KS3 Geography — Our Global Population — Full Worksheet

🌍 Build deep understanding of global population with this complete, no-prep 100-mark worksheet — ready to use for lessons, homework, or revision. Global population change is driven by the balance between birth rates and death rates, which vary widely between countries due to factors like healthcare and living standards, and this resource covers it in depth for KS3 students aged 11–14.

📦 What's included:

Structured across three sections of progressive difficulty:

Section 1 (30 marks) — key definitions, multiple choice on birth rate, death rate, natural increase and decrease, a matching activity, a true/false table, and fill-in-the-blank on the causes of the population explosion

Section 2 (40 marks) — definition questions, a factor-categorisation table, a short answer question on low income countries and high birth rates, a data response task using world population milestone figures, and a 12-mark extended answer on population growth before 1700 AD versus after 1800 AD

Section 3 (30 marks) — three extended evaluation tasks: assessing whether wealth is the main factor controlling birth rate, analysing why wealthy European countries like Italy and Germany still have high death rates, and evaluating whether a declining global population would be beneficial or harmful

Full answer key with detailed marking guidance included.
