Summary:
Demography is interested in population changes, but birth and death are the most important indicators. Population migration is also important. Infertility and fertility are important in birth. The fertility rate can be predicted through the educational level of women. When collecting data on mortality rates, we are interested in the president's specific time and place of death. In recent years average life expectancy has increased. Factors related to longevity include wealth, race, ability to slow down satisfaction, large-scale channel networks, and job satisfaction. The world population continues to increase, but overpopulation has taken place, but with the declining fertility rate, the United Nations predicts that by 2075, the population will stabilize to 9 billion. In the past, many scholars have argued for population control because the population growth rate is larger than the increase in resources. These scholars thought that the problem of infectious disease caused by overpopulation was more serious than the resource shortage due to population increase. Today, urbanization, environmental pollution, the elderly people living alone, etc., are mentioned as the biggest problems.
What was
interesting/What did we learn:
I was interested in the cause of the urbanization called 'rural flight'. Urbanization has been steadily taking place for a while, and the rural people are left with only the elderly, and the young people continue to leave the city. Of course, these sites are still happening. It would have been inevitable for young people to leave rural areas to places where there were many doctors, hospitals, universities and companies, Moreover, farming is affected by the weather, which is considered to be unstable.
However, in Japan and Korea recently, young people who have exhausted from the city returned to the countryside and the movie that visited the happiness of life was popular. Young people who are tired of city life that are actually stifling and competitive are choosing to go farming. I anticipate that this movement will lead to the transformation of the whole society in relation to urbanization.
Discussion
point:
Do you think urbanization will continue to increase in the future? Why?
While urbanization is increasing globally, it is likely that urbanization will no longer occur in developed countries. The urbanization has already been sufficiently urbanized, and therefore there will be a movement to protect the rural natural environment.
