Demographic changes Continued_The developed countries 1.wmv

This video covers the debate contemporary demographic trends in developed countries of North America, Western Europe, Japan, Australia and New Zealand to consider. These countries have reached or are not the last stage of demographic movement. They face a future of slow or negative population growth. The video describes the effects of this phenomenon refers to the "social contract" (transfers from people who work for pensioners), economic growthPerspectives, and the texture of social and cultural life. I argue that the difficulties these countries face probably as demanding as those with which countries are still in rapid population growth. During the video, I mean an important new book by Richard Jackson and Neil Howe, "graying of the Great Powers: Demography and Geopolitics in the 21st Century (CSIS, 2008). Some might familiar with Neil Howe, co-author of many books, that integration and demographichistorical perspectives, including "Generations and take the fourth." I am among those who can not buy everything in Howe's thesis that there is something called a "generational personality" and follows a cyclical pattern. It 's always a good book to produce more. And for those who by all this talk of demographics (as well as those who are not) are bored, I'd recommend a really great Islay single malt at the end of the last part.
