Stage 4: Contracting
Stage 4 of the DTM is also showing a developed country. The birth rate is lower than the death rate because of low fertility higher education. This stage also has a long life expectancy.
Stage 1: Early Expanding
Stage 1 of the DTM is the representation of a developing country with a high birth rate but also an equally high death rate. This means that the health care system is very poor and there is a short life expectancy.
Stage 2: Expanding
Stage 2 of the DTM is also a representation of a developing country. The birth rate is still high while the death rate has a sudden drop; which indicates an improvement in health but still has its fair share of problems.
Stage 3: Stable
Stage 3 of the DTM is representing a developed country. The birth rate and death rates are balanced and the life expectancy is long. Since it is a developed nation, women are more educated which results in fewer children and smaller families.
Between the 3 cohorts from the ages of 5-19, the 2nd cohort is noticeably smaller. Throughout the 3 cohorts it goes out to in to out. The amount of 5-9 year olds and 15-19 year olds is closer together size wise, and the amount of 10-14 year olds is significantly smaller.
Algerian Civil War- December 26th, 1991- February 8th, 2002
Birth Rate- # of births/ 1000 people
Death Rate- # of deaths/ 1000 people
Infant Mortality- # of infant deaths/ 1000 live births
Literacy- percent of population that read and write
Education Expenditures- amount of $ spent on
education
School Life Expectancy- the # of years a person is
educated for
Health Expenditures- amount of $ spent on education
Drinking Water Source- Improved: access to clean
water
Unimproved: no access to
clean water
The possible cause for the shortened smaller cohorts is the Algerian Civil War. This war resulted in many, many deaths and this may have been why the cohorts were reduced though the ages of 5-19.
From the age of 25 and onward, the pyramid follows a pattern of an expanding population pyramid. It begins to go in and there are less and less people as the ages increase.
It is important for a dependency ratio to be low because if a country has a high dependency ratio, that means people between the ages of 15-64 (the working age) are forced to work sooner in their lives for a longer period of time to support the dependent age groups (0-14 and 65+). With a low dependency ratio, it also means that the population would be stable because there isn't a crazy size difference between the age cohorts. Most developing countries have a very high dependency ratio while developed nations tend to have lower ones. This proves that it is important to have a low dependency ratio because it also contributes to creating more industrialized, healthy nations around the world.
0-14 years = 28.75%
15-24 years = 16.64%
25-54 years = 42.84%
55-64 years = 6.42%
65+ years = 5.35%
Algeria has a big working age percentage of 65.9% so there is over 50% of the population working.
Birth Rate- 10.28 births/ 1000
people
Death Rate- 8.42 deaths/ 1000 people
Infant Mortality- 4.65 deaths/ 1000 live births
Literacy- 99% of total population
Education Expenditures- 5.3% of GDP
School Life Expectancy- 17 years
Health Expenditures- 10.9% of GDP
Drinking Water Source-
improved: 99.8% of population
unimproved: 0.2% of population
Birth Rate- 23.67 births/ 1000 people
Death Rate- 4.31 deaths/ 1000 people
Infant Mortality- 20.98/ 1000 live births
Literacy- 80.2% of total population
Education Expenditures- 4.3% of GDP
School Life Expectancy- 14 years
Health Expenditures- 6.6% of GDP
Drinking Water Source-
improved: 83.6% of population
unimproved: 16.4% of population
Algeria's dependency ratio (percent that is dependent) is 34.1%. This means that under 40% of the population is dependent on percentage of the population that is of working age.
Algeria is currently in the late expanding/beginning of the stable stage of the DTM and the goal is to get it to the stable stage and gain a stable population. In order to get there, there are a couple things the country would need to improve on. First, they would have to improve their health care system because the population pyramid starts to go inwards around the age of 30, which means there are less and less people. These people most likely died of preventable diseases and with better health care, some of these diseases could be prevented. The country could also better educate women so they can make an even better life for themselves and their families. Ensuring clean drinking water would also better the Algerian population and be another way to prevent the spread of diseases. In conclusion, if Algeria aims to achieve Canada's figures, they must try their best to improve upon their country through the suggestions above. If everyone in Algeria really puts in an effort to better their nation, they will be able to change their ranking from an expanding population to a strong, stable one.
