persons occupying a certain
geographic area, drawing
subsistence from their habitat and
interacting with one another.

plans for education, employment, housing,
transportation and communication, health,
recreational needs and other forms of social
services.
What will happen if there is
overpopulation?

Fig2. Overpopulation results in crowd and

greater industrialization

Fig1.Earth is in panic on how to accept

people falling above to its surface.
 How will the government deal with its
overpopulation?

Fig4. Waste Materials are scattered on slum

areas and will lately affect the people residing
in the areas.

Fig3. Pollution, one effect of overpopulation

that have detrimental effect to people and
environment.
If the problem with overpopulation will not
be address, Population Explosion would lead
us in the end….
But the future of the Earth lies in our hands,
not with our sex organ…

 Sources of Demographic Data
2.Vital Statistics System
1.Census
- it is a population count where
the demographic, economic
and social data of every
individual of a given time are
collected, tabulated, compiled
and published
- events that deal with an
individual’s life from birth
to death and those in
between.
3.Sample Surveys
-are conducted by private and
public institutions to obtain
data and information on
matters not covered by the
two.
Composition of Population

1.Age Composition
- it pertains to the
comparative percentage of
individuals at different age
levels influencing the
economic and social
structures of society.
Composition of Population

2.Sex Composition
- pertains to the
gender differences
which is determined
by sex ratio and is
affected by births,
deaths and migration
incidences.
Population Pyramid or Age-Sex
Pyramid
Elements of Demography

1. Birth Rate
- yearly count of
live births per 1,000
population; gives data
on a society’s
reproductive patterns.
Elements of Demography

2. Total Fertility
Rate
- the average count of
children conceived; can
project a society’s future
population growth.
Elements of Demography

3. Death Rate
- the yearly count
of deaths per 1,000
population; gives data
on a society’s mortality
patterns.
Elements of Demography

4. Life
Expectancy
- the average
number of years a
person is expected to
live.
Elements of Demography

5. Growth Rate
- differences between
births and deaths plus the
differences between
immigrants and emigrants
per 1,000 population.
