This document discusses various ways to show population structure and change, including population pyramids. It asks the reader to describe youthful and aging populations and the problems they may cause. It also mentions the demographic transition model and overpopulation and underpopulation, asking the reader to remember the problems associated with each. Finally, it lists several case studies on population for the reader to make revision notes on, including Japan, Brazil, the UK, China, and Singapore.

1. POPULATION STRUCTURE How can you show population structure?

2. What can we use to show population change? Population pyramids You could get asked a question on these in your exam- you will not be expected to draw your own. Population change

3. Population pyramids Can you describe these?

5. Youthful and ageing population Youthful Lots of people under 16 What problems would this cause? Ageing A large percentage of people over 60 What problems would this cause?

7. MAP FROM MEMORY Group table after round one

8. Demographic transition model

9. Explain why Stage 1 Stage 3 Pop’n change Death Rate Birth rate Stage 4 Stage 2

12. What would the population pyramid look like?

13. Over and under population Over and under population- what does it actually mean? Do you remember what the problems with overpopulation and underpopulation are?

15. Case studies on population Japan – MEDC population distribution (p168-9 PPT) Brazil – LEDC population distribution (p170-1 & in your yellow booklet) UK – EU case study pop’n distribution (yellow booklet) China – Population control policy (1 child policy, p138 KEY Geog text book) Singapore – Underpopulation (p178 PPT) China – Overpopulation (p179 PPT) Your task is to now make revision notes / mind maps / posters on the case studies
