02 Global Trends:
● declining birth rates and aging populations worldwide.
particularly in Europe, are facing population declines due to lower birth rates and a trend
towards smaller families.
Such as families such as Japan, Italy, and Germany.
● fertility rates have existed in many parts of the world but have increased without an
attendant decline in population totals. This is because many of these countries typically
experience net immigration.
● In fact over the next few decades, migration is predicted to become the sole driver of
population growth in high-income countries.
Economic
Increased Dependency Ratio:
Cause: A higher ratio of dependent elderly individuals to the working-age population.
Challenge: Strain on social welfare systems and increased financial burden on the working-
age population.
Labor Shortages
Cause: Reduced working-age population due to declining birth rates.
Challenge:Industries may face difficulties finding skilled workers, leading to decreased
productivity.
Reduced Diversity:
Cause:Smaller populations leading to less diversity.
Challenge: Potential loss of cultural richness and diversity in communities.
Environmental
Less Congestion
Cause: As there are fewer people and vehicles, there will be a perceived improvement in traffic
flow and overall urban livability.
Challenge: urban development may face economic hurdles as reduced congestion could
impact property values and development incentives. Property values could decline as location
preferences shift, and the urgency for infrastructure improvement diminishes.
Environmental Sustainability
Cause: Population decline can contribute to environmental sustainability by reducing the
overall ecological footprint. Smaller populations may lead to lower resource consumption, less
pollution
Challenges: While environmental sustainability is a positive outcome, it may pose challenges
for industries dependent on population-driven demand.
