POPULATION GROWTH AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
FACTORTS AFFECTING POPULATION GROWTH
2. Urbanization of the population
The concentration of communities has accelerated the growth of populations. 1800 years ago there were 750 cities with more than 5000 inhabitants and 45 with more than 100000 inhabitants
3. Availability of resources
One of the most determinant factors in population growth is the availability of food and energy resources to maintain the dynamics of growth
1. Increase in Health sector
The growing number of older people who are now in existence thanks to medical and social advances increase the world population. Good health sector also affect the fertility and mortality rate.
4. Political decisons
The political initiatives of the countries can influence the population growth that occurs in their territories.
These decisions can range from the reception of immigrants to the control of the amount of offspring that a person can have
5.Large-scale armed conflicts
Events such as the first and Second World War , The Middle East wars and political purges in authoritarian regimes have come to affect population growth at local and global levels
6. Weather
In ancient human populations the climate was an important factor of population control. Currently the effect of climate is not so obvious.
However, processes such as climate change are a determining factor in the future of population growth
7.Economy
Economic dynamics between different countries largely define population growth in the regions.
Currently, while developed countries have low population growth, developing countries have high rates of population growth
8. Natural disasters and diseases
Large-scale natural phenomena such as droughts or large earthquakes affect the dynamics of population growth at local levels.
Diseases and Epidemics On a large scale have influenced global population growth
PROBLEMS
4. Unemployment
• Too many competitions with limited job opportunities. • End up, underemployed working in jobs way below their educational qualifications and attainment.
3. Housing Problem
• Specially in crowded area, people build their house in urban area (migration from rural)
6. Health Problem
• Malnutrition due to lack of food and nutrients. • Unsanitary surroundings due to indiscriminate garbage disposal – poor hygiene and poor health
2. Water Shortage
• Population increase, naturally more water needed
• In a place where the population is big so water resources are problem
7. Garbage Problem
• Population rapid grow – rotting garbage gives off poisonous gas called methane- This adds to air pollution. • Uses of plasctic bag – clogging in esteros and canals contribute to flood
1. Food Shortage
• Population increases, more food supply is needed. • Lead to food shortage – not enough to sustain the needs of the people • Lead to panic buying and hoarding – lead to inflation
8. Higeher dependency burden
• Rapidly growing pop is the characteristics of young age structures. • Means low ration of workers to support a high ratio of dependents (children and elderly)
5. Peace and order
• Due to big population, unemployment, hunger, homelessness, sickness and frustrations, many people resot to illegal and criminal acts just to survive. • Lead to rise in criminality that endangers the peace and security of the country
INTRODUCTION
Definition
: Population refers to the total number of living human beings occupying a particular geographical area, whose data can be gathered and analyzed
Average annual population growth rate may be positive or negative, due to a surplus (or deficit) of births over deaths, and the balance of migrants entering and leaving a country
Rapid population growth rates will impact economic growth, development and the environment negatively.
POPULATION BY:
Age Structure by Gender
The Malaysian population can be categorized into three main age groups: = less than 15 years old
= 15 to 64 years old
= More than 64 years old
changes in the age structure of the population affect the economy
The transition of the Malaysian age structure is moving towards the ageing population
Ethnic Groups and Regions
Ethnicity refers to a sub-societal group that shares a common descent and cultural background.
The Malays—the highest fertility rate with a lower mean age of marriage and the highest young age dependency.
The Chinese—the lowest fertility rate with a higher mean age of marriage and the highest old age dependency.
ADVANTAGES RAPID POPULATION GROWTH
2. More Skilled workers
Increase in population leads to higher demand on education. Will produce more skilled and educated labor for industry and economy activities
3. Better use abundant natural resources
Increase in population means increase in FoP consumption. Leads to efficiently of FoP. no wasteful and fully utilize specially labor.
1. Larger domestic market
Population increase leads to higher demand and production force to increase. Advantages to the AD and higher national income
4. Strengthened security of the country
