Population Growth
Introduction
The population of Britain grew rapidly between 19th century and early 20th century. There are many reasons and factors that effected the growth of the demographic. Another factor that caused population growth rapidly was people choose to give birth at younger age. It led to birth rate increase and population increase too. By 1875 Public Health Act introduced: more clean water, more public toilet, more frequently rubbish removal and sewer & drain available. It meant that people’s health and sanitation were better. Then life expectancy became longer. From the list of factors, it may has any argument whether which factor led to rapid population growth.

The most effective factor in population growth was

Another reason, food and jobs created were helping population growth was in late 19th century railways and steamships made it possible import cheap foods extended to all places. Then more people able to afforded to buy food. This meant less people was starved and population would grow because people were eating more healthy food. Additionally, during 19th century transport were greatly improved. This made travel faster. From this point of view when railway mania introduced many routed was created because more rich people invested. Then many jobs were created and this meant less people were unemployed. All the people from now have: food, job, money….. Then they wouldn’t be died at young age. The government banned children to work was a good point because it reduce the chance of death at young age. Also transport made food cheaper by import meat and grain through steamship and railway extended elsewhere in Britain. During railway mania period, created a lot of job for people who were unemployed to get going again. From the factor above it help increased population and more people employed. That meant people able to afford to buy food and less death. Overall food and jobs created did helps a lot with population growth. However, people have anything they need in their daily life such as food, job, money….. Then population would keeps grew without many people died.
Birth Rate
Birth rate got into population growth; due to people in 19th century choose to have baby at
increase in population due to food, there was a huge decline in population due to diseases like
This population boom led to not only the increased of the products but products being bought. Before this boom the quality of life was low and around 75% of kids under the age of 5 died, thanks for the growth in population that number lowered down to 30%. According to Document 15: “The Factory system led to a rise in the general standard of living, to rapidly falling urban death rates and decreasing infant mortality---and produced an unprecedented population explosion.” (15). Furthermore the overall impact of this boom gave families a source of income as children could work for the well being of the family. With the growth of population products began to be mass produced therefore making them cheaper and more accessible. A main concern in during the Industrial Revolution was bad working conditions and child labor which may have been a impact in some factories but in document 3 it states “...children would thrive better when employed in our modern factories, than if at home in apartments too often ill-aired, damp, and cold. (3). Decisively it is clear that the Industrial Revolution not only contributed to the growth in population but the growth in families, companies, and the overall well being of people. On the other side working conditions were not always the best. In both Document 11: The Conditions of the Working Class in England and Document 7: Picture of Outdoor Factory Environment. They both show how disease could be spread and how roads and the safety of factories could cause injury to workers; however this was only some factories and as the factories grew so did the necessity for safety and that danger soon turned into a safe working
This increase in population means there is more supply and demand due to the increase in workers and consumers, more consumers equals more demand and more workers equals more labor which equals more
During the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries the European population grew immensely (Doc. 1). This was because there were lower death rates and more opportunities during this period. Also, one could also observe that the population increased the most in the countries that were being industrialized. Europe experienced tremendous population growth, but it was often decreased with plagues, wars, and famine. Food prices rose because there was a great need to feed the steadily increasing European population. This change fueled both the Agricultural and Industrial Revolutions. With more job opportunities, the European people took advantage of having multiple children because now they could provide more for their family. These fundamental
The population of this time period was increasing. Everything was
Also, the death rate was only slightly lower than the birth rate. Lastly, war affected the death rate because it spread disease as soldiers shared diseases with others. In the 1700s, the population started to increase significantly because there was a decline in the amount of deaths as the bubonic plague went away.
The human population rate has changed throughout the ages. By looking at the table we were given the human population has increased heaps from 2000 years ago. If we look at our ancestors they lived with a small existence but this has changed as we have developed and there is more agriculture in this world. Population grew very slowly in the 1000 A.D. also decreased after the Black Death causing large numbers of people wiped out. Then in the 1800 A.D. the industrial revolution came, soon living standards were raised and there was food shortage with the population. In 1927 medicine was introduced this meant that there was increased life expectancy, so the human population grew more. There was more advantages from agriculture, medicine and sanitation
The demographic changes were evident, from 791 million in 1750 to 1.7 billion in 1900. This demographic ‘jump’ took place because agricultural inventions such as mechanical reaper, chemical fertilizers, and refrigerators increased the food productions, thus leading to higher birth rate and lower death rate. With an increasing population, people started migrating from rural to urban regions to find work and to have a stable life. However, not only the changes existed. Since all people were not wealthy, most of them still lived in impoverished conditions even after a great deal of development during the Industrial Revolution.
Some towns had their populations lower as more people met other people from other towns, some towns’ populations went higher as people moved from bigger towns to the smaller towns. This in turn made the population grow overall as if someone had not married someone and had children, they could meet someone in another town and have children, making the population grow. With a growing population, more food was needed. This meant that farmers and other food producing workers had to produce more food, which was made possible because of trains and railways. Having more food was another reason that the population grew.
On quality of life, European population nearly doubled its size, which led/is tied to growth of agricultural villages, towns, cities and the increase of arable land. Population boomed due to increased sense of security from more peaceful and stable conditions following the end of invasions that took place during the Early Middle Ages. Another reason for
There are numerous underlying factors brought by the industrial revolution that contributed to this rapid growth in human population. First is the agricultural advancement during the industrial revolution. The development of crop rotation and irrigation technologies increased crop yield and made food more available to people. With abundant amount of food, human population could grow quickly with less people starving to death. Additionally, medical advances during the industrial revolution played a significant role in the burst of the human population. Through the invention of penicillin by Andrew Fleming and pasteurization by Pasteur, less people died due to diseases caused by bacteria and viruses. In other words, diseases that were incurable became curable through the use of anti-biotic such as penicillin that killed most bacteria. Foods, especially milk, became cleaner and more sanitary through the use of pasteurization. Also, the invention of anesthesia made surgeries more applicable. This advancement in medical technologies saved more lives thus human population could grow more rapidly during the era of Industrial Revolution. Not only there were medical advancements, sanitary conditions also improved as a result of the Industrial Revolution. In particular, the invention of soap led to improved hygiene of the people, which led to less deaths and growth in human population. Lastly, people were given more opportunities during the
When populations being to rise, that rise is mostly seen in larger urban areas or in some cases, more rural communities. Often times, or even in the future, more rural areas are beginning to grow into smaller urban communities. When more people begin to live in more densely populated areas, the use of resources as well as chances of negative effects from disaster also rise. A big thing that government, religious, and even cultural institutions can do to aid growing populations is through education. This comes in the way of resource education as well as health and welfare. This can take some of the strain off government
Population trends have varied greatly over the course of U.S. history, as well as the dynamics that impact governmental and fiscal decisions. The evolution of the age structure of a population and the leading causes of death of that population are key determinants for establishing a plan for future financial sustainability and successful delivery of health care to that population.
With the introduction of agricultural and the rise of the Industrial Revolution, living standards have been elevated, while epidemics and famine have been diminished (prb.org). Ever since the 18th century, the human race has only continued to make improvements. For example, in the medical field. The creation of vaccines, medicine, and an increased knowledge of the spread of diseases have all helped to eliminate common causes of death, leading to overpopulation. Not only is overpopulation caused by an accelerated number of births, but it is also due to a decrease in the number of deaths, with 360,000 people are being born every day and only 151,600 deaths a day
An increase in human population can influence our economy. Some of the factors that are affected are unemployment, poverty and the restriction of economic expansion. When the population increases, the cost of health, education,
