Populations Pyramids, Videos, and Graphs

Today we reviewed populations pyramids AGAIN.  We also talked about their relativity to industrialism.

First we watched a TED.ed video that talked about the kind of information that you can gather from population pyramids and how they help to for see the population in the future.  It also briefly talked about how how pre, current, and post industrialized nations pyramids are effected differently because of industrialism.  Countries go through stages of development which also effects the pyramids.

  • Demographic Transition- starts as a pre-industrial economy and then moves into an industrial economy and then a postindustrial economy.
  • Industrialization- countries that have started producing goods through mass production in factories  and work at a faster rate.

The effects of industrialism is people moving out of rural areas in to urban areas.  Also, the total fertility rate is lower because more women get jobs and don't have time to have kids.  Another thing that happens is the mortality rate decrease because health care is increased and people are working hard and staying healthy.
