,Migration is the movement of people from one Propaganda Australian propaganda was designed to maintain public anger about German atrocities and idealise Australian soldiers. Germany’s invasion of Belgium meant that German forces were easily portrayed as the aggressors in the conflict. inhuman and monstrous.

China media: One-child policy 18 November 2013Last updated at 00:50 ET Papers praise relaxation in China's one-child policy Media welcome reforms to relax the one-child policy and abolish a controversial labour camp system, but raise concerns over their effectiveness. A new plan allowing couples in China to have two children if one of the parents is an only child is continuing to reverberate through the media since its announcement on Friday. The measures are part of the resolutions released after the ruling Communist Party Central Committee's third plenum in Beijing last week. The one-child policy was enforced in the late 1970s to bring down a rapidly-growing population. The policy was later ease to allow couples to have two children if they were both without siblings. "This is a positive measure that will not only deal with the demographic dividend decline, labour shortages and other issues, but also help to build a strong social security and pension system," says the Beijing Times.

Ageing China: Changes and challenges China's fertility rate - the average number of children a woman has in their lifetime - is 1.6, which is lower than the rate in the UK and the US. The Chinese government believes the one-child policy curtailed population growth, and that it prevented 400 million extra births. The BBC asked Cai Yong, a population expert at the University of North Carolina, to estimate what the country's population growth would have been without the one-child policy. His findings suggest that China's fertility would have declined at a similar rate without the one-child policy and would continue to decline even if the policy was discarded. How did the one-child policy affect population levels? Cai Yong writes: The UN's Population Division and statisticians from the University of Washington developed a set of sophisticated models to predict a country's future fertility based on its fertility change history and fertility trends in all other countries.
Introduction This resource pack describes and explains what are the global patterns of population change through: interpretation of world population distribution interpretation of the demographic transition model interpretation of differing population structures These materials support the Global Citizenship and Interdependence element of the WJEC GCSE geography (A - mainstream) specification, in particular the key question "What are the global patterns of population change?" The materials also offer the learning experiences of interpreting maps and graphs. Animation and graphics are used to show the dynamic nature of population change.
