“…Demographic change portends a change in the absolute size of a given population as well as its characteristics. Whether the change is positive or negative, it usually has one effect or the other which will either be, demographic, socio-economic or environmental in presentation depending on the demographic situation of the country being investigated (Prokhorets et al, 2015;Hyland, 2008). For the developed countries of Europe and North America whose populations have transited through all the stages of the Demographic Transition Model, the current demographic experience is that of negative growth, a situation where the death rate is higher than the birth.…”

This paper examines the link between Demographic change and Economic growth from geographical and health perspectives. It highlighted the medical and social factors that engendered demographic change and how the resultant demographic condition affects economic growth. The paper adopted the qualitative method of analysis of textual material for both data collection and data analysis. The findings are that; improvement in public health and medical technology especially that of vaccination against infectious diseases, improvement in agriculture, better nutrition and general sanitation are factors that brought about a reduction in death rates and facilitated increased fertility rate leading to sustained population growth. The resultant population growth seriously affects economic growth as an investment is concentrated on the provision of basic needs to the detriment of capital investment needed for economic growth. The paper recommends the enactment and implementation of realistic population and economic policies.

“…A population's characteristics and absolute size will alter as a result of demographic transition. Whether a shift is favorable or negative, it typically has some sort of impact, which may be demographic, socioeconomic, or environmental in nature, depending on the country's demographic context (Prokhorets, Sysa & Rudneva, 2015). The current demographic experience is one of negative growth, or a scenario where the mortality rate is larger than the birth rate, for the industrialized nations of Europe and North America, whose populations have passed through all the stages of the Demographic Transition Model.…”

Nigeria is currently the world's sixth most populous country. However, empirical research on the impact of this growing population on economic growth is divided. This study adds to existing research on the economic effects of Nigeria's rapid population growth. This study used a qualitative research design because it relied on secondary data gathered from books, journal papers, and online sources. Its content was examined in light of the objectives of the study, and Malthusian theory serves as the study's foundation. The majority of Nigeria's development issues, according to the study's findings, can be directly or indirectly linked to the country's rapid population growth. This study thus urges, among other things, the need for an all-encompassing mechanism that will address issues of conflict and insecurity, migration and displacement, access to education for girls, and proper regulation of infrastructure development, as well as the undiluted conservative ideology whereby many, especially in Nigeria, see population growth as the key to control of political power and resources that should be thrown away in favor of a more effective and functional system.

“…The lack of understanding by students of this goal leads to insufficient teaching process and low motivation. As a result, students are not independent enough in learning foreign languages (Prokhorets, Sysa & Rudneva, 2015).…”

The trend towards the development of intercultural communicative competences of students, the use of interactive teaching methods, the changing role of a teacher to a consultant in the teaching process necessitates highlighting the level of perception, knowledge and views of teachers on the intercultural approach in teaching. Based on the study of the experience of EU countries in the implementation of intercultural approach in the teaching of foreign languages and an enquiry of 32 teachers, the level of teachers’ perception of the intercultural approach was assessed. We have established the next points: 1) changes in the social and economic context require new approaches to the organization and provision of foreign language education; 2) shifting away from linguistic purity and correctness and the priority of a democratic society, openness to different cultures. This indicates that the social and educational environments are multilingual. The study proves a positive perception in increasing the level of knowledge concerning teachers’ intercultural communicative competences. Teachers confirm the importance of implementing an intercultural approach in teaching foreign languages. The scientific paper proves the convergence of developing countries, to advanced countries in the implementation of an intercultural approach to teaching foreign languagesat the local level. Nevertheless, the perception of intercultural competences as the best approach to teaching is at a mean level in Ukraine compared to EU countries.
