From the GELO 3 worksheet activity (attached!), the video World in the Balance (see video I put at the end!), and additional resources as needed, such as the CIA Factbook  https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world…  or the US Census Bureau International Database available here: http://www.census.gov/population/international/dat… 

Please answer the following questions: 

1.   What are the key issues (environmental, resource, social, and/or governmental) that are influencing the population patterns for China and Japan? Would a demographer in 1975 have been able to make accurate predictions for 2016? (8 points)

2.   What environmental, resource, and public policies are influencing the population pyramid patterns for Kenya and the United States? (8 points)

3.   Discuss the data in Table 3. Energy Use and Population (from the worksheet).How does the data presented in the table suggest that the problem of over-population involves more than a simple increase in the number of people?  What else, besides the size of the population should be considered when discussing resource use? How can the factors and changes noted be expected to affect malnutrition and hunger? (9 points)
