Use both textbook and workbookPopulation Reference Bureau Data Analysis: Complete Data Sheet at a Glance Questions; Then, Compare and Contrast any MDC with a LDC using population statistics. Create population pyramids that reflect your two countries. Then, write a summary analysis of your findings. Include their growth rate and determine what stage of the demographic transition they are in, and hypothesize what may lead them to the next stage. TWO TEDtalks -View at least one TEDtalk on population and one on any topic of your choice and write an analysis of choice for each.Small Group Activity - Each group will be given a topic, create a presentation, and teach the class.The World in the Balance Video Viewing Guide and Activities.Population Project- Choose one – see websiteBe a Global Citizen – go to About and read, then go to Take Action and choose one topic (preferably health); research at least 3 stories on that topic and write a brief summary about what you learned. Please feel free to join and Take Action. If you do take action, include in your summary.Population Reference Bureau Data AnalysisActivity 1: Figure It Out - Use the current World Population Data Sheet to complete the following:1. China and India have the largest populations in the world. Which of these two countries adds more people to its population annually? [Calculate numbers added by applying the rate of natural increase to the population of the country.] How many people does each country add annually? How many people would India add if it shared China's rate of natural increase? 2. What proportion of the world's people live in Africa? In Asia? In North America? In Latin America? In Europe ? In Oceania? What are the projected proportions? Draw a bar chart showing the regional distributions of the world's population for this year, 2030 and 2050. 3. What proportion of the world's people live in less developed countries (LDCs) in the current year? In more developed countries (MDCs)? What proportion of the world's people is projected to live in LDCs in 2030? In 2050? What proportion is projected to live in MDCs in 2030? In 2050? 4. Examine the crude birth rate, crude death rate, and rate of natural increase of any three countries listed on the World Population Data Sheet. Devise a formula to calculate the rate of natural increase based on the relationships observed. Activity 2: Analyzing Data - Use the current World Population Data Sheet to complete the following:1. Choose four countries whose populations are growing at a 1.0 percent rate of natural increase or less (some with negative rates of natural increase are decreasing). 2. Choose four countries whose populations are growing at 3.0 percent or more. Do not include the countries of Western Asia or the Middle East because they represent special cases and will be discussed later. 3. Create a table which includes the following data for each of the above selected countries: infant mortality rate, total fertility rate, population under age 15, life expectancy, percent of urban population, and Gross National Income in purchasing power parity per capita (GNI PPP). Examine the table created above for important differences, and note what you observe for each variable by group. For example: High-Growth Countries Low-Growth Countries Infant Mortality High infant mortality Low infant mortality Total Fertility Population Under 15 Life Expectancy Urban Population Per Capita GNI PPP pare the characteristics for the above groups with countries that have a moderate rate of population growth. 5.Describe how some countries such as Saudi Arabia and some of the oil-rich countries are exceptions to the generalizations you have made about fast-growing countries. Why are they different? 1.Does there appear to be a relationship between the two variables? If so, is the relationship positive of negative? For example, are the countries with the highest rates of one variable the same countries with the highest rates of the other variable? If so, then the relationship is positive. If the countries with the highest rate of one variable also have the lowest rates in another, then the relationship is negative. 2.Discuss whether or not the factors that contribute to the patterns in one variable affect the patterns in another.DBQ – China’s One Child PolicyMeasuring Fertility: Demographic Indicators and Economic Development in China. ................
