Fertility rates are still rather high with India alone adding 15 million people per year over the past decade (Wiley 420). However, that number is predicted to steadily decline in the coming years. East Asia is categorized as being in stage 4 of the Demographic Transition Model, meaning birth and death rates are both low.

Europe will not run the 21st century because of a combination of economic, institutional, and cultural factors. However, for the purpose of this paper, I will focus on the economic aspects of European society that will impede EU ascendency. I do not believe that the EU will cease to exist in the coming century, but I do believe it will become obsolete because it will be unable to make the necessary changes to their demographic problems, defense policies, and economic culture in response to the increasing
The effects of the Columbian Exchange on Europe and the Americas bore both similarities and differences. The Columbian Exchange had major demographic and environmental impacts on both areas, in the short-term demographically devastating Amerindian peoples with disease while Europeans remained comparatively unaffected, long-term demographically growing populations of both areas through introduction of new animal and crop resources, and environmentally reshaping both regions though introduction of

Introduction Three centuries ago, the United Kingdom was at the forefront of the industrial revolution; soon after, most of Western Europe followed with massive industrialization and exponential population growth. This period marked a paradigm shift in both economic and demographic models. For example, Malthus’s model for population growth was refuted with new trends of sustainable
population of Europe. Between 1660 and 1800, the population of Europe almost doubled, increasing from a level of 100 million in 1660 to 187 million by 1800. The sources which can inform us of this population increase include censuses, parish registers, and legal documents such as wills, amongst a number of other things.

The closing case in chapter 1 points us to a shift in the worldwide demographics. When looking at population pyramid, there has been a shift from the traditional pyramid of a country’s age distribution, to pyramids that are starting to look more like diamonds or rectangles. This is caused by lower birth rates and an increase in life expectancy. The change in both birth rates and life expectancy can mainly be attributed to an increase in urbanization and education levels. Further, low birth rates

During the fourteenth century, the Black Death generated economic, political, and social changes across the European landscape.

This theory embraces the observation that all countries in the world go through different stages in the growth of population. A nation's economy and level of development is directly related
