Draw a CONTINUOUS FLOW
DIAGRAM putting the following labels
in sequence according to Malthusian
theory:
• Increased demand for food
• Economic distress
• Early marriage
• Population growth
• Suffering and delayed marriage
• Food prices drop
• Increase in wealth
• Food prices rise
• Less demand for food
• Population decrease
Why does this diagram illustrate the
pessimistic view of Malthusian theory?
16. MALTHUS BOSERUP
Too simplistic – a shortage of food is just one
possible explanation for starvation, disease
war.
Theory does not take migration into account.
Because communities are not ‘closed’ when
population occurs people often leave.
Malthus theory is based on the assumption of
‘closed’ community. However, except at a
scale the world’s population is not closed and
does not enjoy a fair and even distribution of
supplies.
Certain types of fragile environment cannot
excessive numbers of people. In such cases,
population pressure does not always lead to
technological innovation and development.
Malthus could not have foreseen the advances
farming technology, resource substitution or
sustainable development.
Over-population can lead to unsuitable farming
practices which may degrade the land, e.g.
Desertification.
Rather than starvation, food surpluses exist
agricultural production increases.
Assumes that populations have access to
technological change.
Due to migration it is possible that the degree
population pressure required to lead to
technological innovation will not be reached.
Neither Malthus or Boserup take into account the role of national policies (civil war),
development on irrigated land and uneven land distribution.
Editor's Notes
High density no more suggests overpopulation than low density implies underpopulation e.g. Japan and the Netherlands have average densities in excess of 300 persons per km² and yet are some of the richest countries in the world. Singapore has a density of 6750 persons per km² but has a GDP per capita higher than Spain and New Zealand.
A society based on subsistence agriculture must rely on local resources such as soil, water, wildlife and timber. In the absence of technological change, population growth will put pressure on local resources which may result in declining crop yields, food shortages and land degradation. Such a society could be thought of as overpopulated.
In an urban society population densities have no relationship to local resources. The resources needed to sustain these populations are gathered globally and imported. So their impact on environments and resources is real enough, but too spread out to be clearly defined. The outcome is societies living at extreme high densities with high standards of living and enjoying rising levels of resource use.
Clearly Bangladesh is overpopulated – what will the standard of living be like?
Even though the Netherlands has a lack of natural resources, because the country has a well developed economy it is able to generate the income it needs to buy the resources that it requires.
Compare the population density figures of the 3 examples: Bangladesh 1,123 per sq km, Netherlands 395 per sq km and Canada 3.67 per sq km. Canada has by far the lowest figure. Looking at the figures there is a clear indication that Canada is underpopulated, but why don’t more people live there? Areas of Canada that are inhospitable etc. The key here though is that although Canada is statistically underpopulated this is actually a benefit to the country as it allows there to be a higher standard of living for its inhabitants. It does not need to increase its population in order for living standards to improve. This would not be the case in an LEDC as it wouldn’t have the technology to allow it to maximise the resource potential of the country.
Underpopulation is sometimes defined as when a country’s population has declined too much to support its current economic system. This is the case in somewhere like Russia. Declining population is an issue because it means that the workforce is not being replaced and so there is a loss of tax revenue and a high dependency ratio. Refer back to the case study that students completed when looking at components of population change (example of pro-natalist policy). Does Russia have the characteristics of underpopulation?
(Photo is Lake Baikal, Siberia) Is population decline more of an issue for Russia, rather than underpopulation…or are they the same thing? Are there any other examples of underpopulation?
Population Density 8.7 people per km2
16.4% aged 0-14 years, 10.7% aged 15-24, 45.8% aged 25-54, 13.8% aged 55-64, 13.3% aged 65+ (2014)
PGR = -0.03%
Life expectancy = 70.16 years
TFR = 1.61
GDP = $24,800
These are 4 of the least densely populated countries in Africa. Namibia 2.61, Mauritania 3.20, Botswana 3.55 and Gabon 5.89 (UK is 246). Find out the age structure, PGR, life expectancy, TFR and GDP per capita for each country. Does this information indicate that that these countries are underpopulated? Why/why not?
E.g. Namibia (the least densely populated country in Africa). GDP per capita = $5693, very youthful population (31.7% aged 0-14, 23.1% aged 15-24, 35.9% aged 25-54, 4.8% aged 55-64 and 4.4% aged 65+), life expectancy = 51.85 years. BUT PGR is only 0.67% (the UK is approximately 0.6%) and TFR is 2.25 (only just above replacement level).
Watch video linked from slide (quite a long one!) and get ideas for each of the headings.
Social – conflict (ethnic), lack of housing, pressure on education and medical care
Economic – lack of jobs, pressure on infrastructure, reliance on aid
Environmental – increased pollution, pressure on resources, desertification due to pressure to farm on marginal land, deforestation
Political – unstable governments, pressure to solve problems can lead to extreme policies
Article on moodle to go with this (Geog Review).
Once the negative checks kick in a population falls back down to a level that can be sustained by food production the cycle starts again (early marriage to replace those that died in the famine). This is why it is PESSIMISTIC.
