Now you know: In 2021 Sweden's mortality rate was at least 3-times the USA's in infancy and from age 23 to 53. From 33 to 43 Americans died at more than 4-times the rate of Swedes. #demography#population#publichealth
Here's a graph of the growth in human population globally over the past 2024 years. I updated it this morning for a first-year lecture. On it I mark the years my grandparents and parents were born, when I was born, and when my teenage daughter was born.
I still find it hard to grasp just how quickly and massively the human population has exploded. There's 6 billion(!!!) more people on the planet today than when my grandparents were born.
Following a petition by the Center for Biological Diversity and allies, the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission just voted to protect Southern Resident #orcas under the state's #EndangeredSpeciesAct. Now state agencies will have to develop concrete actions addressing the major threats to orcas there, including ocean #pollution.
ICYMI: Southern Resident orcas are a critically endangered killer whale #population off the Pacific Northwest that's down to 74 individuals. These orcas are genetically unique, communicate in their own #dialect, and eat mainly Chinook salmon. They're also protected by Washington state and, thanks to our work, the federal Endangered Species Act.
Growing up, Mimi felt ashamed because she wasn’t like other #girls, but a chance discovery at 21 changed that. >>>
When she was first told about the enzyme deficiency, she says she was "reassured that I was...a girl, but that I just couldn't do the things that typical girls could do. I was also told that I couldn't tell my siblings or friends about this."
There are over 30 intersex variations with varying degrees of impact. For some, intersex features are noticeable from birth, while others don’t realise until they try for children. For more information, read:
Remember this when elon et al talk about a "population crisis" in the US. It's not even real for white people, but what they mean is still "REEEE BREED MORE HUWITES"
Good Morning #Canada
Immigration policy is daily news but we should recognize that Canada is a big empty country. (Insert echo)
Sure 90% of us live within 100 miles of the U.S. border, and all levels of government currently suck at building housing. But we rank low in population density with each square kilometer having approximately 4 people.
Compared with:
Russia: 9/km²
USA: 36/km²
China: 146/km²
India: 412/km²
Fewer Koreans are getting married due to rising costs of weddings and apartment rentals. In this context, the decrease in marriages may be the leading cause of the country's falling birthrate since most couples only have children after marrying.
"Most people are familiar with the large density centers around Hong Kong, Guangzhou, and Shanghai, but the concentration in central China is surprising. The cities of Chengdu and Chonqing, in the Sichuan Basin, are part of a massive population center."
