At this pace and if the population growth rate does not slow down, it will outpace Indonesia by 2030 as the country with the largest Muslim population. The population of Pakistan was 33 million in 1950 and its rank was 14th in the world. Today, it has reached around 194.5 million making Pakistan 6th most populous country of the world. Pakistan has the highest population growth rate in the world. Each family in Pakistan on average has 3.1 children. If the population of the country continues to grow with the same rate, it is likely to reach 227 million by 2025. Due to high birth rate, urban population will double in next 20 years. Reasons for rapid growth: Teenage girls around the world face enormous challenges. Many are considered by their communities or parents to be ready for marriage and motherhood. Many are forced from school damaging their future prospects. These challenges are exacerbated among marginalized girls, such as those living in poverty or remote areas. When teenage girls are empowered, they become agents of positive change in their communities.]]> 2018-06-19 04:24:37 UTC https://padlet.com/fernandeslynda/Pop/wish/267726432 Jedd R. Briggs (Japan) https://padlet.com/fernandeslynda/Pop/wish/267726521 Japan has one of the highest aged population in contrast to any other country in the world, this is impartially due to the low birth rate and the high life expectancy which encouraged a low birth rate. The population has decreased due to the high aged population and low fertility rates this has impacted the country as a whole and made the country's crowded metropolitan areas more livable, and the stagnation of economic output might still benefit a shrinking workforce. However, the low birthrate and high life expectancy has also inverted the standard population pyramid, forcing a narrowing base of young people to provide and care for a bulging older cohort even as they try to form families of their own. The increased death to birth ratio has impacted the economy as well as the labor market, forcing old people to retire at a later age, and forcing young people into house-caring facilities for the elderly.  Japan has focused its policies on the work-life balance with the goal of improving the conditions for increasing the birth rate. To address these challenges, Japan has established goals to define the ideal work-life balance that would provide the environment for couples to have more children with the passing of the Child Care and Family Care Leave Law, which took effect in June 2010. ]]> 2018-06-19 04:25:33 UTC https://padlet.com/fernandeslynda/Pop/wish/267726521 https://padlet.com/fernandeslynda/Pop/wish/267726597 2018-06-19 04:26:16 UTC https://padlet.com/fernandeslynda/Pop/wish/267726597 Prinita - UAE https://padlet.com/fernandeslynda/Pop/wish/267726680 -The UAE has one of the highest male to female population ratios in the world and is far ahead of other Arab countries because of its heavy reliance on expatriate male workers.
-The unbalanced gender ratio of the United Arab Emirates  came about because the UAE brought in thousands of foreigners from Asia and other parts of the Middle East to work in the country's oil fields and construction sites. The majority of these labor migrants were men unaccompanied by their families.
-Women in the UAE and many other Muslim countries are less likely to work outside the home than women in Europe, for example. There were fewer jobs for women, and relatively few women were recruited from abroad. The host governments did not want the immigrants to settle permanently and reasoned that the foreigners were less likely to stay if they had families waiting for them back home. 
- You can see that the emirates with highest imported worker populations, Abu Dhabi followed by Dubai, also had the most skewed gender ratios. Of course, immigration isn't necessarily the only reason for the low number of females. It's possible that the Gulf states offer, for example, less health care for women.]]> 2018-06-19 04:27:10 UTC https://padlet.com/fernandeslynda/Pop/wish/267726680 Faizan https://padlet.com/fernandeslynda/Pop/wish/267726796 In most countries labeled as “developing country,” it is typical for birthrates to be extremely high, while health and education levels are low. However, this is not the case with Cuba. a country filled with an abundance of love, but a lack of babies. Despite the country being labelled as "developing", Cuba has had extremely high levels of education and an excellent health care system. There are 7 main factors which have lead to a low fertility rate in Cuba:

- socioeconomic reforms/modernization efforts 
- severe housing shortage 
- return of economic differentiation 
- uneven economic performance 
- low levels of consumption
- low or negative economic value of children 
- realistic/pessimistic economic prospects

Due to this Australia is ranked 11th in net immigration rate  throughout the entire world , 45 out a thousand people in Australia are immigrants . With more than 28% of its population having been born overseas, Australia is the clear immigration leader among major developed countries. Australia isn't an economic miracle. It's a demographic miracle. With more than 28% of its population having been born overseas, Australia is the clear immigration leader among major developed countries.

Currently, Russia is in decline of its population growth, mainly duo to the improvements done to medical science and birth control methods. Russians now live a much longer life than they did just a century back. Couples now have far fewer children(most not more than 2)  compared to huge families they had when King Tsar was ruling Russia. Russian women have left their traditional 'working at home' jobs and joined the workforce in massive numbers. These women marry much much later in life, towards the end of their fertile years and  many don't ever marry, same is true for many Russian men.

