3. Introduction In this project we will research, analyze and report different demographic information in the various regions of Germany. Our report will consist of three parts 1) In part one we will collect demographic data on the following 2) In part two we will research population history and political data 3) in part three we will summarize and present our findings to the U.N. General Assembly Crude birth rate (CBR)HIV/AIDS rateAge-sex structure Infant mortality rateAverage education levelAge-dependency ratio Natural Increase Rate (NIR)Crude death rate (CDR)Population density Life expectancyTotal fertility rate (TFR)Urban-rural proportion Percentage of farmers

4. Part 1 Introduction: Demographic Information For part one we will collect data on these parameters. We will collect this data using internet sources and identifying the significance of each demographic we are using to analyze our society, Germany. Each demographic can be used as a tool to analyze a society or country in this case, to better understand demographic, economic and political trends & patterns. This information helps geographers explain the reasons for political movements, migrations and the state of the local economy. Cultural trends & education level can affect demographics and vice versa. In addition, some demographic can affect others, for example, percentage of farmers can affect urban-rural proportion since farmers tend to live & work in rural areas.

5. Part 1 Introduction: The Basics We will go over some basic trivia about Germany’s demographics and how they collect their information The Basics  The demography of Germany is monitored by the "Statistisches Bundesamt" (Federal Statistical Office of Germany)  Germany's population was counted to be 80,219,695 on May 9, 2011, making it the 16th most populous country in the world  Germany's population is characterized by zero or declining growth, with an ageing population and smaller cohort of youths  The United Nations Population Fund lists Germany as host to the third-highest number of international migrants worldwide.

8. Part 2 Population History and Demographics What kinds of family planning and contraceptives are available? Germany has a wide variety of contraceptives available and is on par with other first world countries in terms of family planning services. Germany also has a high immigration rate which may help supplement the amount of people entering the workforce.

9. Part 2 Population History and Demographics Does your country have any population policies? Germany has one of the most generous policies as it is trying to raise birth rates to keep enough people in the workforce. This is known as a pro-natalist policy

10. Part 2 Population History and Demographics Is there gender equality? Yes, more or less Political participation of women in Germany remains high and public commitment to gender equality is evident through gender mainstreaming programs at all levels of government. The Federal Government has launched a program encouraging women to study engineering, technology, or science-related subjects. However differences in pay exist

11. Part 2 Population History and Demographics Germany is in stage 4, with a small base and low birth rates

12. Part 3 Summary Germany shows many signs of a fully developed, first world society with a thriving economy and a stable welfare program. The population is steadily declining and the average age is increasing.

13. Part 3: Population Pyramids 2005

14. Part 3: Potential challenges As noted previously the welfare system would be put under tremendous stress as a result of a higher population of elderly, and retired people. Another challenge would be the smaller percentage of working aged citizens. Germany should adopt a pro-natalist policy to encourage a higher birth rate. Another solution could be to streamline the immigration process in order to encourage foreigners to get jobs in Germany.
