2. Population Distribution
• The distribution of population in certain areas
• Factors :1. supply of water 2. fertile soils 3.
raw materials 4. good communications 5.
economy
3. Dependency Ratio
The dependency ratio measures the percentage
of the population who are working and the
percentage of dependent population.
Population age ≤ 15 + population age ≥ 60
Population age 16 – 59
4. NATURAL POPULATION GROWTH
• Growth resulted from birth rate subtracted
from mortality rate. T(N) = B - D (birth rate -
death rate)
5. Total Population Growth
• Resulted by adding natural population growth
and immigration rate and subtracted from
emigration rate. T(N) = (B - D) + (Immigration -
emmigration)
6. Fertility
• Factors to Fertility:
• Young-age marriage 2. depressed for not
having children 3. the philosophy of children
to bring fortune 4. the philosophy of children
to help parents to earn more money
7. Migration
• Is the the movement of people from one area
to another area, one place to another place.
Either temporary of permanent, individual or
group.
11. Negative effects of low-population
density
• Underdevelopment
• Unable to develop the industrial sector of
their economy -> the production output of
factories will be low
• Uneconomical to develop extensive
infrastructure facilities (remain isolated and
underdeveloped)
