2. As the demographic transition model shows us, the population of a country is not static. It changes through time, sometimes very quickly. These changes can have a great effect on the people and their quality of life. They also force governments to deal with the issues that arise as a result of these changes.

6. PopulationImplication of population changeELDC Huge increase in the numbers of young people staying alive due to better healthcare, diets and water supply, where previously many would have died. This leads to large numbers of “future parents” which will exacerbate the problem even further. population explosion The result is a population explosion in these countries.

7. PopulationImplication of population changeELDC The problems this can lead to are:  Rapidly increasing populations increase problems for already strained local and national governments (not enough jobs,houses,water supply, healthcare) for the people who live there at present. Extra revenue and spending needed to ensure all of these are provided, but this will hinder the country’s development ie it can’t spend money improving standards of living if it has use all its resources providing the basics.

Extra revenue and spending needed to ensure all of these are provided, but this will hinder the country’s development ie it can’t spend money improving standards of living if it has use all its resources providing the basics.  High young dependent population means ELDCs must find more funds for ante & post natal health care and education.

This will lead to unemployment as too many people chase too few jobs – which is itself a problem for the government.

15. PopulationImplication of population changeEMDC Huge increase in the numbers of old people staying alive due to better healthcare, diets and water supply, where previously many would have died. The result is a population in these countries grows very slowly or may even fall, but it gets progressively older. At the same time there is a contraction in the number of young people, as the birth rate falls, sometimes below that needed to keep the status quo.

16. PopulationImplication of population changeEMDC The problems this can lead to are:  Declining Birth Rate reduces demand for child-centred services - schools, nurseries, maternity wards etc. may close causing unemployment.

PopulationImplication of population changeEMDC The problems this can lead to are:  Declining Birth Rate reduces demand for child-centred services - schools, nurseries, maternity wards etc. may close causing unemployment.  Possible redundancies in industries which focussed exclusively on younger age groups as product demand declines e.g. toymakers.

This increases strain/costs on health services.
