Populations

Population is the number of all the organisms of the same group or species, which live in a particular geographical area, and have the capability of interbreeding.

Current World Population

The current world population is 7.8 billion as of May 2020, 7.7 Billion as of March 2019. 7,600,000,000 in December, 2017 - In the next 100 years 7 billion people will die. How many people have lived since the beginning? How many people were born and died in my lifetime?

Around 384 thousand people are born everyday, 156 thousand die each day. That is a net increase of 229 thousand new people every single day or over 83 Million new people every year or 83,585,000 new people every year out of the 140.4 million that are born each year. Four births each second of every day and nearly two people die each second. 250 births each minute and 105 people die each minute.

There are areas in the world where the population is declining because of low birth rates and from more old people dying of diseases. There are now more adult diapers sold than baby diapers in Japanese supermarkets. Over population depends on where you live and how the area is managed. Under population or demographic crunch can also be problematic when there are not enough service providers.

Census Population Details - Census Accuracy Problems 2020 (PDF) - Get Counted (844-330-2020) - my2020census.gov - U.S. Population is around 336 Million ahead of actual count in 2020.

The world population grew from 1 billion to 7 billion from 1800 to 2011.  It took over 200,000 years of human history for the world's population to reach 1 billion, and only 200 years more to reach 7 billion. In1960 the world Population was 3,039,451,023. In 2011 it is estimated that 135 million people were born and 57 million died, for an increase in population of 78 million. At the beginning of the 19 century there were only 12 cities in the world that had over a million people, in 2013, there is over 500 cities in the world with more than a million people. Half the worlds population lives in large cities, and if you combined all the large cities in the world, it would cover an area half the size of Australia. Human Population Through Time (youtube) .

Human Population Planning is the practice of intentionally managing the rate of growth of a human population. Historically human population planning has been implemented with the goal of increasing the rate of human population growth. Family Planning.

Reproductive Suppression involves the prevention or inhibition of reproduction in otherwise healthy adult individuals. It includes delayed sexual maturation (puberty) or inhibition of sexual receptivity, facultatively increased interbirth interval through delayed or inhibited ovulation or spontaneous or induced abortion, abandonment of immature and dependent offspring, mate guarding, selective destruction and worker policing of eggs in some eusocial insects or cooperatively breeding birds, and infanticide (see also infanticide (zoology)), and infanticide in carnivores) of the offspring of subordinate females either by directly killing by dominant females or males in mammals or indirectly through the withholding of assistance with infant care in marmosets and some carnivores.

Family Planning - Birth Control Types

The civilized world started out with shorter lifespan and plenty of new births. Now in 2017, people in the developed world are living longer, and people in some areas are having less children. People are buying more adult diapers then children's diapers. There will be more old people then young people. We will need a work force just to take care of our elders. And since robots are taking jobs, caregiving jobs will be plentiful. Society must prepare themselves for this.

Geometric Progression is a sequence of numbers where each term after the first is found by multiplying the previous one by a fixed, non-zero number called the common ratio. For example, the sequence 2, 6, 18, 54, ... is a geometric progression with common ratio 3. Similarly 10, 5, 2.5, 1.25, ... is a geometric sequence with common ratio 1/2.

Doubling Time - Exponential Growth - Environment

Doubling Time is time it takes for a population to double in size/value. It is applied to population growth, inflation, resource extraction, consumption of goods, compound interest, the volume of malignant tumours, and many other things that tend to grow over time. When the relative growth rate (not the absolute growth rate) is constant, the quantity undergoes exponential growth and has a constant doubling time or period, which can be calculated directly from the growth rate. This time can be calculated by dividing the natural logarithm of 2 by the exponent of growth, or approximated by dividing 70 by the percentage growth rate (more roughly but roundly, dividing 72; see the rule of 72 for details and a derivation of this formula). The doubling time is a characteristic unit (a natural unit of scale) for the exponential growth equation, and its converse for exponential decay is the half-life. For example, given Canada's net population growth of 0.9% in the year 2006, dividing 70 by 0.9 gives an approximate doubling time of 78 years. Thus if the growth rate remains constant, Canada's population would double from its 2006 figure of 33 million to 66 million by 2084.

