What number are you?

So, someone close to me saw this. Being the true geographer that I am of course I had to look at it!!!!!!!!

So what number are you?

When I was born, apparently I was the 4,695,788,505th person born!

What does your number mean to you?

Does population growth worry you?

Year 10 - this is your time to shine!!!!!!!!! Show us what you know... go on, I dare you to make a comment!

Population Dynamics... ageing populations

Welcome back to Eltham Hill's Geography Blog - I'm sorry I have not updated for so long. So much to do, so little time to do it!

Anyway, I thought I would start off, hopefully updating once a day with things that will be useful for my students.

My new year ten group, who are so far lovely, are studying population dynamics. Here are two very interesting articles I saw on the BBC website earlier. China's pension system waltzes into crisis: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-11288492##

Ageing populations and fewer workers strain pensions: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-11281670

Please think about what futher problems an ageing/youthful population may bring.

Good stuff, over and out for now!
