Description

This unit teaches pupils about the changing size and distribution of the world's population and how these can be affected by factors such as migration. Through examining a range of examples, pupils will develop an understanding of how countries react to different population challenges.

Population growth and change are key to many areas of geographical study. This unit is taught early in Year 7 so that pupils can use their knowledge to help them understand later regional studies on India and China. It also provides a context for units on forest biomes, globalisation, and natural resources.
