Human Population – Growth & Age Structure (4.2)

Activator:What can belearned from

this graphabout Kenya?

What event caused human population’s lag phase to end?

Human Population Growth Rate

The human population experienced exponential growth as humans benefitted from the Industrial Revolution, improved food production, improved health care, & disease cure/prevention

What trend does this graph reveal about human population growth?

Why do you think this is?

Human Population Growth Rate Cont’d Although the

human population is still growing, the rate of its growth has slowed.

Diseases like AIDS & also voluntary population control have contributed to this slowing.

Human populationgrowth is not the same in all countries.

Zero population growth (ZPG) occurs when the birthrate equals the death rate.

Population Ecology

Trends in Human Population Growth Cont’d

The age structure eventually should be more balanced with numbers at pre-reproductive, reproductive, and post-reproductive ages being approximately equal.

Age Structure

Population Ecology

A population’s age structure is the number of males and females in each of three age groups:pre-reproductive stage, reproductive stage, and post-reproductive stage.

specific human population groups

by reading this graph?

Human Carrying Capacity

Population Ecology

Scientists are concerned about the human population reaching or exceeding the carrying capacity.

An important factor is the amount of resources from the biosphere that are used by each person.
