32. What advantages/disadvantages does a larger world population have? Here’s one of each to get you thinking… – Limited amount of resources – Exponential technological growth

33. Quick Question Why does a fertility rate less than the replacement rate affect Japan more than Europe & (especially) the US?

34. What about countries w/older populations? A Few Pros – (usually) Wealthy country, limited or no more population growth (helps w/ limited resources) A Major Con – A poorly skewed DEPENDENCY RATIO (Why problematic?) People aged 0-14 & 65 and older/# of people aged 15-64 Before skewing poorly, countries usually receive a “DEMOGRAPHIC DIVIDEND” for about 20-30 years after fertility rates fall but before a large # of people retire. In other words, the DD has the best dependency ratio! – Examples: » 4 Asian Tigers (1960s-1990s) » India (2010ish-2040ish)

35. Dependency Ratio (economically speaking—close to 2.5 is good…close to 1 is not so good!)
