Lieber Kurs,
Auch in der kommenden Woche beschäftigen wir uns mit Entwicklung in einer ungleichen Welt. In diesem Sinne
sollt ihr die Auswirkungen von demographischen (Bevölkerungs-) Veränderungen untersuchen.
Wie immer gilt: die Lösungen befinden sich weiter unten und Fragen gerne jederzeit an [email protected]

Solutions for last time
Solutions: Case Study Indonesia
Task 1
Social problems: worse living conditions for many Indonesians, migration from rural areas to the
cities, growing group of the urban poor, hunger, poverty, rising criminality in the cities, population
density problems in the cities
Environmental problems: rising pressure on scarce agricultural resources (especially Java), increasing
space for farming was needed, large impact of slash-and-burn agriculture, soil degradation,
destruction of rainforests
Economic problems: supply shortfalls in rural areas.
Task 2
Indonesia's total population has been growing from 100.3 million people in 1965 to 257.6 million in
2015. Although this is a dramatic increase in the total numbers, the growth rate has been steadily
decreasing in the same period from 2.7 to 1.21 %. This is mainly due to a falling fertility rate.
Whereas in 1965 there were 5.6 children per woman, this number has dropped to 2.4 in 2015. It is
problematic that the agricultural area per capita is decreasing and the urban population is still
increasing. In 2015, more than half of the population lives in cities.
Task 3
Fewer people mean less pressure on the environment, the cities, and the economy. Hence, less
money would be needed to feed all Indonesians and to educate all Indonesian children. Better
education can then result in better (paying) jobs and widespread health and well-being. This in turn
leads to economic growth. At the same time, decreasing pressure on natural and agricultural
resources can lead to the preservation of natural ecosystems as well as security and conservation of
water, air, food, and energy.
