population and development
Letter Of Transmittal
Dear Sir
According to the requirement of the course and your assignment to us, I worked on the topic “Population and development”. I made this paper based on different web pages. I covered the major sector rather researching on all issues.
I wish that this assignment will help to get some ideas on the solutions of some of the issues related to the Population and development.
Introduction
Population dynamics is one of the pre-eminent issues of the 21st century. It affects different countries in very different ways. Lasting solutions, for the benefit of all, can be found only through common understanding. Population dynamics will critically influence each pillar of sustainable development - social, economic and environmental. Its consideration is central to any future development agenda especially since it core element of four interlinked mega-trends:
High population growth and large youth populations in some countries, mostly in developing countries
Declining populations and rapid ageing in other countries, mostly in developed countries
Increased human mobility and international migration
Rapid urbanization and growing mega-cities
These trends affect all aspects of economic, social and political life, and have far-reaching implications. They lead to global challenges affecting different nations and groups of population in quite distinct ways. While the world’s poorest countries continue to have high population growth, others are facing rapid population aging, and some are seeing a decline in population.
Furthermore, most of the countries, independent of their development level, are witnessing an accelerating internal and international migration, and rapidly expanding urban areas. Therefore, the question, today, is not why population dynamics should be integrated in the Post-2015 Development Agenda, but how. Considering the current ecological state of the world, this question needs to be answered urgently. It needs to
