Senior Geography Questions

(1) Figure B has a high birth rate close to 4% and a high death rate close to 4%, natural growth rate = birth rate - death rate, a typical primitive type

Figure C has a large proportion of middle-aged people and a small proportion of young people and older people, in the transitional type (some books do not have the transitional type anymore, the lesson is summarized in the traditional type)

(2) A is the traditional type, and D is the modern type

.

(3) Characteristics:

Figure B High birth rate, high death rate, ground natural growth rate, primitive type - underdeveloped countries, parts of Africa

Figure D Low birth rate, low death rate, low natural growth rate, modern type - -Europe, North America, Oceania

Causes: primitive type: primitive society is limited by the natural environment, the natural environment of the region with superior natural growth rate is high, the poor environment of the region, the country is underdeveloped, medical and health care is not developed, resulting in a low rate of natural growth.

Modern type: productivity level further improved, socio-economic, cultural and educational development, the development of medical and health care, social welfare benefits improved, social security system improved, the traditional concept of childbearing has been greatly changed, the birth rate declined, the population grows slowly

Analysis:

Population growth pattern is divided into three categories

Primitive High birth rate High birth rate, high death rate, low natural growth rate

Traditional High birth rate, low death rate, high natural growth rate - Expansionary

Modern Low birth rate, low death rate, low natural growth rate - Static and Contractionary

Interpretation

Figure A, with a large proportion of children and young people and a small proportion of older people, is typical of the expansionary type, or traditional type

Figure B, with a high birth rate of close to 4% and a high death rate of close to 4%, is typical of the primitive type

Figure C, with a large proportion of middle-aged people, a large proportion of children and young people, and a small proportion of older people, is typical of the transitional type (in some books there is no such thing as the excessive type, and the class is subsumed under the traditional type).

Figure D. The birth rate is low, close to 1%, the death rate is low, slightly above 1%, and the natural growth rate is low, negative. Contraction type within the modern type
