IGCSE Geography 0460 – Pro-Natalist and Anti-Natalist Policies

A fully resourced, student-centred lesson designed for the Cambridge IGCSE Geography (0460) Changing Populations topic (new syllabus – first examinations 2027).

This enquiry-based lesson moves beyond traditional note-taking and places students in the role of government advisers, investigating real demographic challenges and evaluating whether population policies have been successful.

Students analyse population problems, investigate international case studies and make evidence-based recommendations about how governments should respond to changing fertility rates.

Lesson Content
Starter Activity

Students analyse population data from Japan and Niger to identify:

Population decline
Population growth
Future demographic challenges
The Population Policy Challenge

Students investigate why governments intervene in population change.

Using demographic data, students identify challenges associated with:

Ageing populations
Shrinking workforces
Rapid population growth

Population Policies Around the World Investigation

Students become experts on one of four countries:

France
Japan
China
Singapore

Students investigate:

Long-term impacts
Policy Marketplace Activity

A collaborative marketplace activity where students teach each other about all four population policies.

Students compare:

Pro-natalist policies
Anti-natalist policies

Students physically position themselves on a continuum:

VERY SUCCESSFUL ←────────────→ VERY UNSUCCESSFUL

Using evidence from the case studies, students justify and defend their evaluations.

Students must use evidence from:

France
