IBDP Geography: Changing Population

What is urbanisation?

• The movement of people from rural to urban areas, usually rapidly
• An increase in people living in rural areas
• The moment of people from one place to another
• The process of cities expanding into rural areas

What is a push factor leading to migration?

• Poverty
• More job opportunities
• Closer to family and friends
• Better services

What is a pull factor?

• Something that draws people into another area
• Something that draws people from an area
• A cart that needs pulling
• The movement of people from one area to another

What is population density?

• A measure of people per metre
• The rate of death minus the rate of births
• A measure of people per square kilometre
• A measure of how many people live in one house

How do I calculate natural population increase?

• Births minus deaths, divided by 10

• Deaths minus births

• Deaths plus births

• Births multiplied by deaths

To be a Megacity, the population has to be above

• 8 million
• 11 million
• 15 million
• 10 million

Why has the population been able to grow so quickly in such a short period of time?

• Doctors have developed easier and safer ways to have babies
• People needed more help to work their farms so they had more children
• Because people stayed in one place and only moved when crowded out
• Because of medical care, clean water and better access to nutritious food
