Food for Thought Data Slides
Population per Region (in millions) Distribution for class of 25 students Northern America = 368 (4%) Europe = 747 (10%) Asia = 4,626 (59%) Latin America = 651 (8%) Africa = 1,338 (17%)
Population Demographic Terms Population: Number of people living in a region. Birth Rate: Number of births per 1,000 people per year. Death Rate: Number of deaths per 1,000 people per year. Rate of Natural Increase: Growth caused by having more births than deaths in a year (does not include immigration or emigration). Doubling Time: Number of years it will take a population to double in size if it maintains its current growth rate.

Total Fertility Rate: Average number of children a woman will have in her lifetime. Infant Mortality Rate: Yearly number of children who die before reaching the age of one year per 1,000 live births. Life Expectancy: Average number of years a person born today could expect to live. Access to Improved Sanitation: Percentage of population with access to improved sanitation facilities that hygienically separate sewage from human contact.

Energy Consumption and Wealth Terms Energy Consumption: Total amount of energy used by each region per year divided by the number of people living in that region (includes industrial use). Access to electricity refers to the percentage of the population who have electricity in their homes. Gross National Income (GNI): : A measure of a nation s wealth, GNI is the total domestic and foreign output claimed by residents of a country. Here it is expressed per capita (dividing the total GNI by the region s population) and Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) taking into account the different price levels and costs of living.
