The End of the Nation State?
This unit focuses on the components of global population change, specifically the factors affecting the birth and death rates. An investigation of the demographic transition model and why countries are at differing stages of population change will take place. A comparison of two different countries, with information provided and data research will be used to explore the demographic transition model. An examination of pro-natalist population polices and ageing populations will take place.
