What’s

Why do
you think
that might
happen?
POPULATION PYRAMID
What is true when populations live
longer?
• More elderly means more
people are retired,
therefore, a labor shortage.
• Fewer young people means
fewer people paying taxes;
therefore, difficulty with
social services.
• More elderly means more
people are on social
security; therefore,… uh oh.
POPULATION PYRAMID
What is true when populations are
getting larger?
• Huge population increase
means greater demand on
the food supply.
• More people means more
labor, but it also could mean
more unemployment and
labor abuse.
• More people means greater
demand for resources and
raw materials, which means
more deforestation which
means… uh oh.
Migration
• Between countries:
–Emigrants in home country
–Immigrants in new country
• Reasons to leave:
–War, food shortages, jobs,
education, oppression/
persecution, disaster
Migration
Push or Pull Factor?

• MODIFICATION: We change the environment by draining,
clearing, redirecting or removing. Ex: China’s Three Gorge
Dam, which controls the level of the water.
