Chapter 3: Canada's Population in a Global Context

Assumes the widespread fertility declines in a society occur in a context of rising socioeconomic opportunities, coupled with sustained high rates of natural increase due to declining death rates (in infancy and childhood)

________ rise in fertility = every case of demographic transition.

New socioeconomic opportunities in a context of industrialization and urbanization made large families less desirable than before.

Low fertility, high life expectancy, low rates of natural increase, high levels of demographic aging.

Computational exercise intended to determine a future populations size and age- sex distribution.

Emphasize the role played by new contraceptive technologies and new ideas emphasizing small families.

The amount of unavoidable growth that is built into the current age structure of the population.

7.238 billion

The number of years it would take for the population to double if its current rate of growth were to remain unchanged

Assumes the widespread fertility declines in a society occur in a context of rising socioeconomic opportunities, coupled with sustained high rates of natural increase due to declining death rates (in infancy and childhood)

Countries that have recently completed or are approaching the end of demographic transition

Countries where the demographic transition has only recently begun

Emphasize the role played by new contraceptive technologies and new ideas emphasizing small families

New socioeconomic opportunities in a context of industrialization and urbanization made large families less desirable than before

Expected to continue declining steadily

Low fertility, high life expectancy, low rates of natural increase, high levels of demographic aging

Computational exercise intended to determine a future populations size and age-sex distribution
