Week 9 | Demography | Lee Jaeseong


1. Summary
Demographics is a study of human demographic dynamics. It is the study of various fields such as population size, structure and distribution, and birth.
Demographics relies on large datasets derived from census. A large set of data over a long period of time is needed to see trends in demographics.
Demographic changes are model theories that describe the transition of low birth rate and mortality rate, high birth rate and mortality rate. It is divided into about five stages, and it seems that as society develops, the stage rises.
Overpopulation refers to a scenario in which the population of living species exceeds the ecological limits.
Urbanization is the physical growth of urban areas as a result of global change. People move to cities to find economic opportunities, which leads to urbanization.

2. Interesting Point
Increasing the population cannot be said to be unconditionally good. In publishing the theory of population, economist Malthus said that overpopulation is the source of poverty or vice. It was argued that overpopulation would be naturally controlled. In fact, in developed countries, the population tended to decrease gradually.

3. Discussion
Do you think South Korea has an overpopulation?
