NCERT Class 12 Geo Ch 3 | POPULATION COMPOSITION | Sex Ratio & Age Structure Analysis

Welcome to Simplified UPSC by पठति पठत: पठन्ति! In this comprehensive discussion, we'll delve deep into NCERT Class 12 Geography, Chapter 3: Population Composition (जनसंख्या संघटन).

This lecture meticulously covers the crucial concepts from "Fundamentals of Human Geography," analyzing how population characteristics like age, gender, residence, and occupation reflect a nation's socio-economic reality and future potential, essential for UPSC GS Paper 1.

We explore the definition and global patterns of Sex Composition (Sex Ratio), analyzing why certain regions (like Europe) have higher female ratios while others (like Asia) see a male bias, linking this to migration and social factors. We dissect Age Structure, defining Working Population (15-59 years) and Dependency Ratio. A critical segment focuses on Population Pyramids (Expanding, Stable, Declining) and their connection to the Demographic Transition Model. Finally, we examine Rural-Urban Composition, Literacy, and the Occupational Structure (Primary, Secondary, Tertiary, Quaternary sectors) as indicators of economic development.
