Demographic Profile Of France, 1985 And 2012

The population in the United States has more than tripled in the last century from 76 million in 1900 to 281 million in 2000 (Hobbs & Stoops, 2002). This can be contributed to several trends in population demographics. The most obvious reason is that there are more births than deaths in the U.S (Williams & Torrens, 2008). Also, the average American is getting older due to increased longevity. In simple terms, people are living longer. One reason is medical advances have increased in recent years coupled with the fact that Americans are taking their health more serious. The population of age 65 and older has increase from 3.1 million in 1900 to 35 million in 2000, with the 85 and older population increasing from 122,000 to 4.2 million (Hobbs

The French economy is one built on capitalism and trade. Exporting many goods to areas like Africa, Asia and even the United States; roughly 27% of France’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is earned through manufactured goods that are exported (EW World Economy Team, 2013). In 2008 France suffered from a major financial crisis that hurt the economy. Since then the economy has been slowly recovering and continued an upward trend to this day. Each year it averages around 1.1% growth (Murphy & Romei, 2017). While this is not always above the average of the rest of other European nations as a whole, it is constant. As far as trade goes, France is the 9th largest trading partner

Respond to the question: How do you think the male-female breakdown of the population would have affected life in New France at that time?

Elderly- 13% of the population is 65 and older. The Baby Boomers are getting close to the retirement age, and families have been cutting down from 3 children per family to just 2.

The demographic transition is a three-stage model of population growth in Europe. In the first stage there is a stable population because birth and death rates are both high. The second stage happens as mortality rates begin to slowly decline, but birth rates stay high. When this stage happens, there is fast population growth. During the third stage, the population is more stable as both birth and death rates are low and are more or less balanced. In more recent years, a fourth stage as been brought on by Anti-Malthusians. During this stage, population shrinkage occurs because the deaths begin to outnumber the births. Europe provides a great example to the theory of demographic transition. After speedy population growth of stage two, Europe settled at stage three with a stable population. It is currently in stage four with a shrinking population. In most European nations there are lesser births than deaths which could ultimately create other social problems.

Back in twentieth century, a tiny fragment of mere 5% population was comprised of people aged 65 and above. A little spike in this segment was observed during the period of 1950s-1960s; however, that spike was not significant and restricted to 8% of entire population (Chart 1.1). Many factors were responsible for the small proportion of senior population, the most prominent one though, low life expectancy, high fertility/birth rates and limitation of health services.

At present time, Canada is facing a significant demographic transition in its population. From last century, the decrease in mortality, fertility and the increase in life expectancy lead to vast changes in Canada’s population. Aging of Canada’s population becomes more and more severer. This research paper is to study the correlation between demographic transition in Canada and how does the transition impact on economic growth. To be more specifically, demographics variables can include life expectancy, fertility and mortality; economic growth variables can include labour force and public expenditure.

Discuss the political, economic, and religious developments in France during the reign of King Louis XIV, and how the other states of Europe reacted to create a 'balance of power' designed to check France's rise in power and influence both in Europe and overseas.

Of the 16,497 households, 22.4% had children under the age of 18 living with them. 60.2% were married couples living together, 4.3% had a female householder with no husband present, and

There were 167,490 households of which 29.7% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 22.4% were married couples living together, 25.3% had a female householder with no husband present, 6.0% had a male householder with no wife present, and 46.4% were non-families. 39.5% of all households were made up of individuals and

From 1530 to 1562, France was the most overpopulated country in Europe. By 1530, all arable land were under cultivation without introducing any new agricultural techniques or new crops and in doing so, grain production reached to its most output in 1530. The growth of population increased the pressure on grain production and subsequently rose grain and bread prices. The wheat price doubled from 1510 to 1540, but the other grains and products lagged behind it. Moreover, the cheap price of grains in France in comparison to Spain caused an increase of the export of it to Spain, even though it was several times banned by the French crown but the export continued as the main way to import gold and silver into France, in exchange for bullions.

The Demographic Transition Model is a simplification for the conventional process of shifts in population growth in our world’s countries. The Demographic Transition Model, also known as DTM, is derived from Great Britain’s model of their demographic cycle between the 1750s and the 1900s. It consists of five different stages, with the phases being low growth, increasing growth, population explosion, decreasing growth, and declining population. These phases are defined by a triple line graph of the crude birth rate, crude death rate, and the total population per one thousand people. The DTM applies to almost every country, but the different stages of the model the countries fit in varies. There are no countries remaining in Stage 1 anymore. Though, some are making it into Stage 5, and the addition of a Stage 6 is being considered.

Since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, life expectancy on a global scale has substantially increased. As people live longer, mortality has become more attributed to diseases of age rather than infectious diseases. While standards of living have improved dramatically, health deterioration in the later years of life has emerged as a major society issue facing modern societies. The elderly have become increasingly reliant on care provided later in life. Absent this care, modern societies will see a significant decline in quality of life as they face demographic shift.

However, better healthcare and protection from government result in rising age expectancy, which is a double-edged sword as on one hand, people live longer as shown in report (Friedland and Summer, 2005, Fig 1-2) and on the other hand, the proportion of aging population increases if the younger generation are not reproducing enough, and this is exactly the trend now in developed nations. In the

The Netherlands’ population growth has been slowing for many decades. In 1950, the population grew at 1.26 percent. By the year 2000, that rate had dropped to a mere 0.54 percent. Several factors influenced the decelerating population growth, namely fertility decline, lower death rates, and more strictly limited immigration. These trends are very typical of a nation transitioning from the third to the fourth stage of the Demographic Transition Model. Falling mortality and fertility rates are characteristic of this stage’s transition, which does not allow for much growth. In the Netherlands, this transition is remarkably recognizable in the data from 1950 to 2000. This decelerating trend is anticipated to continue into the year 2050, by which point the population will shrink at an estimated rate of -0.1 percent.
