What is
Population
Education?

According to:
Sharman
Population Education is the
study of human population
in relation to his
environment with a view to
improving his quality of life
without adversely affecting
the environment

According to:

Burbson
Population Education is an
exploration of knowledge
and attitude about
population, the family and
sex. It includes population
awareness, family living,
reproduction education and

Growth of the human population:

Demography is the study of the
size, density and distribution of the
human population. This area of study
takes into account birth rates, death
rates, age distribution and any other
factors that influence the size and
growth of a population.
Demographers have identified three
distinct periods of human population
growth:

1. Pre-Agricultural Period
Thepre-agricultural periodis the
first period of human population
growth. This period is considered
anything before 10,000 years
ago. During the pre-agricultural
period, human population growth
was very slow, and it took tens of
thousands of years for the
human population to double.

Although growth was slow, the

population was able to increase
due to the development of tools.
As
people
developed
more
advanced tools, they were able
to travel to new land and use
their skills to adapt. This made it
possible for people to spread to
new regions of the world and
expand the coverage of the
human population.

When the pre-agricultural

period ended around
10,000 years ago, the
human population was
estimated to be
somewhere between five
and ten million people.

2. Agricultural Period
Theagricultural periodis the
second period of human
population growth. This period
ranges from 10,000 years ago
to about 1,000 years ago.
During this time period, the
human population started to
grow more rapidly due to
advances in agriculture.

It was during this time that

plants
and
animals
were
domesticated for farming. There
were also advances in irrigation
and plowing techniques that
increased overall crop yield. As
a result of increased food
availability and more nutritious
food, the human population
grew faster than ever.

Unlike during the pre-agricultural

period, when it took tens of
thousands of years for the
human population to double,
during the agricultural period, it
only took around 1,000 years for
it to double in size. At the end of
the agricultural period, the
human population had increased
a great deal to around 500
million people.

2. Industrial Period
Theindustrial periodwas
the third period of human
population growth. This
period is from 1,000
years ago to current day
and is characterized by
advances in technology.

Although
there
were
advances in technology
during the early part of this
period, it wasn't until the
Industrial Revolution in the
1800s that the advances in
technology started to have
a profound influence on the
human population.

in agricultural techniques that

made it possible to grow crops
on land that had previously
been unusable. This resulted
in another increase in the
amount of food available, and
therefore
increased
the
number of humans that could
survive. Technology was also
used to improve medicine and

grew at a rapid pace. Over the

industrial period, the time it
takes to double the population
decreased a great deal. During
the beginning of the period, it
took around 500 years to
double the population, but
more recently, the number has
decreased to 50 years to
double. During the industrial
