Christy tells the women that she works with the Ministry of Health. Why might the government want to slow population growth and encourage family planning? The government might slow population and encourage family planning because, of several reasons such us: 1 - Limited access to family planning services and education about contraception .Contraception and other family planning methods may not be culturally or religiously acceptable. 2 - Children are a valuable source of employment and income for the family.…
The height of birthrates in Colonial America occurred from the 1740s to the early 1760s, and they began to decline during the mid-1760’s. According to Susan Klepp’s book Revolutionary Conceptions, at the dawn of the American Revolution, and through the early 19th century, the development of new attitudes and the desire to govern family size led them towards substantial control over definitions of fertility, motherhood and family. During the first 60 years of the Eighteenth Century, Colonial American women were more than objects of sexual desire, they were vital to the populating the colonies, and for production of offspring to work the land of the settlers. In Colonial America, a women’s fertility was celebrated as much as the fertility of the fields they farmed.…
Their viewpoint is a more optimistic about our future. They believe the population growth occurs in four demographic transition stages. Stage one is considered a stable population consisting if births and deaths balancing out. Stage 2 means population is growing rapidly, where births outnumber deaths. Stage three is when the population will stabilize and in the fourth stage shrinking begins.…
The book as a whole covers all gamut of environment and development using three themes of sound science, suitability and stewardship. The chapter 9 deals with the population and development. Chapter starts with a short story about Thailand’s successful experiment with a population control measuring using education, health care and modernization. This case study is a good example that proves economic development is not always necessary to stabilize the population growth. The chapter then provides the some basic concepts in demography such as demographic transition, how countries used different ways to achieve demographic transition in a succinct format.…
Cohen and Wertheimer claim that the main issues contributing to the challenges of Jewish continuity are intermarriage, falling birthrates, and the differences between the Jewish denominations. According to the Pew survey, around 2,100,000 American people who are of a Jewish parent who has intermarried do not identify as Jewish. Another issue is the falling birthrates. A major component of this is the fact that any people are “coupling off” during or after prime childbearing years. For non-Orthodox Jews, the fertility rate is about 1.7 children, while the replacement rate is 2.1.…
America is a country of constant change; it is the melting pot of the world. American families, culture, and government have been changing drastically over the last 20 years. America has transitioned from a society that has four to eight kids per family to having one to two kids per family. The decline in birth rates are redefining America and creating unforeseen consequences. Declining birthrates are creating shifts in social programs, political structures, and values of everyday Americans.…
I will transform knowledge that I have gained from this presentation in the future when tending to the post-partum population by using the BUMBLEHE acronym to guide my assessment and to maintain patients safety. Although I’ve never worked in maternity before, I’m aware that hemorrhage and shock are common in postpartum complication that often needs ongoing nursing assessment. And by using some of the clinical manifestations and interventions provided in this presentation, it will further help in assisting me to make better clinical decision. I will also use this presentation in helping me to maintain patient safety by making sure during post-partum period that patients’ vital signs are checked often as means to prevent or help identify any…
When comparing the population pyramids for Malawi from 1977 (earliest) to 2050 it is seen that the country had a high fertility, low life expectancy, and high mortality rate in 1977. Moving into the next period (1990), fertility and mortality remain relatively high, and life expectancy is seen to gradually be increasing as more people are surviving to the older age groups. Which is seen, as most of the population resides at the base of the pyramid, the population is young, and very few of the children and infants live to old age. While the current population pyramid displays high fertility but declining mortality. It is also observed that the values in the pyramid shift, the bulk of the population is still towards the bottom, however the discrepancy…
The data present the figures of the 1900-2050 resident distribution in the rural, suburban and urban areas of the northwest. From 1900, the rural area has the highest number of people and the lowest is in the suburban but as the years would be passing by it would slowly continue declining until 2050. And the drastic increase in occupants will be in the suburban areas. Every 50 years, the number of people will grow in that particular location. Furthermore the urban area is the least changed in population, it consistently maintaining at the middle between the rural and suburban area from the period of 1900 to 2050.…
The crude birth rate is the number of annual amount of live births per thousand people. The average number of of children that would be born to each women (per 1,000) in a society if they passed through the childbearing years bearing children is the total fertility rate. Lastly, the replacement-level fertility rate is a total fertility rate of about 2.1, that stabilizes the population. The crude birth rate and the fertility rate show how fast our population may be growing.…
Similarly, Togo’s Fertility can be analyzed through studying different measurements taken from certain groups of the population throughout different points in time. The crude birth rate is probably the simplest and most common measurement of fertility and as of the year 2015, Togo maintained a rate of 38 births per 1,000 of the population per year. Additionally, the total fertility rate was most recently (2015) projected at 4.8, however, that projection only shows what would happen if the childbearing conditions remained exactly the same. In 2013, the age specific birth rate for adolescent fertility was 53 births per 1,000 women ages 15-19 years old.…
There is a lack of birth control, education and hygiene and people usually have large families. Almost no countries are still in this phase. This stage usually refers to either the past such as early civilizations or Today’s Amazonian tribes. In stage 2, often called the industrialization period, death rates decrease significantly. Birth rates decrease as well, just not nearly…
Epidemic diseases are a direct effect from unhealthy drinking water; for example, cholera and diarrhea are diseases directly linked to poor public health. Also, the constant struggle to provide proper housing as the population continues to increase. In some places “women and children are forced to live in the poorest community where they are open to exploitation and abuse.” (Population Growth…). Soon enough, urban areas will be filled with more of the world’s population than ever before.…
Abstract Overpopulation is an unwanted condition where the number of existing individuals population exceeds earth capacity. Overpopulation is caused by several factors. Decline in death rate, better medical facilities, more hands in fighting Poverty, technological progress in fertility treatment, immigration, lack of family planning are few of the causes which results in overpopulation. Growing population with each coming year has affected humanity in many ways. One of these has been loss of fresh water, another direct affect of this has been decreased life expectancy and depletion of natural resources.…
Introduction Demography is the scientific study of human populations, including their sizes, compositions, distributions, densities, growth and other characteristics as well as the causes and consequences of changes in those factors. Demographic analysis is an important tool that explains sociological phenomena such as expanding population which can result in competition of resources such as food, land, access to trade routes among others. Demography largely relies on large data sets over long periods of time. Data sets that are primarily derived from censuses and registration statistics, that is to say., birth, death, marriage registrations. For example Uganda carries out census every after 10 years which enables to compile trends in birth and death rates.…
