Agricultural destiny

• The ratio of the number of farmers to the amount of arable land

• The number of people under age 15 and over age 64 compared to the number of people active in the labor force

• The total number of deaths in a year among infants under one year of age for every 1,000 live births in a society.

• annual number of deaths of women from pregnancy-related causes per 100,000 live births

Medical Revolution

• The percentage growth of a population in a year, computed as the crude birth rate minus the crude death rate.

• Medical technology invented in Europe and North America that is diffused to the poorer countries of Latin America, Asia, and Africa. Improved medical practices have eliminated many of the traditional causes of death in poorer countries and enabled more people to live longer and healthier lives.

• A bar graph that represents the distribution of population by age and sex

• A decline of the total fertility rate to the point where the natural increase rate equals zero.

Arithmetic destiny

• The number of people under age 15 and over age 64 compared to the number of people active in the labor force

• The total number of people divided by the total land area.

• The number of years needed to double a population, assuming a constant rate of natural increase.

• A series of improvements in industrial technology that transformed the process of manufacturing goods.

Census

• Disease that occurs over a wide geographic area and affects a very high proportion of the population.

• A complete enumeration of a population.

• The number of males per 100 females in the population.

• The scientific study of population characteristics.

Crude Birth Rate (CBR)

• The total number of live births in a year for every 1,000 people alive in the society.

• The process of change in a society's population from a condition of high crude birth and death rates and low rate of natural increase to a condition of low crude birth and death rates, low rate of natural increase, and a higher total population.

• The scientific study of population characteristics.

• The number of years needed to double a population, assuming a constant rate of natural increase.

Demographic transition

• The process of change in a society's population from a condition of high crude birth and death rates and low rate of natural increase to a condition of low crude birth and death rates, low rate of natural increase, and a higher total population.

• The number of people under age 15 and over age 64 compared to the number of people active in the labor force

• The number of years needed to double a population, assuming a constant rate of natural increase.

• the number of working-age people (15-64) divided by the number of persons 65 and older

Demography

• The scientific study of population characteristics.

• The number of people under age 15 and over age 64 compared to the number of people active in the labor force

• The number of years needed to double a population, assuming a constant rate of natural increase.

• The process of change in the distinctive causes of death in each stage of the demographic transition

Dependency ratio

• The number of people under age 15 and over age 64 compared to the number of people active in the labor force

• The number of years needed to double a population, assuming a constant rate of natural increase.

• the number of working-age people (15-64) divided by the number of persons 65 and older

• The portion of Earth's surface occupied by permanent human settlement.

Doubling time

• The number of years needed to double a population, assuming a constant rate of natural increase.

• The portion of Earth's surface occupied by permanent human settlement.

• The process of change in the distinctive causes of death in each stage of the demographic transition
