Instructions

Choose a day and a time for Geography.

For example: Tuesday 9:00 – 9: 40 am.

Did you choose the day and time? If yes ; If no hurry because is running out.

Read through the PowerPoint slide and complete task at the end of each weeks, lesson PowerPoint, in your note book.

Activity 1

Study the map in the hyperlink and or if you have your Geography Save Buk turn to page 259 for the map of Australia.

1. Where is most of Australia’s population?

2. Why are there less people living inland of

of Australia? List 3 reasons and explain.

3. What factors influence Australia’s

population distribution?

WEEK 1 LESSON 2UNIT 11.4 POPULATION STUDIESTOPIC 2: POPULATION TRENDS

IN PNG

SUBTOPIC: PNG DEMOGRAPHIC TRANSITION STAGE 1 AND 2

TAlova

LESSON 2LEARNING OUTCOMES

1. Explain Papua New Guinea’s demographic transitional stage 1.

2. Identify factors that contributed to Papua New Guinea’s population change.

TAlova

DEMOGRAPHIC TRANSITION IN PNG – Stage 1

Very little is known for PNG’s population transition except of the following facts.

• PNG was in Stage 1 around 1946

• Overall population growth was very slow

• Growth of population was faster in some places than in others.

• Differences in population growth were caused by differences in deaths among children, infants and diet.

TAlova

CAUSES OF LOW POPULATION GROWTH IN PRE –COLONIAL PNG (Stage 1 Demographic Transition)

i. Poor nutrition – unbalanced dietii. Low fertilityiii. Infectious diseases (TB, pneumonia, Septicaemia, etc.)iv. Malaria (endemic – always present and epidemic – not always

present)v. Fighting & accidental injuriesvi. Epidemic (Smallpox & Bacillary dysentery) war (Pacific)

Week 2 Lesson 1 to 3

TAlova

Learning Outcome

1. Identify factors that contributed to PNG’s population rapid increase.

2. Discuss PNG’s demographic transition stage 2.

3. Interpret population data or figures in tables and graphs.

4. Compare PNG’s population increase measures to its neighbours.

TAlova

DEMOGRAPHIC TRANSTION IN PNG Stage 2

• Death rates fall due to improvement of medical services

• BR (Birth Rate) unchanged (i.e. continue to increase)

• DR (Death Rate) decrease, therefore population begin to increase

In 1946

Medical service few

Patterns of disease (which disease killed who, where & when) was unknown

Medical administration centralised in POM

Dr John Gunther – Director of Public Health

“The maximum fight for disease must take place in the village”TAlova

Improvement in Medical Services1. Literate villages were trained to provide basic health care in

villages, as aid post orderlies (APOs)

2. Aid posts were strategically located in order to provide 1 APO per 1000 villages

3. European doctors who supervised health centres & hospitals were required to be “patrolling” & “to travel by foot”, by canoe, by launch or y aircraft to supervise APOs & provide treatment

4. 1947 – first batch of high school graduates sent to Fiji to be trained as doctors (1960 Dr Reuben Taureka 1st qualified PNG medical Doctor)

5. Training of maternal & child health nurses began in 1950

TAlova

NEW MEDICINES

1. APOs provided with anti malaria medicine – Atebrin, chloroquin, penicillin and others.

2. Antibiotics brought into the villages to treat

- pneumonia

- Septicemia

- & most common causes of diseases & deaths in PNG

Outcome

– steady fall in infant mortality

- Increase in life expectancy at birth

TAlova

Activity – page 272 & 2731. State some reasons why PNG remains where it is on the demographic transition stages?

2. How can population decline in PNG?
