I’ll be talking about economy during 1945-1950. Economically, the effects of the ‘dirty thirties’ had been overcome through wartime production and centralized government control of the economy. Nevertheless, it was initially unclear to what extent the provincial governments would allow the federal government to retain many of these powers in peacetime. Financial prosperity helped create and was sustained by a major upsurge in the Canadian population. Canadian soldiers arrived home with 43,000 war brides and 21,000 children, and this signaled the start of the ‘baby boom,’ which would be at its most prolific in the decade after 1945.
Unit 1.3 Global Hazards Using the graphs from Unit 1.3, I am able to outline the trends in global disasters. The number of natural disasters reported has increased over the last 30 years. In 1930, about 25 natural disasters were reported. In 1970, there was a sharp increase and this carried on until 1995. Overall, numbers have increased over the last 50 years, however, by 2000, the trend line started to become level.
Economics ISU Baby Boomers: The Ageing Population Post World War II, during the time period of 1946 to 1964, the birth rate in the North American society increased dramatically. This generation was called the baby boomers. In the time of the baby boomers about 79.6 million babies were born just in Canada and the United States of America alone. (Haaga, Population Reference Bureau) Post World War II, the economy was a lot more stable and returning soldiers began to start families. The reason for the massive expansion in the birth rate was because of the new stable economy, and the jobs the returning men received.
Each year, on average, 294 youths die from suicide. Many more attempt suicide. According to Statistics Canada figures, Canadian suicide rates greatly increased in the 1960s and 1970s and, though they became stable in the 1980s, yet they are still at the highest level in Canadian history. Between 1960 and 1978, the overall suicide rate rose from 7.6 per 100,000 populations to 14.8. During the last decade, the suicide rate, though relatively stable, has been about double the rate throughout most of the period from1921 to 1961 and well above previous highs recorded during the Depression of the 1930s.
This is the potential usage in 1995. In order to project the numbers forward to 2000 (the date of product release), we must estimate population growth. The elderly population (65 and older), which currently receives 40% of all acute blood loss transfusions, is expected to double by 2030. Assuming linear growth, we can expect this age group to grow 14% by 2000. Similarly, the remaining adult population (under 65), which currently receives 60% of all acute blood loss transfusions, is expected to grow 5.9% by 2030 ((6 – 5.67) / 5.67 = 5.9%).
In 2000, 35 million of the United States population was over 65 years of age, and by 2030 the figure is expected to reach 71.5 million older Americans. “Demographically, the coming generation of elderly Americans- the baby boomers- were themselves the pioneers in the great changes that have transformed family life over the past several decades, and their ageing is one of the most anticipated demographic events of this century” (Population Reference Bureau, 2010). With the continued advancement in medicine Americans are living longer. And, it appears that “while the number of Americans without medical insurance is high, the number without any insurance against the cost of long term care is far greater (Population Reference Bureau, 2010).” Ageism is a social attitude. Ageism is also part of attitudes where people believe that older adults can be treated in demeaning ways.
Specifically, the home improvement industry has contracted by 1.2% in 2009. Companies have responded by increasing sales promotions and discounting in order to grow their share of the declining market. This has increased competition and deferred new entrants. However, as the economy recovers, the industry is expected to grow at a forecasted compounded annual growth rate of 3% until 2014. The Canadian general merchandise retailing industry is highly competitive.
Since the cost of tuition has reached such a high in Canada, students who are choosing against a post-secondary education are missing out on a largely important social experience. The time spent in college and university is a crucial part in growing up where young adults begin to truly find out who they are. It is also their final and last chance to create strong bonds with new people and create life-long friends. This is an incredibly valuable period that should be spent deciding what career they want to take on for the rest of their lives, while also discovering what their talents and interests are. With more students deciding not to attend college and university due to rising tuition, these individuals are being neglected the significant time that should be dedicated to focusing on growing as their own person.
Introduction Immigration may be caused by several factors. These include “economic, political, family re-unification, natural disaster, poverty or the wish to change one's surroundings voluntarily” (Immigration Restriction League, 2013). It is well known that the United States is a country of immigrants, with its most popular immigrants having been the Pilgrims. However, immigration in the United States has come a long way since the Pilgrims arrived in Plymouth Harbor in December 16, 1620 (Who Were the Pilgrims, 2013). In 2010 several hundred million people immigrated to the United States increasing the total U.S. population to approximately 340 million, and by the year 2050 it is estimated that with immigration this population will reach 397 million (Immigration To The United States, 2013).
Baby Boom Essay It is said that kids are the future of a country. Canada’s future is also in hand of Canadian children. One important event that took place in Canadian history, which proved that statement, was baby boom. Baby boom in Canada lasted from 1946 to 1961. During this time Canada’s population increased by fifty percent, from 12 million to 18 million.
