Unshapely world, too old or too young
Article Abstract:
The world population has increased by 100% between 1960 and 1999, and half the total of 6 billion is less than 25-years-old, despite concerns about ageing populations in developed economies. The average number of children born to women in developing countries has dropped to 3 from 6 since 1969, but population growth is strong due to lower infant mortality rates and greater longevity in most developed economies. Life expectancy has dropped in some African countries affected by AIDS. Births are at the same level at deaths in China and some Indian states, though China may change its one-child policy due to concerns about a sex-imbalanace and an ageing population.
