	Population decline - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In demography population decline is a temporal reduction in a region's census.
		The effects of a declining population can be adverse for an economy which has borrowed extensively for repayment by younger generations; however, a smaller human population has a positive impact on the environment and biodiversity.
		Problems associated with declining population are not irreversible or as severe as overpopulation.

	POPULATION
		The population of the less developed regions is projected to rise steadily from 4.9 billion in 2000 to 8.2 billion in 2050.
		Declines in early marriage and early childbearing in most regions of the world (exceptions to this overall pattern—for example, in 3 of 5 countries in Southern Asia and 11 of 30 countries in sub-Saharan Africa).
		Population experts are less than optimistic about future rapid declines in Africa's birth rates, given the interplay of poverty, illiteracy, and patterns of contraceptive use.

	Who's Afraid of Declining Population? by Anthony Browne (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
		Population decline is usually associated with economic decline, political turmoil, famine and disease-but that is not because it causes them, rather because it is caused by them.
		Population decline also leaves fewer children to support, train and educate for the first 20 economically unproductive years of their lives.
		However, a declining population-and this is why businesses fear it-will involve a gradual but significant redistribution of power from the owners of capital to the owners of labor.

		According to the projections, Italy is expected to lose 28% of its population by 2050, the steepest decline of the countries covered by the report.
		The UK would be able to keep its population steady up to 2050 by raising immigration from an average of 73,000 a year to 88,000.
		Paul Demeny, of the Population Council think-tank in New York, said a declining population was not necessarily a problem.

	Will declining birthrate hurt Japan?
		Ato argued that the nation's shrinking population and the increasing average age of the people as a result of the declining birthrate would reduce economic growth and hamper the adaptability and creativity of the labor force.
		Fujimasa, however, insisted that the decreasing population was an inevitable development arising from fewer births and fewer deaths--not a decline in the birthrate.
		The decline must be attributed to the large number of aging people who are projected to die during the period.

	population. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		In world terms, the population is growing at about 1.2% annually (compared with 0.1% in ancient times and a rate of 1.75% as recently as the 1990s) in population.
		A declining birthrate depends to a large extent on the availability and use of birth control and on high living standards that make unnecessary the production of additional children to provide necessary and inexpensive labor.
		In the United States, aspects of the population question, such as birth control and abortion, are among the most bitterly debated subjects.

	Hoover Institution - Policy Review - Demographics and the Culture War
		Given the roots of population decline in the core characteristics of postmodern life, Longman understands that the endless downward spiral cannot be reversed without a major social transformation.
		As he puts it, “If human population does not wither away in the future, it will be because of a mutation in human culture.” Longman draws parallels to the Victorian era and other periods when fears of population decline, cultural decadence, and fraying social safety nets intensified family solidarity and stigmatized abortion and birth control.
		The truth is, the possibility of a population crisis simultaneously raises the prospect of conservative revival and eugenic nightmare.

	P10. The Declining Population
		This tendency to declining numbers has a wider importance, affecting [a] the balance of power in the world and the handing on to future generations of the heritage not only of the British people but of the white races themselves.
		This is Harrod's first expression in public of his ideas on population, which seems to have been stimulated by "casual conversation".
		He gave two lectures on "The Problem of a Declining Population" at the 1939 summer course in social studies organized by the University of Oxford--see University of Oxford, Residential Summer Session in Social Studies, 11 July to 18 August 1939 (Oxford: Oxford University Press, undated).

	Population Bombshell
		This third revolution has already raised the world's population to around 6 billion, six times what it was at the start of the 19th century, three times what it was in 1930a single life span ago-and almost twice what it was in 1960.
		But population growth rates are now declining fast in many developing countries, especially in the rapidly industrialising nations of East Asia, where increasingly rich and urban populations seek to reduce family sizes.
		In the meantime, the residual population increase will be the outcome of two trends: a rise in the old population and a decline in the young population.

	United Nations Warns About Declining Populations (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
		The Population Division of the UN Secretariat says in its report, “Replacement Migration”, that the only hope in many countries for maintaining existing levels of working-age populations is immigration at levels many may find alarming.
		The study predicts that “the numbers of migrants needed to offset declines in the working-age population are significantly larger that those needed to offset total population decline”.
		Because of the two factors of population aging and decline, along with the expected resistance to massive immigration, the report suggests that policy makers will have to grapple with a number of critical issues in the coming decades.

	afrol News - Declining elephant population in Malawi park
		Misanet / The Chronicle, 6 September - The population of elephants in Malawi's Kasungu National Park is said to be declining as a result of dense human population, poaching, as well management problems in the Department of Parks and Wildlife and the communities surrounding the protected area.
		He cited dense populations in the Kasungu area, which is increasing at a high rate, causing pressure on the park as people clear land for settlement.
		He also lamented the fact that the population is poaching for ivory which has been a recurrent problem perpetrated mostly by people on the Zambian side.

		With high population densities in their most fertile land areas, these countries recognized that fast-growing populations test the limits of both social services and nature's services.
		Fortunately, high population densities also enable potentially efficient provision of services such as health care and education, if there is the political and community will.

	No value in the population preoccupation - smh.com.au
		Governments and business in such states are concerned to find solutions which will increase their populations; to a considerable extent this means demanding more and more direct and indirect subsidies from the rest of the country to prop up their declining numbers and economies.
		While there may be social arguments in favour of subsidising traditional population distributions the history of ghost mining towns and declining country towns shows that it is extremely difficult to design, let alone afford, policies which would achieve this.
		Property prices would fall more with declining population, making residence in Adelaide (an attractive city) cheap enough to attract residents from other states with sufficient employment skills and income to counteract the decline.

	OpinionJournal - Extra
		The total fertility rate, which measures the number of births to the average woman over her lifetime, must be at least 2.1 in order to prevent a country's population from declining in the long run in the absence of enough immigration.
		The rate of population decline in Japan and Russia will accelerate if their low birth rates persist, and these countries do not change either their attitude toward, or their ability to attract, immigrants.
		Another important negative consequence of population decline is seldom discussed, but it is not eliminated by changing the structure of taxes and saving, or even by increasing the fraction of married women and older men in the labor force.

	Commentary: UN Report Defuses 'Population Bomb Theory' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
		The Population Division of the UN has now published a report titled "Replacement Migration: Is it a Solution to Declining and Aging Populations?" that addresses a problem population doomsayers did not predict: that within 50 years many countries around the world will be suffering from underpopulation.
		The report explicitly states, "Among the demographic trends revealed by those figures [generated], two are particularly salient: population decline and population aging." The report predicts that by 2050, Japan’s population will have dropped by 18 percent, Italy’s by 28 percent, and Europe as a whole by 13 percent.
		One reason the UN and population doomsayers continue to ignore higher birth rates as a solution to declining population is that they have failed to recognize what Nobel-winning economist Gary Becker describes as human capital.

		He spoke by telephone during a break in the meeting and compared the plight of the pupfish to endangered condors that were hatched in captivity and released into the wild in a trailblazing project that has them winging over Big Sur, Calif., and Arizona's Vermilion Cliffs since the last wild condor was captured in 1987.
		The course of reviving the Devil's Hole pupfish might not be much different if reserve populations that have been held in a spring-fed tank near Hoover Dam since the early 1970s and later at another "refugium" at Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge are used to augment the wild population, Williams said.
		The fragile population of iridescent blue pupfish have thrived for the past few million years on a shelf in Devil's Hole, a deep, water-filled limestone cave 90 miles northwest of Las Vegas near Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge.
