How to deal with a falling population

Posted by Matt in July 30th, 2007

Worries about a population explosion have been replaced by fears of decline.

Think of twentysomethings as a single workforce, the best educated there is. In Japan (see article), that workforce will shrink by a fifth in the next decade—a considerable loss of knowledge and skills. At the other end of the age spectrum, state pensions systems face difficulties now, when there are four people of working age to each retired person. By 2030, Japan and Italy will have only two per retiree; by 2050, the ratio will be three to two. An ageing, shrinking population poses problems in other, surprising ways. The Russian army has had to tighten up conscription because there are not enough young men around. In Japan, rural areas have borne the brunt of population decline, which is so bad that one village wants to give up and turn itself into an industrial-waste dump.

Dangerous Demographics
Over the next few decades, the developed world will age and weaken. Meanwhile, demographic trends in the developing world-from resurgent youth booms in the Islamic Belt to premature aging in China and population implosion in Russia-will give rise to daunting new security threats. While some argue that "global aging" is pushing the world toward greater peace and prosperity, a crisis looms in the 2020s. The risks of both chaotic state collapse and neo-authoritarian reaction are rising. Neither the triumph of democratic capitalism nor a "geriatric peace" are the most likely outcomes. The demographic trends of the 21st century will challenge the geopolitical idealism of both the right and the left. In a wide-ranging analysis of the dynamics of population and power, Richard Jackson and Neil...

Eszter Hargittai, Assistant Professor of Communication Studies and Sociology, and Faculty Associate of the Institute for Policy Research at Northwestern University, was the guest speaker this week at the Berkman Center's Luncheon Series. Hargittai presented a new study using a unique data set on young adults' Internet uses, skills and participation. She looked at differences in daily digital media uses by type of user background, access and skill level. While all young adults in the sample regularly use the Internet, there are systematic variations in their familiarity with the Web and who does what online.

Changing Demographics and the Education Gap
The demographic landscape of the United States has shifted dramatically in the last decade or so. The proportion of the population that is at a school and college-going age is at the highest it has been in a long time. In addition, the ethnic background of students has also changed significantly. Because of this, the educational gap today is more pronounced than it has ever been. In 1990, Hispanics represented about 10 per cent of the total high school and college student population. By 2015 this figure is expected to have risen to a massive 21 per cent. In the same time-frame, the Asians student population is expected to increase from three percent to six percent. Statistics also show that Asians are more likely to advance to third level education than students from any other ethnic...