The population of Russia peaked at 148,689,000 in 1991, just before the breakup of the Soviet Union. Low birth rates and abnormally high death rates caused Russia's population to decline at a 0.5% annual rate. The population in Russia is approximately 143 million.
Benefits:
- There will be little social challenges as in housing, healthcare, etc., as the population is quite small.
- More individuals will have more opportunities for example, education.
- There would be less resources used.
Problems:
- Since there is a lower birth rate, there will be more old people in Russia, and not much of the new generation and this is bad as there will be less advancement of the country. 
- There will be serious labor shortage, which will lead to the country not having enough products and services.

As of October 1, 2015, the population was 127,094,745 making it the world's tenth most populist country at the time. It had declined by 0.8 percent from the time of the census five years ago, the first time it had declined since the 1945 census. Japan's population size can be attributed to high growth rates experienced during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Japan's population is aging faster than any other nation. The population of those 65 years or older roughly doubled in 24 years, from 7.1% of the population in 1970 to 14.1% in 1994. ]]> 2018-06-19 04:29:55 UTC https://padlet.com/fernandeslynda/Pop/wish/267726909 Ibrahim - Japanese Population https://padlet.com/fernandeslynda/Pop/wish/267726951 It no mystery that the Japanese population has been in decline for the past few years. Although Japan has one of the lowest death rates, it still doent gain population, in fact it fell by 300.000 people. 
People are quick to assume that there isnt enough reproduction happening, but  there’s another, simpler explanation for the country’s low birth rate, one that has implications for the U.S.: Japan’s birth rate may be falling because there are fewer good opportunities for young people, and especially men, in the country’s economy, where men are widely expected to provide for the family. That reason alongside the strict marriage formalities gives you a country with a declining population as well as a large migrating men's population who are in search of better jobs.

Low birth rates and abnormally high death rates caused Russia's population to decline at a 0.5% annual rate, or about 750,000 to 800,000 people per year from the mid-1990s to the mid-2000s. ]]> 2018-06-19 04:31:36 UTC https://padlet.com/fernandeslynda/Pop/wish/267727016 YUSRA https://padlet.com/fernandeslynda/Pop/wish/267727017 most countries labeled developing should be expected to have a high birth rate but there is an exception to cuba to be labelled as "developing" but they have an excellent higher education and healthcare system so why in recent years has cuba experienced an alarming drop in birth rates dating back to 1970-80s?
  A Socio Economic Interpretation,” attempts to explain the various reasons Cuba’s fertility is so low. -socioeconomic factors that led to low fertility in severe housing shortage, low levels of consumption, low or negative economic value of children. the housing shortage and weak economic prospects are the two factors that can still explain why low birthrates remain an issue.
 In Cuba, there is almost no hope that the economy can grow. Combine this with a non-existent housing market and you have the current birthrate decline we see today.
 without their future offspring, the aging population will become harder to maintain  on the already weak economy.
in boom years castro promised to build 1 mill new housed but built only a few with small spaces. many houses have genrations of tradiont=s and theres just not enough room to raise a child and to much sentiment to demolish the land paired with coupoles who only earn $20 thye are forced to abstain from fertility

Projections suggest that by 2050, 40 per cent of the population will be aged 65 or older. Japan has the world’s oldest population, with a median age of 46 years, an average lifespan of 84, and a quarter of the population over 65. But this doesn’t have to mean a gloomy future. What happens in the coming years might even point the way for other countries.
-  the soaring elderly population is influencing what the private sector produces.
-fewer people in the workforce supporting a growing number of elderly means less money spent on taxes and less money spent on consumption.
- the number of aging is growing significantly while the birth rate is continually falling. And that presents some huge financial problems for the government
-An increase in the proportion of elderly persons in the population leads to a growing pool of volunteers in the economy. This has been identified as a global advantage where the elderly contribute free labour to community.
-  An ageing population can be advantageous in this case, using their experience to help uphold morals and values in a country. ]]> 2018-06-19 04:33:56 UTC https://padlet.com/fernandeslynda/Pop/wish/267727162 Dilashan- Decline in population in Russia https://padlet.com/fernandeslynda/Pop/wish/267727282 The death rate of russia has drastically increased and calls for emergency.Russia's population peaked in the early 1990s (at the time of the end of the Soviet Union) with about 148 million people in the country. Today, Russia's population is approximately 143 million. The United States Census Bureau estimates that Russia's population will decline from the current 143 million to a mere 111 million by 2050, a loss of more than 30 million people and a decrease of more than 20%.Alcohol-related deaths (due to the drinking culture) in Russia are very high and alcohol-related emergencies represent the bulk of emergency room visits in the country. Understandably, due these high rates of alcoholism and economic hardship, women feel less than encouraged to have children in Russia. Russia's total fertility rate is low at 1.3 births per woman. This number represents the number of children each Russian woman has during her lifetime. A replacement total fertility rate to maintain a stable population is 2.1 births per woman. Obviously, with such a low total fertility rate Russian women are contributing to a declining population. During the Soviet era, abortion was quite common and was utilized as a method of birth control. That technique remains common and quite popular today, keeping the country's birth rate exceptionally low. According to a Russian news source, there are more abortions than births in Russia.
