Population and Migration - 4.2.2 changes in population structure overtime 9696 2027 Spec
This comprehensive geography lesson explores the Demographic Transition Model (DTM) and its role in explaining global population shifts. Students will master the five stages of the DTM, identifying how changing birth and death rates transform societies from rural to urbanised.
The lesson features two contrasting case studies:
Ageing Population: A deep dive into Japan (Stage 5), where over 29% of citizens are aged 65 or older. Students investigate causes like high life expectancy and low fertility, alongside impacts such as labour shortages and rural akiya (abandoned homes).
Youthful Population: A study of The Gambia, where 43% of the population is under age 15. Students analyse the strain on education systems and environmental pressures like desertification.
Utilising the SEEP framework (Social, Economic, Environmental, Political), learners will evaluate solutions such as caregiving robotics in Japan and workforce development in The Gambia. Concepts like demographic preparedness and the demographic dividend are explored to promote critical thinking.
The lesson package includes:
Presentation Slides: Visual aids covering DTM stages and case study data.
Resource Sheets: Detailed fact sheets for Japan and The Gambia.
Student Investigation Booklets: Structured tasks including mapping, data analysis, and knowledge checks.
This premium bundle includes student-ready revision resources (generated via AI and meticulously verified by a Geography teacher with 20 years of experience) to guarantee your students engage with the material.
