Economic Development & Life Expectancy / Birth Rate

Learning Outcome:To understand reasons for changes in the global population, including how & why the birth and death rates have changed and the effects of these changes

Economic Development & Life Expectancy / Birth Rate

a) Introduce Sierra Leone & the UKb) Play board game and make notesc) Group discussion: why is the one country an MEDC and the other country an LEDC

The birth rate, death rate and life expectancy of a country can tell us how economically developed (or wealthy) a country is.

LEDC(for e.g. Sierra Leone)

MEDC(for e.g. UK)

Average life Expectancy: 50

Birth Rate: 4.9 children per single mom

Population aged 65+: 2.9%

Infant mortality rate per 1000 children: 114

Average life Expectancy: 80

Birth Rate: 1.9 children per single mom

Population aged 65 or over: 10.7 million people

Infant mortality rate per 1000 children: 4.1

Rate of Population ChangeRate of change• Births and deaths are natural causes of population change. The difference

between the birth rate and the death rate of a country or place is called the natural increase. The natural increase is calculated by subtracting the death rate from the birth rate.

Natural increase = birth rate - death rateTask: In groups, discuss what the information on the board

shows. One person to lead the group Then copy spider diagram and complete notes:

Coding of Text Activity Task Aim: For learners to identify what they do and do not understand when using a written source. With an aim to ensure learners improve their understanding.

Learning Outcome:To understand reasons for changes in the global population, including how & why the birth and death rates have changed and the effects of these changes

Task 5) How and why have birth and death rates changed over time?

 

a) What are the effects of these changes?• Coding the text activity based on the DTM• Draw and label an outline of the Demographic

Transition Model (DTM). Label and explain what the graph shows

• Apply the DTM to an LEDC e.g. Sierre Leone and the UK e.g. England. Research task.