Net Reproduction Rate is the average number of offspring (often specifically daughters) that would be born to a female if she passed through her lifetime conforming to the age-specific fertility and mortality rates of a given year.

Total Fertility Rate of a population is the average number of children that would be born to a woman over her lifetime if: She was to experience the exact current age-specific fertility rates (ASFRs) through her lifetime, and She was to survive from birth to the end of her reproductive life. It is obtained by summing the single-year age-specific rates at a given time.

The problem isn't so much over population, though it is a problem in certain areas, the main problem is education. This world could easily handle 10 billion people, as long as every person was fully educated that is. But because we have so many undereducated people at all levels of society, from the very poor to the very rich, we will always suffer from the ignorance that comes from having undereducated people. When people don't have the right knowledge and information that's needed to make good decisions and good choices, they will constantly make mistakes and not have the necessary abilities to solve problems, or even have the ability to see problems that are right in front of them.

What Happens in One Day on Planet Earth

My parents have seen the world population triple in their life times from 1900 till 2000. I have seen the world population double in my lifetime since 1960 till 2015. And if I live till 2060, I will also see the world population triple. People being born today will not see the world population double in their lifetimes. So is the birth rate slowing down?

Adolescents aged 10–24 years represent over a quarter of the population (1.8 billion), 89% of whom live in developing countries. Adolescents aged 10–24 years have the poorest health-care coverage of any age group. Two-thirds of young people are growing up in countries where preventable and treatable health problems like HIV/AIDS, early pregnancy, unsafe sex, depression, injury, and violence remain a daily threat to their health, wellbeing, and life chances.

Causes of Death - Deaths Per Year - The ways that People Die

36 million deaths each year are caused by Non-Communicable Diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes and chronic lung diseases. This is almost two-thirds of the estimated 56 million deaths each year worldwide. (A quarter of these take place before the age of 60)  (A non-communicable disease is non-infectious and non-transmissible among people). Pollution.

Not just Wars, Genocides and Mass Murders kill people. Roughly 385,000 people were murdered around the world in 2017.

Unintentional injuries are the leading cause of death for people in the United States ages 1 to 44. You're more likely to die from a lightning strike than in a plane crash and you're also more likely to die from being attacked by a dog, stung by a bee or choking on your food.

The world loses about 3,000 adolescents each day. That adds up to 1.2 million deaths a year, nearly all preventable.

Mortality Rate is a measure of the number of deaths (in general, or due to a specific cause) in a particular population, scaled to the size of that population, per unit of time. Mortality rate is typically expressed in units of deaths per 1,000 individuals per year; thus, a mortality rate of 9.5 (out of 1,000) in a population of 1,000 would mean 9.5 deaths per year in that entire population, or 0.95% out of the total. It is distinct from "morbidity", a term used to refer to either the prevalence or incidence of a disease, and also from the incidence rate (the number of newly appearing cases of the disease per unit of time).

All-Cause Mortality is utilized in reference to a disease or a harmful exposure—such as to radiation or dangerous chemicals—in a statistical context. It is typically expressed as the total number of deaths due to that condition during a specific time period.

Selfie Deaths in 2017 was 93, and Selfie isn’t always officially included in cause of death. People die taking a picture of themselves either by drowning, falling into a large body of water or being swept away by waves. Other deaths included posing on the edge of a cliff and falling, accidentally shooting oneself when posing with a firearm, and attacks by animals. The rise of the “extreme selfie” phenomenon involves photographing yourself “in the most extreme environments.

US healthcare costs for animal-related injuries exceed $1 billion every year. Numbers likely to rise amid climate change and development pressure on animal habitats, warn researchers. Dog bites, non-venomous insect and spider bites, and bites from venomous snakes and lizards accounted for 60 per cent of the total costs. During the five year study period, 6, 457, 534 visits were made to emergency care departments by people who had sustained injuries as a result of an encounter with creatures great and small. Their average age was 31.

Democracy Linked to Global Health Gains in low-, middle-income countries. Democracies are more open to feedback from a broader range of interest groups, more protective of media freedom and might be more willing to use that feedback to improve their public health programs. Autocracies reduce political competition and access to information, which might deter constituent feedback and responsive governance. Free and fair elections for better health.

