Introduction Population refers to the whole number of people in a place or given area or any specific proportion of that given number. Population may be associated with the number of people living in an area per square kilometer or the density of the population. Demography is the field of sociology the deals with the statistical study of human populations and sub-populations. Demographers perform censuses to update statistical data on population and ratios within the field. Population plays a vital role in the performance of countries since it is one of the factors that affect the economy of a country. It affects the gross national product of the country; logically, more manpower with secured employment for each will result a greater gross income. Furthermore, population affects the country since it is the people that...

...India’s population for the year 2011 has been marked as 1.21 billion. A huge one when compared to the other countries, except China, for sure. It has around 17.31% of the total world population and it wouldn’t surprise me if one out of every six person in the world is- an Indian. And if one ponders to the question- “what India is doing to stop it?” Then the answer is nothing but make the best use of it, or in other terms capitalising on its demographic advantage. The concern about the size of India’s population has been shown by the intelligent right from the beginning of the present century but active interest in the study of population became pronounced only with the launch of planning for economic and social development after independence. The First Five Year Plan, from the year 1951-56 duly recognized population as an important parameter which requires careful consideration i9n the planning of country’s development. It has been credited to the never-ending poverty, floating illiteracy and falling mortality rate. Though the overtly-populous country has been in the news continuously for a decade now, but it’s all for the right reasons, and especially for how it is taking on its economy to a higher level. India has more than 50% of its population under the age of 25, and around 65% of its population under the age of 35. With a whopping population growth rate, India will soon topple China, by the end of 2030. Since its Independence, India has grown almost...

...Population Growth – Exponential and Logistic Models vs. Complex Reality I. Exponential Population Growth 1a. Suppose a single bacterium is placed in a flask that contains lots of food for bacteria. In this flask, each bacterium grows and divides in two every 30 minutes. Therefore, the number of bacteria in the population doubles every 30 minutes. How many bacteria do you think there willbe by 5 hours after the single bacterium is placed in the flask (just guessing)? ______ 1b. Complete the table to calculate how many bacteria there will be at each time. 1 bacterium at the beginning = 0 minutes bacteria by 30 minutes bacteria by 1 hour bacteria by 1 hour and 30 minutes bacteria by 2 hours bacteria by 2 hours and 30 minutes bacteria by 3 hours bacteria by 3 hours and 30 minutes bacteria by 4 hours bacteria by 4 hours and 30 minutes bacteria by 5 hours 2.Plot the number of bacteria at each time; connect the points to show the population growth. Number of Bacteria Time (hours) 3a. How long would it take for the population of bacteria to increase from 1 bacterium to 500 bacteria? 3b. How long would it take for the population to increase from 500 bacteria to 1000 bacteria? Notice that, when a population doubles in each time interval, the number of bacteria in the population increases faster and faster as the population gets larger. This kind of population growth is called exponential population growth. 4.For these bacteria, population...

...Balancing Ecosystems Holly Regan SCI/275 August 10, 2014 Stacy Murphy Balancing Ecosystems Glimmerville City Council, It has been brought to my attention that the city of Glimmerville is now faced with the same invasive grass carp population issues as the city of Sparksville. The problem with the grass carp is once they have been introduced they kill off the native species of our local waters. The purpose for the introduction of the grass carp is to remove the overabundance of indigenous aquatic plant life in particular habitats that have taken over due to fertilizer deposits making it to our community waterways thus, making survival hard for other inhabitants. In order to receive the optimal amount of benefits that the grass carp species has to offer, it must be released into a secure environment with no possibility of escape into other waterways. This species has found its way into many reservoirs, lakes, streams, and rivers in our community intentionally and/or by accident; either way it involves some degree of human error. Because the grass carp is native to Asia, it has no natural predators in North America. Another major factor which adds to this problem is their life expectancy is quite a long time and weigh up to 100 pounds, maybe more. The large-mouth bass and a few other species of fish will eat them if they are small enough. Some of the challenges faced in restoring the ecosystem in Sparksville were (a) the farmers grew the food for the community...

...Comparative and Absolute Advantage ECO 561 Alfred Igbodipe 7/24/16 Introduction Due to the differences between the countries in its profitable fundamentals; the International Trade occurs. The contracts between the countries consider as the primary driver of the global exchange. These contracts concluded on the basis of the countries beneficial elements and advantages. Each international trade between the countries depends on numerous focal points of this exchange process. The economics and producers effectiveness measured by absolute advantage for these economics/producers. For example; if the producer needs lesser amount of contributions/inputs to provide specific product, then this producer has an absolute advantage in producing process. Comparative advantage discusses the economy/producer ability to produce a specific product with a minimum opportunity cost comparing to another producer. "There is a possibility of each nation to have an absolute advantage in producing and delivering the products; however; the different nations could in any case have distinctive comparative advantages". The international trade theory based on two dynamic concepts; "Absolute and comparative advantage". The main difference between these concepts is that the absolute advantage measure nation ability to produce more profits per unit of beneficial input than another. However; the comparative advantage measure the ability that one nation has an absolute advantage in each kind of produce. ...

