Populations
Advancements in technology and increased carrying capacity caused the rapid increase in the world’s total population. Carrying capacity is the largest number of people that the resources of a certain environment can support.
In the 1800s, the world’s total population reached 1 billion. In 2011, the world reached the seven billion mark. In 2023, it is projected that the Earth will be inhabited by eight billion people.
This A-Level Populations module will enable students to:
- Discuss the causes of rapid increase in the world’s population;
- Discuss the causes of change in population size;
- Explain population ecology and how it helps makes sense of pressing environmental issues;
- Discuss the reasons for and implications of different types of population structure; and
- Explain the factors influencing density and distribution of a population