Demographics

Demography is the statistical study of populations, especially human beings which encompasses the study of the size, structure, and distribution of these populations, and spatial or temporal changes in them in response to birth, migration, ageing, and death. Based on the demographic research of the earth, earth's population up to the year 2050 and 2100 can be estimated by demographers. Demographics are quantifiable characteristics of a given population.

Census Bureau primary mission is conducting the U.S. Census every ten years, which allocates the seats of the U.S. House of Representatives to the states based on their population. The Bureau's various censuses and surveys help allocate over $675 billion in federal funds every year and it helps states, local communities, and businesses make informed decisions. The information provided by the census informs decisions on where to build and maintain schools, hospitals, transportation infrastructure, and police and fire departments. Census, as defined in Title 13 U.S.C. § 11) is a principal agency of the U.S. Federal Statistical System, responsible for producing data about the American people and economy. The Census Bureau is part of the U.S. Department of Commerce and its director is appointed by the President of the United States. In addition to the decennial census, the Census Bureau continually conducts over 130 surveys and programs a year, including the American Community Survey, the U.S. Economic Census, and the Current Population Survey. Furthermore, economic and foreign trade indicators released by the federal government typically contain data produced by the Census Bureau. The census can also be misused for gerrymandering voting districts.

Core-Based Statistical Area is a U.S. geographic area defined by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) that consists of one or more counties (or equivalents) anchored by an urban center of at least 10,000 people plus adjacent counties that are socioeconomically tied to the urban center by commuting. Areas defined on the basis of these standards applied to Census 2000 data were announced by OMB in June 2003. These standards are used to replace the definitions of metropolitan areas that were defined in 1990. The OMB released new standards based on the 2010 Census on July 15, 2015.

People Watching

People watching or crowd watching is the act of observing people and their interactions, usually without their knowledge. It involves picking up on idiosyncrasies to try to guess at another person's story. This includes speech in action, relationship interactions, body language, expressions, clothing and activities. Eavesdropping may accompany the activity, though is not required. For some people it is considered a hobby, but for many others it is a subconscious activity they partake in everyday without even realizing.

Be Careful not to Stare at People (gawking).

People watching can be insightful and informative for authors when writing a book or actors when performing a play. Watching how other people walk, talk and interact with each other can be used as inspiration for their characters. It can also inspire other artistic works such as artwork and photography, or lead to writing a symphony, movie script or blog post. For others, people watching is a fun and relaxing activity.

Naturalistic Observation is a research tool in which a subject is observed in its natural habitat without any manipulation by the observer. During naturalistic observation researchers take great care to avoid interfering with the behavior they are observing by using unobtrusive methods. Naturalistic observation involves two main differences that set it apart from other forms of data gathering. In the context of a naturalistic observation the environment is in no way being manipulated by the observer nor was it created by the observer. People watching is not to be confused with naturalistic observation. Naturalistic observation is used for scientific purposes. It uses the same techniques as people watching. The key is to not let anyone know that you are observing him or her. People are in their natural environment, so there is no pressure for them to behave a certain way, as they would feel if they knew they were being studied. Scientists often are fond of this method because people are acting naturally and not acting how they are expected to act. Naturalistic observation as a research tool comes with both advantages and disadvantages that impact its application. By merely observing a given instance without any manipulation in its natural context it makes the behaviors exhibited more credible because they are occurring in a real typical scenario as opposed to an artificial one generated within a lab. Naturalistic observation also allows for study of events that it is deemed unethical to study via experimental models, such as the impact of high school shootings on students attending the high school.

Analog Observation is a research tool by which a subject is observed in an artificial setting. Typically, types of settings in which analog observation is utilized include clinical offices or research laboratories, but, by definition, analog observations can be made in any artificial environment, even if the environment is one which the subject is likely to encounter naturally. Analog observation is typically divided into two iteration of application: The first iteration primarily studies the effect of manipulation of variables in the subject's environment, including setting and events, on the subject's behavior. The second iteration primarily seeks to observe the subject's behavior in quasi-experimental social situations. Zoos.
