Key Concepts

Decreasing Population

A decreasing population is indicated by a smaller proportion of younger individuals and a relatively larger older population, reflecting low birth rates and potentially higher death rates. This age structure suggests that the overall population is in decline due to fewer individuals entering the younger, productive age groups.

Increasing Population

An increasing population is characterized by a larger proportion of younger individuals, particularly in the bottom of the age pyramid, suggesting high birth rates relative to death rates. This structure points to rapid population growth as more individuals are entering the reproductive age group.

Population Dynamics

Population dynamics is the field that studies how and why populations change over time due to factors such as birth rates, death rates, immigration, and emigration. It provides the theoretical foundation for interpreting age structure diagrams and assessing the growth status of populations.

Age Structure Diagram

An age structure diagram is a graphical representation that illustrates the distribution of various age groups within a population. It typically helps identify trends in population growth or decline based on the proportions of young, reproductive-age, and older individuals.

Stable Population

A stable population is one in which the age structure shows consistent proportions across age groups, indicating that birth and death rates are balanced. It suggests that, over time, the population size remains relatively constant without dramatic growth or decline.

0:00 Hello there students.

00:01 Today we're going to be looking at these age structure diagrams in regards to the chapter on ecology and population.

00:11 So where's these age structure diagrams? well these age structure diagrams are basically a population that's divided by three age group, which is the red that you see here.

00:25 The red is basically your pre -reproductive.

00:30 Group and the ages will be the people like before they're in in their furtile years so that's like infant to like i want to say like middle school age or primary school age for others who aren't used to going to school in the us and then the orange that you see here is reproductive age group and the reproductive age group is that for the age for people who are hitting puberty and starting puberty.

01:03 So basically people who are possibly in secondary school or university or out of university where they're in that age where you can reproduce and have children.

01:16 And post -reproductive age is basically for people that your fertility years are up and you're not able to reproduce.

01:26 So these are like people who are around the age where you hit menopause for women and for males is where production of sperm basically gets slower and slower.

01:39 Anywho, enough of that.

01:42 What we're going to do, we're going to label each of these age structure diagrams to determine whether the population is increasing, decreasing, or stabilizing.

01:53 So i have a setup where you see these charts.

01:59 And you're going to write down if one of these charts represent, let me bring it down a bit so you can see your choices.

02:08 So your choices are increasing, decreasing, or stabilizing.

02:12 So look at the chart, write it down.

02:16 So pause the video and write down which is which.

02:21 And we're going to see if we all came out the same answer.

02:27 Okay, did you guys write out your answer? there? okay, let's see if we both end up with the same answer...
