Demography: 'So What?' Impact on the Future

1) What skills did you learn in this unit?

a. Ability to accurately graph numerical data.

b. Ability to read/interpret graphs

c. Using statistics to explain the past and predict the future.

2) What is the relevance of Demography to my life and how will it impact my life now and in the future?

We need to know about demography in our lives so that we can be aware of the world around us. We know that the population is increasing at a very steep rate right now, however we have reached peak child meaning by the end of this century, the population of children will stop increasing.

Population growth also has some negatives. For example, more people would need food, so we have to find more efficient ways to distribute food equally to people around the world. The impact on our environment will be very large because more and more people would be using more resources. For example, people might cut down trees because they are trying to invent a new item, but at the same time, they are harming the environment.


It will impact me and other people because we will have more advanced technology. For example, as the population increases, many more people would buy a car, however if a majority of the population had a car, then Global Warming would increase. Instead, we would probably have electric cars. There will also be more people to invent many things, and also many new ideas put out in the world for ore people to explore. We will live longer because the medical care will improve. We might even find more cures to diseases!


This is the World Map in 2100:
