Introduction ‘This book has been written to help you while you study for your geography IGCSE. The examples and case studies in the book are from around the world. Geography is abour people and places and we hope that you will use your own home area as much as possible to add to the material in this book. We would encourage you also to keep up to date with geographical events — one way is through listening to the news or reading about events in newspapers or on the Internet. Geography is happening every day, everywhere and examiners love to read about new developments so think about your own geographical location and new geographical events. This book has been written to follow closely the IGCSE specification. It includes a number of activities to help you succeed with the written assessment and guidance for your coursework. Below are details of the exams and assessment that you will experience. Be prepared — knowing what to expect will help you succeed in your exams. Make sure you also use your teachers? experience — they are an excellent resource waiting to be tapped. Good luck and enjoy your geographical studies. @ Assessment Scheme of assessment All candidates will take Paper 1, Paper 2 and either Paper 3 or Paper 4. Papers 1, 2 and 4 will consist of combined question papers and answer booklets where candidates answer in the spaces provided. Paper 1 (1 hour 45 minutes) Candidates will be required to answer three questions (3 x 25 marks). ‘They will choose one question out of two on each theme. Questions will be structured with gradients of difficulty, will be resource-based and involve problem, solving and free response writing, This paper will mainly be concerned with Assessment Objectives; 1, 2, and 3, Knowledge with understanding, Skills and analysis, and Judgement and decision making. 45% of total marks, Paper 2 (1 hour 30 minutes) (60 marks) Candidates answer all the questions. The paper is based on testing the interpretation and analysis of geographical information, decision making and the application of graphical and other techniques as appropriate. The questions will not require specific information about places but will require the use of a 1:25 000 or 1:50000 topographical map and will include a full key. 27.5% of total marks.

Known as the Neolithic Revolution, this period of economic change significantly altered the relationship between people and their environments. But even then the average annual growth rate was less than 0.1 per cent per year. as a result of technological advance ng capacity of the land improved and population increased. The carrying capacity is the largest population that the resources of a given environment can support. By 3500 BCE, global population reached 30 million and by 2000 years ago, this had risen to about 250 million (Figure 1), Population dynamics ‘8000 7000 ‘5000 5000 4000 3000 ‘World population (millions) 1000 ae) 1950 <¢7000-6000 cat 16501750 Year Figure 1 World population grow 1850 2050 Number of years to add each bilion (year) First bilion second (1800) 130 (1930) Third 301960) wast 131987) 12(1999) 12 (2011) 12 (2023)?

It had taken only 12 years for world population to increase from 6 t0 7 billion, the The rapid increase in the world’s population same timespan required for the previous billion to be added. It has been estimated that world population will reach 8 billion in 2023 Table 1 shows population change in 2012, with a global population increase of 84.3 mi year. This is the result of 140.5 million births and 56.2 million deaths. The bulk of this population increase is in the developing countries. When the number of births exceeds the number of deaths, world population increases, The greater the gap between the number of births and deaths, the greater the population increase. The very rapid growth of the world’s population over the last 60 years or so, illustrated by Figures 1 and 2, is the result of the largest ever difference between the number of births and deaths in the world as a whole! Recent demographic change Figure 3 shows that both total population and the rate of population growth are much higher in the less developed world than in the more developed world. The fastest rate of growth is taking place in the least developed countries, which is the poorest sub-section of the less developed world. However, only since the Second World War has population growth in the poor countries overtaken that in the rich, The rich countries had their period of high population growth in the nineteenth and early ‘twentieth centuries, while for the less developed countries rapid population growth has occurred since about 1950. The highest ever global population growth rate was reached in the early to mid 1960s when population growth in the less developed world peaked at 2.4 per cent a year. At this time the term population explosion was widely used to describe this rapid population growth. But by the late 1990s the rate of global population growth was down to 1.8 per cent and by 2012 it had reduced further to 1.2 per cent. However, even though the rate of growth has been falling for three decades, demographic momentum means that the number of people added each year remains very high This is because there are so many women in the child-bearing age range. jon in that Least developed countrles 1970-1990 2010-2030 2050 Year Figure 3 Popttation growth in more and less develaped countries, 1950-2050 ‘The demographic transformation, which took a century to complete in the developed world, has occurred in a single generation in some less developed countries. Fertility has dropped further and faster than most demographers predicted 20 or 30 years ago. Except in Affica, where in around 25 countries families of at least five children are the average and population growth is still over 2.5 per cent per year, birth rates are now declining in virtually every country. According to the Population Reference Bureau: ‘Developed countries asa whole will experience little or no population growth in this century, and much of that growth will be from immigration from less developed countries.” Table 2 shows the ren largest countries in the world in population size in 2012, and thei population projections for 2050. In 2012, China and India together accounted for 37 per cent of the world’s population. The USA isa long way behind, in third place. While three developed countries were in the top ren in 2012, only one, the USA, is in the forecast for 2050. Interesting note The Population Reference Bureau estimates that throughout the history of human population about 108 billion people have lived on Earth. This means that about 6.5 per cent of all people ever born are alive today! 1.1 POPULATION DYNAMICS Table 2.

If the birth rate of a country is 20/1000 (20 per 1000), this means that ‘on average for every 1000 people in this country 20 births will occur in a year. The death rate is the number of deaths per thousand population in a year. If the death rate for the same country is 8/1000, it means that on average for every 1000 people 8 deaths will occur. The difference between the birth rate and the death rate is the rate of natural change. If it is positive it is termed natural increase. If it is negative it is known as natural decrease. In the case given above there is a natural increase of 12/1000 (20/1000 — 8/1000). ‘This is the current rate of natural increase for the world as a whole — look at the birth and death rates given in Table 3. The rate of natural change may also be shown as a percentage, so in this example 12/1000 is equivalent to 1.2 per cent. Table 3 shows how much birth and death rates, vary by world region Table 3 Birth and death rates 2012 Region Birth rate [Death rate ‘World 20 8 Mote developed word 1 10 Less developed world 2 a ica 36 1 Asia 18 7 Ltn AmevieaCaribbean 19 6 North America 13 5 Oceania 18 7 Europe iT] i Population change in a country is affected by (a) the difference between births and deaths (natural change) and (b) the balance between immigration and emigration (net migration). On Figure 4 the dividing, line indicates that the relative contributions of natural change and net migration can vary over time, For ‘most countries natural change isa more important factor in population change than net migration. Births Immigrants Deaths Emigrants Figure 4 nput-output mode! of population change The immigration rate is the number of immigrants per thousand population entering a receiving country ina year. The emigration rate is the number of emigrants per thousand population leaving a country of origin in a year. The rate of net migration is the difference between the rates of immigration and emigration. Figure 5 shows some simple demographic calculations for the imaginary island of Pacifica.

Calculate the rate of natural change for each region, 4 Look at Figure 5. Imagine that the population of the island at the beginning of the year was 4000 rather ‘than 5000, Calculate the rates af change for this new starting population figure, @ The demographic transition model ‘The demographic transition model helps to explain the causes of a change in population size. Although the populations of no two countries have changed in exactly the same way, some broad generalisations can bbe made about population growth since the middle of the cighteenth century. These trends are illustrated by the demographic transition model (Figure 6). A model isa simplification of reality, helping us to understand the most important aspects of a process. Demographic transition is the historical shift of birth and death rates from high to low levels in a population. No country as a whole retains the characteristics of stage 1, which only applies to the most remote societies on Earth, such as isolated tribes in New Guinea and the Amazon basin. All the developed countries of the world are now in stage 4 or stage 5. The poorest of the developing countries are in stage 2. Most developing countries that have undergone significant social and economic advances are in stage 3, while some of the newly industrialised countries such as South Korea and Taiwan have entered stage 4. Stage 5, natural decrease, is mainly confined to eastern and southern Europe at present. stages 1 2 2 aos High aly ate low 3g stationary expanding expanding stationary 5 . 1 1 1 Bg g zg Birth rate 8 E i = Time Figure 6 The demographic transition model © The High Stationary Stage (stage 1): The birth rate is high and stable while the death rate is high and fluctuating due to famine, disease and war at particular times. Population growth is very slow and there may be periods of considerable decline. Infant mortality is high and life expectancy low. A high proportion of the population is under the age of 15. Society is pre-industrial with most people living in rural areas, dependent on subsistence agriculture. ‘© The Early Expanding Stage (stage 2): The death rate declines to levels never before experienced. The birth rate remains at its previous level because the social norms governing fertility take time to change. As the gap between the two vital rates widens, the rate of natural change increases to a peak at the end of this stage. The infant mortality rate falls and life expectancy increases. The proportion of the population under 15 increases. ‘The main reasons for the decline in the death rate are: better nutrition; improved public health particularly in terms of clean water supply and efficient sewerage systems; and medical advances. Considerable rural-to-urban migration occurs during this stage. © The Late Expanding Stage (stage 3): After a period of time social norms adjust to the lower level of mortality and the birth rate begins to 1.1 POPULATION DYNAMICS decline. Urbanisation generally slows and the average age increases. Life expectancy continues to increase and infant mortality to decrease. Countries in this stage usually experience lower death rates than nations in the final stage due to their relatively young population structures. © The Low Stationary Stage (stage 4): Both birth and death rates are low. The former is generally slightly higher, fluctuating somewhat due to changing economic conditions. Population growth slow: Death rates rise slightly as the average age of the population increases. However, life expectancy still improves as age-specific mortality rates continue to fall. ‘© The Natural Decrease Stage (stage 5): In a limited bur increasing number of countries, mainly European, the birth rate has fallen below the death rate. In the absence of net migration inflows these populations are declining. Examples of natural decrease include Germany, Belarus, Bulgaria and Ukraine.

The factors affecting fertility Figure 8 A school graup visiing @ 2000-year-old Roman site in Turkey The most common measure of fertility is the birth rate, but other more detailed measures are used at a. more advanced level of study. One of these measures is the total fertility rate, which is illustrated in igures 10 and 11. The toral fertility race is the average Reasons for contrasting rates of population change number of children a women has during her lifetime. ‘Table 4 shows the countries with the highest and lowest toral fertility rates in 2012. Table 4 Countries withthe highest and lowest fertility rates, 2012 Total Total | Highest fertility rate | Lowest fertility rate Niger 7.1 [Taiwan i] Somalia 64 [Latvia 1a Burundi 64 __| Singapore 12 Mali 63_|Bosia-Herzegovina | 1.2 Angola 63 | South Korea 12 ‘Congo, Demiep. | 63 | Hungary 12 Zambia 63 | Moldova 13 [Afghanistan 62 [Foland 13 | Uganda 62__|Romania 13 Burkina Faso 6.0 [Portugal 13 The factors aflecting fertility can be grouped into four categories: ‘© Demographic: Other population factors, particularly mortality (death) rates, influence fertility. Where infant mortality is high, it is usual for many children to die before reaching adult life. In such societies, parents often have many children to compensate for these expected deaths. The infant mortality rate is the number of deaths of | children under one year of age per thousand live births per year. In 2012, the infant mortality rate for the world as a whole was 41/1000, ranging from 5/1000 in Europe to 67/1000 in Affica. Tt is not just coincidence that the continent with the lowest fertility is Europe and the continent with the highest fertility is Africa. ‘The infant mortality rate is generally regarded as a prime indicator of socio-economic progress. Over the world as a whole infant mortality has declined sharply during the last half century. © Social /cultural: In some societies, particularly in Africa, tradition demands high rates of reproduction. Here the opinion of women in the reproductive years may have little influence weighed against intense cultural expectations. Education, especially female literacy, is the key to lower fertility (Figures 9 and 10). With education comes a knowledge of birth control, greater social awareness, more opportunity for employment and a wider choice of action generally. In some countries religion is an important factor. For example, the ‘Muslim and Roman Catholic religions oppose artificial birth control. Most countries that have population policies have been trying to reduce their fertility by investing in birth control programmes. ‘© Economie: Fertility rates tend to be highest in the world’s least developed countries (Figure 11). In many of the least developed countries children are seen as an economic asset because of the work they do, often on yery small farms, and also because of the support they are expected to give their parents, in old age. In many poor countries there is little or no government support for elderly people. In the developed world the general perception is reversed and the cost of the child dependency years is a major factor in the decision to begin or extend a family. Economic growth allows greater spending on health, housing, nutrition and education, which is important in lowering mortality and in turn reducing fertility. Government statistics published in the UK in 2010 showed that people were getting married five years later than a decade before, with couples in the UK now typically in their mid-30s when getting married. Many other countries have followed this trend. In general an increase in the average age of marriage leads to a fall in the birth rate © Political: There are many examples in the past century of governments attempting to change the rate of population growth for economic and strategic reasons. During the late 1930s Germany, Italy and Japan all offered inducements and concessions to those with large more recent years Malaysia has adopted policy, However, today, most governments that try to change fertility want to reduce population growth, although some countries such as Russia are concerned about their populations declining because the birth rate has fallen below the death rate Figure 9 Education and development