...Immigration Pros and Cons The following article explains the immigration pros and cons in detail. Read on to know whether immigration is advantages for the host country and the immigrant or not... Immigration, which can be defined as the moving away of people, from one's own country to another country, in search of better standards of living or for education or to escape any ill circumstances in one's own country, has been a world phenomenon since ages. Today, with globalization and the entire world becoming a kind of single economy, where people are free to move about to work or do business in any other country, immigration is pretty common and a large phenomenon. Although, there are both advantages and disadvantages of immigration, still they do not deter people from moving away from their own native land to live in some other country. Given below are the commonly experienced and observed immigration pros and cons. Pros and Cons of Immigration Pros: Better Standard of Living One of the most important advantages of immigration, on an individual level, is that people are able to earn a lot more than in their native country and thus, have a better standard of living. Personal and Professional Growth Another advantage of immigration is that when people from different cultures, with their own set of values and ways of working, come in contact, they tend to imbibe some of the useful and good values and working methods of the others and thus, grow as individuals and professionals...

...what recommendations would you make for the economy of China to sustain its economic growth? Wasay Butt China as country and an economy has grown significantly in the past few decades beyond many people’s measures and expectations. As pointed out by Findlay and O’Rourke “In the longer run, the gradual rise of China to their natural roles as major economic and political superpowers was not only the best news for global human welfare in a generation, but promised to raise a variety of geopolitical challenges which as yet remain unpredictable.” (Findlay and O’Rourke, p.18 2007) This assignment will help argue the case for the key economic indicators and the role of the government that has helped China in its momentous growth strategies and what made them so successful. In the second part I have made recommendations to China to what I think will help them sustain their economic growth based on the analysis I have provided in the first part of the essay. China’s history dates back to 1912 when it was official the republic of china was formed and Sun Yat-sen was the first proclaimed provisional president. In 1949 major combat resulted in China being forced into newer leadership (Communist Party). The new president Mao Zedong promoted a much different outlook he encouraged population growth and under his spell the population of China had almost doubled from 550 million to over 900. President Jiang Zemin is...

...Eye on Asia Can soaring population give India an edge over China? Posted by: Bruce Einhorn on September 19, 2006 India’s population is exploding and is likely to surpass China as the world’s biggest within a few decades. In a country where more than 25% of the people live in poverty, is that a good thing? One of the top executives at India’s premier pharma company seems to think so. Last week Brian Tempest, the former CEO and current “chief mentor” at Ranbaxy Laboratories, told an industry gathering that the growth of India’s below-25 population “is going to act as a secret weapon in the future,” according to this report in the Hindu. Tempest went on to take a jab at China, saying that slower Chinese population growth would put the Middle Kingdom at a disadvantage. Says Tempest, “the one-child policy in China will play a spoilsport.” The logic is simple. Fast population growth equals more young people, and more young people equals a more dynamic work force. According to the Indian Express, citing India’s Ministry of Labour and Employment, India already has an advantage over more advanced economies. The median age in India in 2000 was 24, compared to 30 in China, 38 in Europe and 41 in creaky old Japan. However, most of those Indians live in the countryside, and it’s no secret that India’s rural population is not sharing in the boom enjoyed by people in other parts of the country. In the past, Asiatech blog readers have written in to debate the merits of India’s development...

...Swaminathan for their useful comments. The usual caveat applies. _______________ This is a longer version of the paper prepared for IMRC 2006 conference on Global Competitiveness through Outsourcing: Implications for Services & Manufacturing, Indian Institute of Management (IIM), Bangalore, July 13-15, 2006. Abstract This paper analyses the implications of differing global demographic trends for India’s competitiveness in outsourcing and offshoring. It also briefly notes the implications of differing demographic trends among the Indian states. The paper argues that demographic complementarities with high-income countries provide India with one-time opportunity to sustain its growth rate and occupy all segments of global outsourcing and offshoring activities. India has used the labor cost advantage to gain reasonable market share in these activities. It however faces serious internal and external challenges in sustaining its international competitiveness, particularly with respect to labor cost. With sustained focus on human resource development, diversification and upgradation policies India can continue to atleast maintain its global market share, and help nurture globally competitive companies. Keywords: Outsourcing, Offshoring, Globalization. India, Demographic Trends, -1- I. Introduction Outsourcing has been among the most extensively debated public policy...

...occurred. The large city of Sydney in NSW, Australia has experienced many processes associated with urban dynamics. Some of these include suburbanisation, urban consolidation and urban decay and renewal. These have caused both positive and negative effects on the city. They have changed the technological, economic, social and cultural characteristics of Sydney. Sydney Sydney is defined as a large city in the developed world. Located at 33°52'S and 151°0'E, Sydney is one of the largest cities in the world in terms of geographical area at 499km2. Suburban Sydney radiates out from Port Jackson (Sydney Harbour) and accommodates a population of 4 284 379. Approximately 1/5 of Australia’s population lives in Sydney’s Metropolitan area. Established as a city in 1842, widespread ownerships of cars after WW2 facilitated a period of rapid low-density suburban growth in the fringes of the existing urban area beyond the reach of public transport. The construction of railway resulted in the linear spread of urban settlement along railway corridors. Within Sydney a number of different urban dynamics operate. These dynamics include urban renewal,...
