Population

In common usage, population is defined as the total number of individuals in a given group or community who are all related by some common factor. The definition of population can be broken down into three levels; single population, general population and finite population. Single population usually refers to all people living in one locality whereas general population typically consists of all people from any geographical area and a finite population includes those only who live within an area. Two major forms of general population are classified into two groups depending on the degree of association and the scale of data is collected with it. For instance, there are 50000 households of size 500 in urban areas in United State and if we have 2 other cities then it would be a large population and a small population which includes a limited range in size. This means that its just like having a big village with many houses, but for a smaller region in urban areas. General population may vary across different states of the country, depending upon their economic, cultural, social and political factors.

Examples of single population

Biology - Human beings are a unique species of animals. They belong to a particular genus, subfamily, family. It is not uncommon to find a few thousand people sharing this house. There are thousands people sharing this room in our village which makes us a dense community of humans.

Culture - Culture refers to a set of customs, beliefs, values, and modes of life developed over a period of time along with traditions of social interactions, relationships, and social institutions which make a person adapt to it. A society is made up of a lot of people with various cultures and backgrounds. Culture has become a part of each citizen. If we consider every neighbourhood of Mumbai or Bangalore, chances are, people coming from nearby places are likely to follow some practices of culture which varies in each corner. So, one cannot say that a particular community consists of a specific culture, it is more like a cluster culture. Culture also varies between religions, regions, communities etc.

History - History is the study of humanity to know where human beings came from, how they achieved civilization and how they moved further. We are surrounded by lots of historical facts about our ancient ancestors. These historical events helped us understand where we came from through stories, music, literature and artefacts.

Economy - Economy refers to the methods of exploitation and production which is basically considered as a measure of the welfare of human beings. People rely heavily on economics to get the best possible results. An efficient economy means that it contributes to development, productivity, and efficiency. Economic growth is directly proportional to increase in national income. To build a sustainable and prosperous country requires proper planning to sustain poverty-stricken citizens.

Natural Resources - Natural resources refer to biological properties such as minerals, nutrients and water among others which are found in earth’s surface area. All natural resources can be used by man for either profit or development. Some of them include soil, air, water, energy, land, and air etc.

Example of one household(Islamabad)

People come from different ethnic groups, age groups, races and other differences. But everything can be shared by most of these groups and therefore, they all need to share a common way of dressing, language, religion and cuisine. When we talk about different languages, religious faith and culture, it becomes evident that the same community can be divided into separate parts as well. However for example a city’s residents can identify themselves according to their race, cultural background and ethnicity. Now people belonging to some religious faith such as Muslims, Hinduism, Sikhism, Christianity they may share similar ways of dressing such as their religious festivals or customs. Similarly even a person can be identified based on his/her social background as well as personality. Therefore, if you have two people in your neighbourhood, let us say Muslims and Hindus and two more people from another religion such as Christians and Jews, then one person from both the group can be identified as “Hindu Muslim” while the other as “Christian Christian”.

Finite population

Finite population refers to the size of a population on which one can calculate how much human beings and nonhuman species that reside in the surroundings of a place. Such populations can be estimated through census count, census tract, residential area, settlement patterns etc.

Example of two countries

In India, China's population is approximately 939 million. As far as Australia, its estimated 616 million people are present in the world. Hence, its population can reach up to 700 million in next 10 years. According to recent statistics, India’s population is growing faster than China’s. Both the countries show rapid increase in population, hence the future is uncertain. 

Population in china

According to World Bank, Chinese population grew from 59.7 million in 1980 to 111.4 million in 2015. At the same time, China GDP grew from $ 4.3 trillion in 1980 to $ 19.8 trillion in 2013. This implies that its overall development rate has increased consistently since 1970s. From the above analysis, it can be inferred that the population of china is steadily increasing because its GDP is doubling.

Population in UK

The average UK population has grown over the past decade, reaching 7.58 million in 2011, the largest increase during the last four decades. The median UK gender ratio increased from 1:10 to 1:9 in 2012 to 1:10 in 2013. Furthermore, the birth rate of males increased from 12.0 per 100,000 females in 2010 to 13.9 in 2013.
