Population Growth

2020

In the second of three videos on basic population dynamics, Professor Sue J. Goldie defines the demographic transition and walks through a graphical representation of the historical patterns of mortality and fertility changes over time. Emphasizing that fertility declines only after mortality declines, she discusses the implications of each phase of the demographic transition on population growth. 

This video is preceded by a video on populaton dynamics and is followed by a video on population age structure, both shown below.

Companion resources include selected reports and articles, data portals and interactives, country profiles, and a resource pack of curated background materials.
