Development of population geography point wise answer

Answer 1

Population Geography as Defined by its Subject Matter

According to the existing literature on the subject, population geography has become an independent sub-field of human geography and it is a comparatively recent phenomenon. The discipline can be interpreted as the study of population in a spatial perspective that also implies the investigation into human covering of the earth and its various occupations with reference to physical and cultural environmental issues. Since most of the world humanity lives in the less developed parts of the world, a significantly larger proportion of the net addition in world population during the first half of the twentieth century came from this part.

• The field is concerned with a set of investigation subjects:
• A historical perspective of pre-historic and post-historic account of population
• Dynamics of number, size, distribution and growth patterns
• Qualities of population and their regional distribution
• Size and distribution, between rural and urban groupings of population and its interactions
• Dynamics, past and present trends in growth and its components of population change such as fertility, mortality and migration.
• Composition and structure, of demographic characteristics classification by age, sex-distribution and marital status.
• Social characteristics like of caste, racial, ethnic, religious and linguistic composition.
• Literacy levels of educational attainment and economic characteristics of the workforce participation rate and workforce structure.

The link between population growth and environmental degradation, coupled with economic development varies a great deal from one part of the planet to another and it depends on a variety of socio-economic parameters. These are the areas of concern for a population geographer.
