3. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 8. 7. Identify the A8 countries using an atlas.
4. Key and scale Work out population for each bar Name each country in Europe Scale
5. Shade in using red for decrease and blue for increase. Note the difference in years. Know your A8 countries! What factors other than emmigration could be causing a decrease in the populations of the A8 countries?
6. What could the reasons for this decrease be? What happened in 2004 to cause this sudden increase? What were the causes of the decline in natural increase? Note that the graph shows population change not totals. 1992 had more emigrants than immigrants. (link pg 8) Does the increase in natural increase have anything to do with immigrants having children?
7. Suggest reasons why Australia & Spain 3 years then leave 2004 onwards Why Poland? Decrease from previous year Increase in 2004 due to A8 1992 emigration exceeds immigration (link to previous slide)
8. Please read this carefully. It highlights that immigrants from the A8 mainly settled in rural areas in Eastern England. Decrease from previous year Key points. What does each one tell us about the migrant workers? Why catering, retailing and farming? Note the benefits that workers are entitled to What would the effect of 9.7% of the population in Boston being migrant? Mindmap pros and cons
9. The population pyramid is a representation of the age and sex structure of the population. Each bar represents a particular single year of age and the length shows the population of that age. The structure of the pyramid is determined by births, deaths and migration. Match the statements to the graph. from the age of 73 onwards, females outnumber males. 'bulge' of the 'baby boomers' of the 1960s moving into the older age bands. women born during the peak years immediately after World War Two have now reached retirement age (at 60 years). Men born just after WW2 will reach retirement age in 2012 (at 65 years). narrowing of the pyramid appears between the ages of five and 19 reflecting the low fertility rates during the late 1980s and 1990s An increase in fertility rates possibly caused by migrant workers having children. 83% of migrants are between the ages of 18 and 34
10. Describe the pattern of UK population change. Suggest how the predicted figures were generated Suggest why the population of the UK could start to level off from 2031
11. Which age groups are/ will increase? Which will decrease? Suggest reasons for these changes. What social and economic effects could occur if by 2031 30% of the population are over 60? Remember an aging population can bring benefits as well as negative impacts.
12. Which are bringing benefits to the society? How? … and which strains? Why? What services do the elderly require? Which stakeholders are involved? Where does the finance for these services come from?
