Ageing, Overpopulation & Underpopulation (Year 7 Geography)

Lesson Summary
Today we will explore how different countries face very different population challenges. Pupils begin by looking back at County Durham, then investigate why populations grow ‘old’ and compare life in Japan and Niger to understand contrasting demographic pressures. By the end of the lesson, pupils will be able to explain the causes and consequences of ageing populations, recognise signs of overpopulation and underpopulation, and evaluate how these challenges affect people’s daily lives.

What’s Included

  • Full PowerPoint lesson with clear modelling and engaging visuals
  • Worksheet task: Analyse then categorise social challenges facing Japan and Niger today
  • Peer and group discussion opportunities
  • In‑lesson tasks developing comparison skills, demographic interpretation, and understanding of global population pressures
  • Engaging materials designed in your premium, minimalist style
