Demographic Predictions Discussion Question
Demographic Predictions Discussion Question
only do these three questions
1.What are the key issues (environmental, resource, social, and/or governmental) that are
influencing the population patterns for China and Japan? Would a demographer in 1975 have
been able to make accurate predictions for 2016? (8 points)
2. What environmental, resource, and public policies are influencing the population pyramid
patterns for Kenya and the United States? (8 points)
3. Discuss the data in
Table 3. Energy Use and Population
(from the worksheet).
How does
the data presented in the table suggest that the problem of over-population involves more
than a simple increase in the number of people? What else, besides the size of the population
should be considered when discussing resource use? How can the factors and changes noted
be expected to affect malnutrition and hunger? (9 points)
