内容説明
Everywhere in the world, populations of largely European origin are currently experiencing not only their lowest-ever fertility levels, but what seem likely to be their longest ever period of fertility at below-replacement levels. Although it is generally assumed that the fertilities of these countries will return to replacement levels after 2025 AD there is at present no empirical evidence to support this hope. The inevitable demographic results of this fertility pattern are an older age structure and a decline in numbers. Such a combination will create labour shortage and wage inflation; it might also lead to weakened national defence and the disappearance of European peoples and culture. "The Future of Low Birth-Rate Populations" assesses the demographic situation, the likely policy alternatives, the significance of future changes in fertility and mortality rates and analyzes the likely losses and gains attendant upon an ageing, dwindling people. This book should be of interest to postgraduates, academics and researchers of demography, gerontology and sociology.
