Case 1
Read the following paragraph and give the answers.
East Asia, particularly China and Japan, experiences high population density due to a combination of
favourable climate, extensive economic opportunities, and historical development of densely populated
urban areas. In contrast, Australia has a low population density primarily because of its harsh climate, vast
arid regions, and relatively small population concentrated in coastal cities. The differences in climate,
economic opportunities, and historical development have led to these contrasting population densities.
1.What is population density? 1
2.What are the reasons behind the high population density in East Asia? 1
3.Short listed the factors for low population density in Australia. 2
Case 2
Read the following paragraph and give the answers.
Urbanisation significantly impacts global population distribution by concentrating populations in urban
areas due to economic opportunities, better services, and infrastructure. This trend leads to higher
population densities in cities and suburban areas while rural areas may see population decline. The
implications for future growth include increased pressure on urban infrastructure, environmental
challenges, and the need for sustainable development practices to manage the growing urban populations
effectively.
A. Why are the people migrating? 2
B. Discuss the impact of urbanisation on global population distribution. 2
C. What are the implications of urbanisation for future growth? 2
Case 3
The main four stages of demographic transition model are:
Pre-Transition: High birth and death rates, leading to a stable population.
Early Transition: Death rates decline due to improvements in healthcare and sanitation, while birth rates
remain high, causing rapid population growth.
Late Transition: Birth rates start to decline, leading to a slower rate of population growth.
Post-Transition: Both birth and death rates are low, resulting in a stable or slowly growing population.
Migration affects population change by increasing or decreasing the number of people in a country or
region. Immigration adds to the population size, while emigration reduces it.Carrying capacity refers to the
maximum number of individuals an environment can sustain based on available resources. If a population
exceeds this capacity, it can lead to resource depletion and decreased quality of life, potentially causing
population decline or limiting growth.
A. What are the main stages of the demographic transition model? 1
B. How does migration influence population change? 2
C. Explain the concept of "carrying capacity" and its relevance to population change. 2
