The Programme International For Population Growth And Development In East Germany

Discuss the declining birthrate in Russia and other countries in the region. What do you think the impact of this decline can have on neighboring countries and regions? Are similar declines happening elsewhere? The declining birthrate is seen all throughout Russia and neighboring countries. A lot is due to many choosing to have less children and also the high mortality rate of younger men. It seems that Europe and the United States are also seeing a decline in the birthrate, but not as bad as

Since the end of the second world war, Germany has had undeniable economic performances. Unlike its european counterparts, It has extremely low unemployment, record trade surpluses and a healthy public accounts. However, the fact remains that the long term outlook of its population is less positive as its population continues to decline while the portion of the its aging population surpases the younger part. Demographic trends in Germany and France appear to be divergent. The two countries seem to be in a radically different situations. Germany has a population of 82,175,684 inhabitants.

In an intelligence-based economy, education is important to national prosperity and individual success. Huge achievement gaps and opportunities must shrink to non-existence, and every student must receive a well education that prepares them for college and careers in the world as it is today. Comparing the United States education system to other countries shows that the United States scored lower than nineteen other counties and education systems in reading in the 2012 Program for International Student Assessment. Germany and Poland in particular are two countries that have now surpassed the United States. During the same study, scores showed that twenty-nine nations outperformed the United States by a large amount in mathematics, and in science, there have been twenty-two education systems that scored higher than the United States (Heitin).

Subsequently after the war female employment dropped, but during the 1950’s when Birth Control was introduced to the market female employment reached an all-time high (“people”). This was due to the views that employers held on women, they were seen as less reliable because of motherhood and their possible absence due to child birth. Furthermore, during the Baby Boom era “young women who had reared one to four children had the fear of another ten to twenty years of fertility” (“people”). Often times these young couples lived in cramped apartments due to the rising house prices (Byrant). In the long term, WWII began a long string of events that all contributed to the social advancement of

The book The Smartest Kids in the World and How They Got That Way written by Amanda Ripley, tells about the various types of education systems from several of the countries that are in the lead for the most educated countries in the world. In Ripley’s book she does not just explain the importance of education but also how it affects the countries and how the students that are getting the education experience it. What led to the finding out of which country was the smartest country in the world was the Program for International Student Assessment or the PISA test. The PISA test is a test that was made to test a person 's ability to think critically, their communication skills, the ability to solve problems in math, reading and science, along with the students’ preparedness to do well in and be able to cooperate in society. Education is something that every country needs to move forward and gain powers in more ways than one so obviously in every country education should come first above all else for the young minds of the future. Author of The Smartest Kids in the World and How They Got That Way, Amanda Ripley, explains the issues concerning education and how the world is making huge leaps in education through many unbelievable factors that can affect a student 's education. She follows several completely different students that are from America and go off to other countries to go to school through a study abroad program. The American education system needs to follow what the

After the war came the post war “Baby Boom.” According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the birth rate increased dramatically from 2.49 to 3.77 between 1945 and 1957. The number of children ages 0-4 went from 11,000,000 to 16,410,000 and continued into the sixties were it peaked 20,000,000. The number of children under the age of nineteen rose from 51 million to 69 million. Nevertheless, the number of adults age ranging from 20-64, had also increased,

Second and Third-wave feminism might have played a huge role in this cause. Women in the late 1960’s fought for the right to legal abortions and access to safe contraceptives. Therefore, women in the U.S find themselves with more control over when they have children, and may put off the process indefinitely. When comparing First and Third world Countries there is a dramatic comparison between how many children a family has. The U.S is fortunate enough be able to provide more forms of birth control to further delay the process. There is also a growing trend among more women to choose further education over children. In comparison, the female to male ratio has increased dramatically since 1970. Now more women in the workplace no longer feel the need to be financially dependent on their spouses as compared to women in the early 1960’s. Women aged mid 20’s to early 30’s are finding themselves waiting longer for kids and even marriage. With less pressure from society, there are women who are at liberty to advance in their careers without the need for children being immediate or at

These numbers rest on the notion that women decided to either quit their jobs once they had children or got married. Not utilizing benefits that are laid out women in South Korea are making their own personalized decisions (between) family and work, which represents the lower numbers for employment and fertility rates for women who are of childbearing age. Lee, Duvander, and Zarit ( 2016) concluded Sweden (stronger) support for families who had two incomes, whereas South Korea took a universal approach providing monetary gains no matter the family situation. With gender equality playing a huge role of the benefits on these parental policies that alleviated the mother for a stretch of time in order to go on leave if she were to decide to have a child

Changing Population Size: With the signing of Versailles treaty in 1919, the population size is on the increase as the country is stable due to the peaceful agreement. Besides, the nation is becoming industrialized as it started some activities such as mining hence people are confident of residing in Germany.

The women in Nazi Germany had a very specific role set up for them. The specifications of their job consisted of revolving around their house duties, their husbands and their children. Most of the income in the family would come from the husband, while back at home, the women would tidy up and keep everything in place. The encouragement of marrying at a young age, and getting a proper family dates back to 1933, from when Hitler first rose to power, and the Law for the Encouragement of Marriage was introduced. This law specified that all newly married couples would get a government loan of 1000 marks which was about 9 months average income. This loan was not to be simply paid back. The birth of one child meant that 25% of the loan did not

the size of China's population is at the dawn of the 21st century it is certain

According to the United Nation’s data, the total fertility rate of China was 5.7 births per woman in 1969, and it declined to 2.8 births per women by 1979. This remarkable

Europe is known globally as a continent with the most demographically complex population control issues. Previous to 1995 Europe’s European Union(EU) population was approximately 100 million people larger than that of the USA. However it is projected that the USA’s population will be larger than the EU’s population by over 20 million in 2050 (Tarmann,1). Presently, Europe’s problem seems to be that people are emigrating out of Europe. And because of this it reduces the effective reproduction of the country, contributing to the pace of their population decline. Many countries in Europe are trying to alleviate this critical issue, however many of the country’s political parties or governments are against or unresponsive to the idea of pronatalist policies. Pronatalist policies are policies that promote population growth. Because of this, policy makers and politicians look towards replacement migration over pronatalist policies. It is clear that pronatalist policies are less favorable when compared to replacement migration to help stabilize population control in Europe.

The best but the hardest path to reforming the public sector is through education (The Economist Magazine 2011). America has a lot to learn from the results and implications of the 2000 survey and list of countries with the most improved education systems by the Programme for International Student Assessment or PISA. The performance of academic students at age 15 in reading, math and science was surveyed in 32 countries. According to the 2009 results, the top 5 performers in reading were Shanghai, China; South Korea; Finland; Hong Kong, China; and Singapore. In reading, the top-ranking were Shanghai, Singapore, Hong Kong, South Korea, and Finland as the 6th. And in science, the leaders were Shanghai, Finland, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Japan. The US was among the lowest-ranking in science as the 23rd in ranking (The Economist Magazine).

The policy I have chosen to examine is Sessional Paper No. 1 on National Population Policy for Sustainable Development. As the policy that has guided implementation of programmes from 2000 to 2012, this policy brought about improvement in the use of contraceptives as well as in the maternal health aspect for Kenyans. It was also able to maintain the statistics and success of the previous policy.
