2Birth rate

8Population Growth Rate
N.I.R. + N.M.R/1000
9Population Doubling Time
Determines when a population will double in size, 70/Population growth rate = estimate number of years it'll take for population to double in size.
10Population Pyramids
Shows population by age and sex, males on left females on right, shows percentage or population in millions of people in each age group, X axis is population percentage, Y axis shows age groups
11How to look at dependency Ratio
High dependency ratio, consider the impact/size/percentage of 0-14 and 65+, If it is large, then there is a high dependency ratio
12Canadas birth rate

13Canada’s Death Rate
8 per 1000 in 2021
14Canada’s Net Migration Rate

15Fertility rate
average number of children that would be born to a woman over her lifetime
16Canada’s fertility rate
1.4 children
17Mother’s mean age at first birth
29.2
18Definition of dependency Ratio
The assumption is that children and older adults do not work and must be supported is called dependency ratio
19Name the 5 data categories in the demographic transition model
Birth rate, death rate, natural increase, reasons for changes in birth rate, reasons for changes in death rate
20What is population density
How crowded a place is
21How is population density measured
Number of people per square km
22How do you calculate population density
Population / area (km2)
23What is Canada’s population density?
3.7 people per km2
24Distribution
The arrangement or spread of people living in an area

Ontario, Quebec, and BC
32Reasons why people live in those areas
Job opportunities, industrialization, diversity
33Which areas do very few people live
Nunavut and northern parts of the provinces
34Why do people settle in central and northern canada?
Inuit traditions and resource extraction (ring of fire)
35Why is the southern half of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba a popular place to live
Resources, Oil, gas, and minerals, crops (fertile soil), Climate, Continential climate, and there are major cities
36Why do the areas close to the Great Lakes have so many large cities
More industries because of the water in modern day and also because of the settlers
