====**a)** What's your number? click here. to find out. Use the calculator to find out where you fit in the 7 billion people on the planet. Take a screen shot of your number and insert it into your notes.==== ====**b)** Read the articles and watch the videos on //"How Many more?," "Seven Stories," "Population control,"// and //"Is seven billion accurate?"// from the same BBC website. Make notes on each section.====

**c)** Watch the video below and be able to explain why there are different predictions on population change.

**1)** Before we start lets recap on some vocabulary. Download a copy of the population definitions document and **add the definitions that you have learned from Tasks 1-5.**
====**2)** Now add definitions for the terms //LEDC/ELDC// and //MEDC/EMDC// using the information on this geographyalltheway.com page.====

**3)** Read the definitions below and then add them to your vocab list.
//**Definitions:**//

Population Pyramids
====**4)** Carefully read through the PowerPoint below and make notes in your book. The information you need to answer the following questions can be found in the PowerPoint so make sure you read it from start to finish.==== media type="custom" key="27791121"

====**5)** Save a copy of the Swiss Population Pyramid document to your documents. Once you have done this open it and label the population pyramids of Switzerland with the terms, //young dependents, elderly// //dependents// and //economically active.//====

//Dependency Ratio:// The ratio between the amount of dependents (old and young) and the economically active.
====Obviously some people stay at school past the age of 16, some people retire before 65 and some people work after 65. Also some people between 16 and 65 might unemployed. However, when we are look at entire populations we have to look at averages (the norm).====
 * Note:**

====**8)** Go back to the Power Point you worked on in question 4. Use your knowledge of population pyramids to label the population pyramids for Switzerland (2015 and 2050), India and Uganda. What do the pyramids tell us about the population structure of the three countries.==== ========

====** 9) ** Here you can find population pyramids for every country in the world. Use this link to find the predicted population pyramids for India and Uganda in 2050. Insert them into the Power Point and add labels to them highlighting the key information about the population structure and change for ea ch country as you did for question 8. ====

Extension:
====**10)** What problems do you think the governments of Switzerland, India and Uganda will face in 2050. Think about the relative sizes of the Young, Elderly and Economically Active Groups. Write a paragraph under the relevant slide in the PowerPoint you have made.====

If humans were still in the hunter-gatherer mode, Earth would have reached its capacity at about 100 million people.
====If everyone on Earth lived like a middle-class American, consuming roughly 3.3 times the subsistence level of food and about 250 times the subsistence level of clean water, the Earth could only support about 2 billion people.====
