Title: USA Population 2016
1Demography of the United States
Presentation by, Population2016.com
2INTRODUCTION
- The U.S. Census Bureau currently estimates the
country's population to be 322,579,000.The U.S.
population almost quadrupled during the 20th
century, from about 76 million in 1900. - The third most populous nation in the world,
after China and India, the United States is the
only major industrialized nation in which large
population increases are projected. - As of December 2, 2015, the United States has a
total resident population of 322,267,564, making
it the third most populous country in the world. - It is very urbanized, with 81 residing in cities
and suburbs as of 2014. - In the 1800s the average woman had 7.04 children,
by the 1900s this number had decreased to
3.56.Since the early 1970s the birth rate has
been below the replacement rate of 2.1 with 1.86
children per woman in 2014. - Foreign born immigration has caused the US
population to continue its rapid increase with
the foreign born population doubling from almost
20 million in 1990 to over 40 million in 2010,
representing one third of the population
increase. - The foreign born population reached 45 million
in 2015.

5Population Growth
- The worlds population is growing rapidly
- The population of the world is growing at an
exponential rate- its growing faster and faster. - There are two things that affect the population
size of the world
Birth rate- the number of live babies born per
thousand of the population per year.
Death rate-the number of deaths per thousand of
the population per year.
When the birth rate is higher than the death
rate, more people are being born than are dying,
so the population grows This is called Natural
increase When the death rate is higher than the
birth rate it is called the natural decrease.
6Countries go through five stages of population
growth These are shown by the Demographic
transition model (DTM)
Poorer, less developed countries are in the
earlier stages of the DTM, whilst richer more
developed countries are in the later stages.
7Population growth and structure
- Stage 1
- Birth rate is high because there's no use of
contraception, and people have lots of children
because many infants die. - Death rate is high due to poor healthcare.
- Population growth rate is zero.
- Population structure- life expectancy is low, so
the population is made up of mainly young people.
- Stage 2
- Birth rate is high because there's no use of
contraception, Also the economy is based on
agriculture so people have lots of children to
work on farms. - Death rate falls due to improved healthcare.
- Population growth rate is very high.
- Population structure- life expectancy has
increased but there are still more young people
than older people.
8- Stage 3
- Birth rate is rapidly falling due to the
emancipation of women and better education. - The use of contraception increases and more women
work instead of having children. - The economy also changes to manufacturing, so
fewer children are needed to work on farms. - Death rate falls due to more medical advances.
- Population growth rate is high
- Population structure- more people are living to
be older
- Stage 4
- Birth rate is low- people move to urban areas ,
their wealth improves and they want more
possessions. This means there is less money
available for having children. - Death rate is low and fluctuating.
- Population growth rate is zero.
- Population structure- life expectancy is high, so
even more people are living to be older.

14 Population Movements
- Migration is the movement of people from one area
to another. - When people move into an area its called
emigration. - When people leave an area its called emigration.
15Migration happens because of push and pull factors
Push factors are the things about a persons place
of origin that make them decide to move.
Pull factors are things about a persons
destination that attracts them to it.
Example Push factors
Example Pull factors
- Not being able to find a job.
- Poor living conditions.
- Natural disasters
- Job opportunities
- Better standards of living

17Migration has positive and negative impacts
Positive impacts Negative impacts
Source country Reduced demand on services e.g. schools and hospitals Money is sent back to the source country by emigrants Labour shortage- its mostly people of working age that emigrate. Skills shortage sometimes its the more highly educated people that emigrate. Ageing population- there's a high proportion of older people left
Receiving country Increased labour force- young people immigrate to find work. Migrant workers pay taxes that help to fund services Locals and immigrants compete for jobs- this can lead to tension and conflict. Increased demand for services e.g overcrowding in schools and hospitals Not all the money by immigrants is spent in the destination country- some is sent to their country of origin.
