POPULATION GROWTH Sample Clauses

POPULATION GROWTH.  The growth of a population is exponential, therefore it is compounded year-on-year. Example: At the start of a bacterial culture there are 5 organisms. How many organisms will be present in the culture after 20 minutes, if the population grows at a rate of 10% per minute? A  P (1  i) n A  5(1  0,10 ) 20 A  33,64 A  33 EXCHANGE RATES  Remember! The higher the exchange rate, the weaker the value of your money e.g. R8,50 : $1 R12,50 12,50 Example: Xxxxx is on a trip to England to visit her family. The current rand/pound exchange rate is R12,50 to the British pound. She has R20 000 to spend in England. How many pounds does she have to spend in England? 1£ = R12, 50 1£ divided by R12, 50 = £ 0, 08 = R1 £ 0, 08 20 000 = R1 20 000 £ 1600 = R20 000 14 Xxxxx has £1600 to spend in England. EXERCISE

POPULATION GROWTH. Table 13.1 compares population growth for all three projections to 2020. In all cases, population is forecast to increase from 114,500 in 1971 to 162,000 in 1980 at an annual growth rate of 3.9%. This growth rate, which is somewhat slower than that experienced during the 1966-71 period is based on the assumption that the pace of economic investment will decline following the termination of the industrial incentives program in 1971. After 1980, population growth under Projection I is expected to increase to 262,000 by the year 2000 (2.4% per annum) and to 391,000 by 2020 (2.0% per annum). In Projection II. the simulated industrial incentives program for the Okanagan is forecast to attract an additional 22,000 people to the valley by 2000 compared to Projection I, and thereafter population is projected to grow at a similar rate as Projection I, resulting in total population of 430,000 by 2020. Despite assumptions designed to slow down population growth through curtailing industrial expansion in Projection III, population totals in 2000 are expected to total 237,000, only 25,000 fewer than the total for Projection I in the same year. By 2020 however, a more significant decline is forecast resulting in 101,000 fewer residents compared to Projection I. It is worth re-emphasizing that these to.ta1s may over- estimate possible population growth should attempts be made to control employment opportunities. For all projections, immigration patterns were estimated since this could be an important factor in population growth due to the region's popularity as a retirement area.

POPULATION GROWTH. The effect of population growth on waste generation has never been in doubt. Studies conducted by in the past revealed that there is a positive correlation between waste generation and population growth (Kperegbeyi, 2009). The effect of high population growth on underground water bodies as a result of improper handling of solid waste leading to leachate contaminating the water bodies has also been investigated. Okwunodulu reported higher contamination as a result of higher amount of waste generated in high population density areas (2008). Future planning of disposal system, effective mapping out of collection system and route, correct estimation of quantities of waste generation are all influenced by population growth. Effective collection, disposal and managing of solid waste therefore require the knowledge of the population and the population growth rate of the particular region. The following indicators are proposed: Migration (in percent) Population growth in especially urban areas is due largely to migration of people from rural or less deprived areas to the perceived more economically empowered areas. The effect of migration on urban areas is the springing up of slums in the outskirt of the urban areas. These slums often lacking amenities are poorly planned and constructed buildings and have limited access to routes. Education (in percent) The educational level of the population is another important criterion of population growth. Highly educated people are noted to give birth to fewer children as opposed to people with no or little education. The highly educated class also tend to understand and appreciate waste management issues better than the illiterate ones. Type of waste generated is also known to differ significantly in homes of highly literate class than those of illiterate. The combined effect of literacy and higher income levels usually leads to lower per capital waste generation whiles in terms of organic fraction, lower numbers are generated (Afon, 2007). A basic classification will be the number of people educated (%). A more elaborate classification will be the level of education attained: • No education at all (%) • Basic level (%) • Secondary/technical level (%) • University/tertiary level (%) • Advanced university degree (Msc/MPhil/PhD) (%) Life expectancy at birth (%) Life expectancy at birth indicates the number of years a newborn would live if the general rules of mortality at the time of its birth were to stay the same throughout...
