China’s rapid economic growth since the early 1980’s can be attributed to its lower fertility rate. While India’s increase growth rate since about 1990 may also be related to it’s more moderate decline in fertility. Population Policy - China 1. China's One Child Policy was created in 1979 by Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping to temporarily limit communist China's population growth. It has thus been in place for more than 32 years.
This is due to social class. The higher the class the higher the standard of care. Researchers found that some of the 7500 deaths that are among people younger than the age of 65 could have been prevented could have been prevented if inequalities in wealth narrowed to their 1983 levels. If a baby girl is born in leeds she is more than twice as likely to die in the first year of life compared to an infant girl growing up in a dorset town. Alot of studies into health inequalities rely on morality, death, and morbidity, illness, data.
Carer’s key issues are tiredness from caring for their loved one, grief about the changes their loved one is going through and possible anger about being the person left responsible for the older person. 2. Briefly describe the current philosophies of service delivery in the sector, the impact of ageing demographics on funding, and service delivery models and current legislation. The current philosophy surrounding service delivery is a direct result of societies changed expectations that has occurred over the last decade. Being that Australia is living longer then what we did 20 years ago therefore they are more dependant or partially dependant on the government for retirement.
The New York Times claimed that, “When immigrants do take jobs, they’re hard workers” (Preston and Connelly a1). Therefore, it greatly contributes to America’s retirement system. The presence of immigrants also contributes to America’s long term population growth, necessary to stabilize the overall retirement fund. The Springer Science and Business Media’s journal states that some other countries in the world suffer from the labor shortages and a demographic crunch, in which a very small number of workers will be expected to pay the retirement and health care for elderly people (Gold 409). The ratio of retired people to workers is expected to dramatically increase in the coming decades, which would result in significant changes in the Security System of America’s retirement money.
If we do nothing to the current configuration of our Social Security program, projections are showing that by the year 2035, the Trust Fund will only adequately support 75% of beneficiaries. (Goss, 2010) This is in large part due to the current generation of baby boomers who are living longer, more healthful and active lives. When they start collecting Social Security benefits, they will collect for more years than previous generations. Although Social Security benefits account for approximately 40% of prior earnings for an individual who has worked, this would be a substantial amount of earnings to lose. For the economy, the challenge is to generate growth and financial resources needed to meet age-related spending needs.
The Australian health care system is in crisis. Large public hospitals are stretched to breaking point, hospital beds are full. Yet a substantial percentage of these hospital admissions may have been avoided had these patients had the opportunity to have their illnesses managed correctly outside the acute setting. From a financial viewpoint the tertiary sector is stretched about as far as it can go, and the situation is worsening. Lifestyle and chronic illnesses are on the increase.
With retirement come concerns about finances, concerns about mental health and concerns about physical health (McGarry, 2004). This position paper will take a look these three areas of concern that can an individual and their retirement in a negative way. In a study that was recently completed, 58 percent of retirees reported that they were bothered by the high cost of living, and
Life expectancy is 81 years for women and 76 for men. However, increased life expectancy combined with declining birth rates have caused many to worry about the cost of an ageing population. Many countries across the world have what is known as an ageing population. This involves an increase in the median age of the population, an increasing proportion of people living to old age (and in many cases extreme old age above 85 years). 65% of the population are economically active, 19% of the population are under the age of 15 and 16% are over 65.
However, in Fahrenheit 451, a utopian society seems to have been reached. Perfection seemed to exist in “laws, government, and social conditions.” Compared to our modern world, this future seemed to be happier and their lives less chaotic. Humans have never liked laws because they give off a sense of restriction as well as authority. In the future, laws don’t exist and anything seemed feasible and within one’s reach. There was only a simple law, and that was to not read books as well as think, making “the mind drink less and less.” This doesn’t seem much of a sacrifice because society was filled with far more excitement than literature could offer.
The Census Bureau predicts the U.S. population will reach 397 million in 2050, which is a bad sign. People have been expecting the decline of increasing population. The second effect is to the U.S. economy, 31% of adults who are immigrants have not completed high-school. There are more and more people are now unemployed, which makes the U.S. economy goes down. The third effect is to environment, increasing population rapidly has a negative-effect on environment, including: water, air, land, etc...
