Liz: - As far as I am concerned, today a serious demographic crisis confronts some countries in the West. Jane: - What kind of “demographic crisis” are you talking about? You mean a high rate of population growth? Liz: - ---- Jane: - I see what you mean. A serious issue, indeed.
|
Most social welfare systems in the West have been very efficient and contributed greatly to the rise of a healthy population. |
|
Unlike most other European countries, the United States and also Britain have kept stable populations or seen mild population growth mostly due to immigration. |
|
On the contrary. Over the decades, countries such as Italy, Germany, France, Belgium and Holland have faced sharp declines in the birth rate, leading to population decline. |
|
In fact, the availability of reliable birth control methods and also the introduction of new incentives for family planning have slowed down the rapid rise of population in the developed countries. |
|
The economic prosperity of the West has enabled nations to introduce better and more comprehensive health-care policies. |
