Human geography #2
There's a piece of string attached to the door handle. It took Keith days to find his way to the classroom last time so he's taken precautions.
'Today will discuss population demographics and specifically census studies.'
In human populations, biological, social, spatial, ecological and economic aspects of existence are inextricably linked, demanding a holistic approach to their study. Human populations can be studied using theoretical frameworks and methodologies from different traditional disciplines.
Read up on the approaches taken to conducting censuses here.
You should be able to understand the following:
@ To understand sources of population data
@ To assess the validity and worth of population data
@ To understand the underlying concepts of Fertility, Mortality, Migration, Birth rates, death rates and life expectancy
@ Understand how and why demographic data is collected
@ Understand the problems of obtaining accurate data from LEDC’s
Read this source during class. And answer the following for next week referring to one of the census sources.
1. What is a census?
2. What sort of questions does a census ask?
3. Why do governments feel the need to take a census?
4. What are some complaints that could be made about the validity of the census?
