問題二: 人口普查的用途?
The government needs to know the population of the country in order to govern it. In the most basic example, representation in congress is based on the population of each state. If you don't know the population of each state, you can't represent them fairly. Knowing the demographics of each area also helps plan things like school funding, planning for social security, and determining healthcare needs. The Constitution actually requires counting the population; it's not a conspiracy.


問題五: 影響人口分布的因素?
Geographic factors that influence population distribution are mountains, rivers, lakes, oceans, areas prone to flooding, availability of fresh water, altitude, deserts, valleys, geographic isolation/location & climate.


問題 八:人口遷移 的「推、拉力」的例子 ?
Push and pull factors are those factors which either forcefully push people into migration or attract them. A push factor is forceful, and a factor which relates to the country from which a person migrates. It is generally some problem which results in people wanting to migrate. Different types of push factors can be seen further below. A push factor is a flaw or distress that drives a person away from a certain place. A pull factor is something concerning the country to which a person migrates. It is generally a benefit that attracts people to a certain place.

-Job positions

-Climate can be a factor sometimes
-Transportation
-Food production
-Technology…


問題七: 人口老化的問題?
An ageing population is where the ratio of elderly dependants (old people) to the economically active (adults with jobs) is increased.
The problems are:
-- the economically active population has to support a growing elderly dependent population.
-- As people get older, they need more and more healthcare, so,
-- There is increased strain on the health service and other services.
-- More people are drawing money from the state than are actively paying into it.
-- There are fewer people willing to do the unpleasant jobs associated with working with the elderly, ex: working in a care home, but more elderly people so these jobs are needed more.
