facets of their growth: population and economy. Predominantly agricultural at this point, Britain was experiencing decreasing returns to agricultural labor and very minimal economic growth. Britain experienced rapid population growth between 1700-1850 as a result of the increasing fertility rate, which came about predominantly from marriage institutions. The sheer magnitude of this growth is represented in the period between 1731 and 1871, wherein the English population quadrupled from 5 million
The remaining four articles are scholarly, peer-reviewed articles that I found related to my topic. The article “The Economic Explanation of Fertility Changes in the United States” from volume 25 of Population Studies was published by Alan Sweezy.

Investigating the effect of rural-urban migration on the four districts of the North West province in South Africa using Manova technique. INTRODUCTION This proposal is about the effect of rural-urban migration on the four districts of the North West province in South Africa. It entails the background of rural-urban migration as well as the statement of the problem, main objectives, other specific objectives, rationale, hypotheses, identification of variables, the theories of other people concerning
cool, wet winters, and hot, dry summers. Some of Lebanon’s natural resources are the limestone, salt, water and iron ore. Like any other country there are natural hazards such as dust storms and sandstorms. [ Population pressures: growth, urbanization, immigration. Lebanon’s population consists of 3, 777, 218 (this data is from July, 2004) Age structure: ~ 0-14 years: 26.9% (male 517,356; female 496,888)
rainfall. However, one of the most widely discussed topics in the modern Korean society is the decreasing birth rate and the increasing percentage of the older age groups. This phenomenon of the older age groups taking a bigger portion of the overall population is called the “aging society.” This occurrence has become one of the
the Australian welfare state affected the aged population. In 1901 just 4.0% of the Australian population were older people and after two decades this has increased to 6.4%. In 2011 the aged population continued to increase and reached 14%. The Australian Bureau of Statistics (Abs.gov.au, 2012) indicates that since the baby boomers are now becoming old, there has been a decrease in fertility rates and an increase in life expectancy. The population of people over 65 years has continued to increase
