“…Japan has attempted to raise its fertility rate but only a small rise is evident in the most recent years. It is generally agreed that countries with very low fertility rates are countries where the capacity for women to combine work and family is low (McDonald 2000;Luci-Greulich & Thevenon 2013). This is almost certainly the reason for Japan's persistently low fertility.…”

Declining fertility and mortality rates in the second half of the twentieth century have led to the twenty-first century being characterised as the century of the aging population. Concurrently, the decline in the numbers of young people entering the labour force is exacerbating the problems arising from the aging population. Implications of these trends are analysed for a variety of Asian countries. Labour force growth in India and Pakistan will be sufficient to compensate for the shrinking labour forces in Europe and Asia excluding the massive fall in China; outsourcing labour to South Asia will be an increasing trend in the twenty-first century. The Asian countries with less problematic demographic structures are instead facing economic challenges and require education and training to improve labour productivity.

А вот страны Южной Европы, в которых подобные ассигнования не достигают и 2% ВВП, традиционно замыкают в ЕС рейтинг коэффициента фертильности (1.3) 514 .…”

“…Population or family support policy -with the goal to raise fertility rates -is a topic of public and academic debate (Gauthier, 2007;Heran, 2013;Luci-Greulich & Thevenon, 2013). Recent studies focused on Europe's demographic challenge (Grant, et al , 2004;Hoorens, et al , 2011) found that while immigration in the EU would not prevent aging and its consequences, governments could slow down, but not reverse the population decline by policies aimed at raising fertility.…”
