This document discusses key concepts relating to population geography, including:
1) Population growth has increased dramatically over time, from 250 million people in 0 AD to over 6 billion in 1998.
2) Population is concentrated in regions like East Asia, South Asia, Europe, and North America, while sparsely populated areas include dry lands, wet lands, high lands, and cold lands.
3) Demographic transition refers to the change in population characteristics as a country develops, typically moving from high birth/death rates to low birth/death rates.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

3. Population Terms
Demography - the study of population
characteristics
Overpopulation- when the available
resources cannot support the
number of people
Density - How many? The total
number of people
4. Population Growth
0 AD 250 Million People
1803 AD 1 Billion People
1903 AD 1.6 Billion People
1950 AD 3.0 Billion People
1987 AD 5.0 Billion People
1998 AD 6.0 Billion People
16. Density
Arithmetic Density: The total number
of people divided by the total land area.
Physiological Density: The number of
people per unit of area of
arable land, which is land suitable for
agriculture.
Agricultural Density: The number of
farmers to the total amount of land
suitable for agriculture.
18. Crude Birth Rate : The total number of live births in a
year for every 1,000 people alive in the society.
19. Crude Death Rate : The total number of
deaths in a year for every 1,000 people alive in
the society.
20. Natural Increase: The percentage growth of a
population in a year, computed as the crude birth
rate minus the crude death rate.
21. Population Characteristics
Crude Birth Rate : The total number of live
births in a year for every 1,000 people
alive in the society.
Crude Death Rate : The total number of
deaths in a year for every 1,000 people
alive in the society.
Natural Increase: The percentage growth of
a population in a year, computed as the
crude birth rate minus the crude death
rate.
22.
23. Population Characteristics
Fertility Rate: The average number of
children a woman will have throughout
her childbearing years.
Doubling Time: The number of years
needed to double a population,
assuming a constant rate of natural
increase.
24. Infant Mortality Rate: - the number of deaths of
children under the age of 1, per thousand of
the general population.
25. Population Characteristics
Life Expectancy : The average number of years
an individual can be expected to live, given
current social, economic, and medical
conditions.
Population under the age of 15 - usually
shown as a percentage of the total population
of a country - dependency ages
Population over the age of 65 - usually shown
as a percentage of the population.
dependency age
26. Life Expectancy : The average number of years an
individual can be expected to live, given current
social, economic, and medical conditions.
27. Population under the age of 15 - usually shown as
a percentage of the total population of a country -
dependency age is 0-15
29. Population Pyramids
Inverted bar graphs that show a wide
population base (younger population) with a
narrow top (older population).
Population Pyramids show:
– Age Distributions
– Dependency Ratios of under 15 and over 65
– Sex Ratio - Male vs. Female
37. Demographic Transition - Stage 1
Demographic Transition - the change
in population characteristics of a
country to reflect medical technology or
economic and social development.
Crude Birth Rate: High 40-50 / 1,000
Crude Death Rate: High 40-50 / 1,000
Natural Increase Rate: None 0 / 1,000
Today, no country in the world is in Stage 1.
39. Demographic Transition - Stage 2
As medical technology is introduced, a
population lives longer as the death rate
is lower from the rates of stage one.
Crude Birth Rate: High 40+ / 1,000
Crude Death Rate: Lower 15 / 1,000
Natural Increase Rate: Very High 25+/1,000
40.
41. Demographic Transition - Stage 3
As the wealth and education of a
country increases, social norms, and
use of contraception dictate the birth of
fewer children per woman.
Crude Birth Rate: Lower 20 / 1,000
Crude Death Rate: Low 10 / 1,000
Natural Increase Rate: Low 10 / 1000
42.
43. Demographic Transition - Stage 4
As the final stage in the transition of
population characteristics, the fourth
stage sees the population increase rate
again at 0. This stage reflects a highly
industrialized, educated society.
Crude Birth Rate: Low 10 / 1,000
Crude Death Rate: Low 10 / 1,000
Natural Increase Rate: None 0 / 1,000
