Question

how does imbalances in the global economy affect population growth and population decline?

Answer 1

Imbalances happen in a variety of areas. Health care, economic activity, rate of industrialization, cost of inputs, labor costs, family size and birth rates etc. Low standards of living generally result in a higher death rate and are also associated with a higher birth rate as well. Population growth is occurring in countries with a low standard of economic living because health care throughout the world is improving faster than income is. Decline tends to happen in industrialized nations. The only growth that is being seen in industrialized nations typically comes from recent immigrants who are more accustomed to the need for large families from their old countries.

Answer 2

Can cause increased taxation in poor nations, can cause problems with terms of trade, increased taxation, decreased value of currency, cause cost of living to increase with no offsetting increase in income. Nutrition and health standards fall as does mortality. population may decline due to mortality and or decreased birth rates.
