Divorce and the Great Recession

0

pewsocialtrends.org –

Trends such as baby booms, declines in marriage rates or changes in immigration patterns usually unfold over decades. But events like the Great Recession have the power to accelerate the pace, which is why there is a small explosion of research these days into its impacts. There’s been a recent surge of interest in the topic of whether and how the poor economy has an impact on divorce rates. As with marriage rates and the economic downturn, the evidence is not clear-cut.Divorces fell during the more...

The Asia-Pacific Human Development Report 2012

0

Asia-Pacific not only has many of the world’s most climate-exposed territories, it is also home to millions of the most vulnerable people. The unprecedented pace and scale of human activities have been transforming the natural environment and contributing to climate change. Emissions cross borders, and so do some of the most affected natural systems, such as glaciers, coral reefs and mangroves. Some of these natural systems that act as natural buffers to the impacts of climate change are more...

2030: The “Perfect Storm” Scenario

0

populationinstitute.org –

Demographers project that fertility rates will continue to decline, but that the world’s population will increase from 6.8 billion to 8.3 billion by 2030. We can also anticipate that the demand for grain will continue to rise as global population grows and a rising middle class desires more meat and dairy products. Similarly, we can project today that the total demand for energy will increase as a result of economic growth in China, India, and other rapidly developing nations. We also know that more...

The elderly and old age support in rural China: Challenges and prospects

0

openknowledge.worldbank.org –

Although average incomes in China have risen dramatically since the 1980s, concerns are increasing that the rural elderly have not benefited from growth to the same extent as younger people and the urban elderly. Concerns about welfare of the rural elderly combine spatial and demographic issues. Large gaps exist between conditions in coastal and interior regions and between conditions in urban and rural areas of the country. In addition to differences in income by geography, considerable more...

Population and failing states: Pakistan

0

populationinstitute.org –

Failing nations, almost without exception, have high population growth rates. Foreign Policy and the Fund for Peace publish an annual ranking of failed states. All of the top ten countries in the 2009 Failed States Index have total fertility rates (the average number of children born by a woman over her lifetime) substantially higher than the global average (2.6). Six of them had TFRs of 5.0 or higher. High fertility rates are often associated with high maternal and infant mortality rates. more...

From 6 billion to 7 billion: How population growth is changing and challenging our world

0

populationinstitute.org –

Since 1999 world population has grown from 6 billion to 7 billion. For the fourth time in the past half century, 1 billion people were added to the planet in 14 years or less. But what does that mean for human well-being and the fate of the planet? If the U.S. and other donor nations fulfill the commitments made at the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development, the goal of universal access to family planning and other reproductive health services can yet be achieved, and doing more...

Barely half of U.S. adults are married – a record low

0

pewsocialtrends.org –

Barely half of all adults in the United States - a record low - are currently married, and the median age at first marriage has never been higher for brides (26.5 years) and grooms (28.7). In 1960, 72% of all adults ages 18 and older were married; today just 51% are. If current trends continue, the share of adults who are currently married will drop to below half within a few years. Other adult living arrangements - including cohabitation, single-person households and single parenthood - have more...

Population Aging and the Generational Economy

0

idl-bnc.idrc.ca –

The goal of this study is to improve our understanding of how changes in population age structure are influencing national economies. Until recently changes in age structure were favorable for most countries as populations became increasingly concentrated in the working ages. Effectively addressing the economic challenges of population aging is especially difficult, for two reasons. The first is that countries cannot rely exclusively on their own experience because in any given country changes more...
