...Union (EU ) average 1.58 live births per woman, it is significantly below the level needed to replace the population (2.1) . Such changes have significantly increased the average percentage of EU population aged 65 and over, from 9.6% in 1960 to 16% in 2010, which is expected to increase to 22.6% by 2030 . This statistic shows that increasingly more people will have to be supported by government pensions. In the EU the average life expectancy at birth has risen by 10 years over the last 50 years , which means that pension schemes have to support each member increasingly longer than before. The average old age dependency ratio (OADR) in the EU, which measures the amount of elderly people for every 100 people of working age, has increased from 15% in 1960 to 23.6% in 2010 and is projected to hit 36.6 in 2030 . This means that there will be an insufficient amount of working age people to support the pension schemes for the rising number of elderly people. Hence, why there needs to be pension reform? If new reforms are not introduced to the existing pension schemes, elderly people that qualify as eligible for pensions will not be receiving...

...Assess the causes and consequences for changes in the UK population This essay will assess the causes and consequences for changes in the UK population, one cause of this is the decline in the death rate which will be looked at in this essay. Another cause of changes in the population, that will be assessed in this essay, is migration and the patterns of it that have a large impact on the characteristics of a country's population. Many sociologists have studied these topics and some that will be looked at in this essay are Thomas McKeown (1972), N.L Tranter (1996) and many more. The first topic to be assessed in this essay is the death rate in the UK, the death rate is currently declining in the UK and there are several reasons for this decline. According to N.L Tranter (1996), over three quarters of the decline in the death rate from 1850 to 1970 was due to a fall in the number of deaths from infectious diseases. Since deaths from infectious disease were commonest amongst the younger generations, it is not surprising that most of the decline in the death rate came from infants, children and young adults. This decrease in the death rate is part of what has led to a growing population in the UK. However, this is not the only reason for a decline in the death rate leading to an increase in the population in the UK. Thomas McKeown (1972) also points out that improved nutrition is also part of what has led to a decreasing death rate, he believes it is accountable for up to...

...Carol Riddick ENGL100 Nov. 22, 2010 Immigration Reform Roughly 12 million illegal immigrants are in the United States, about 4 percent of the nation's population. Many undocumented children were brought into the U.S. by their illegal immigrant parents as babies or toddlers. Nearly 4 million children who have at least one parent who entered the U.S. illegally were born in the United States and are U.S. citizens as a result. According to the study conducted by the Pew Hispanic Center, the majority of illegal immigrants, about 7 million, come from Mexico. The U.S. government should change the requirements for obtaining legal status for illegal immigrants. The DREAM (Development, Relief and Education of Alien Minors) Act is proposed federal legislation that would allow the children of undocumented immigrants who graduate from high school to earn conditional permanent residency if they complete two years in the military or at college. Eligible students must have entered the US before the age of 16, been living in the US for at least five consecutive years, be between the ages of 12 and 35 at the time of applying, and have good moral character. The legislation was first introduced in the Senate in August 2001, but was stalled in Congress for 9 years and most recently re-introduced in the Senate and House in March 2009. The DREAM Riddick 2 ACT would help immigrant students become legal residents of the United...

...Immigration reform essay: According to Pew Research Center, there are roughly 11 million illegal immigrants in the u.s. as of 2015. This is so far one of the best estimates we have today on how many illegal immigrants reside in the u.s. When looking at illegal immigration patterns across other developed nations these numbers tend to be much lower (CITATION NEEDED). In the u.s we have seventy five percent of our illegal immigration coming from mexico while the other twenty five percent is from various latin and south american countries (citation needed). With the current amount of illegal immigrants residing in our country our political leaders must be able to make immigration reform possible. There are a few ways to do this. The Conservative...

...From the origin of the United States, immigration has been crucial for the economic advancement and expansion of the nation. The US truly is a melting pot of many cultures and ideas, and it has benefited greatly from its diversity. However, with a much-reduced demand for unskilled or low-skilled workers, US policy must adapt so that it can better maximize the net economic benefits of immigration. While this probably does not include a universal drop in the number of legal immigrants, it would include the screening of applicants in such a way that preference is given to more economically beneficial candidates. It would also include making families totally responsible for their elderly relatives who migrate to the US, eliminating the refugee portion of immigrants, denying more, but not all, government services to illegal immigrants, controlling the southern border with more manpower and better technology, and establishing a national verification database. The optimal policy from an economic perspective should seek to provide U.S. businesses with the labor they require without placing added burden on the taxpayers. Before specific policies can be addressed, it is crucial that immigrants be separated into four categories: legal, working-age immigrants; legal, elderly immigrants; refugees; and illegal immigrants. These groups are radically different, and they must be addressed differently. Universally cutting legal immigration levels would deprive businesses of labor resources that...

...explore America and set up trading posts and colonies. Native Americans suffered greatly from the influx of Europeans. The transfer of land from Indian to European -- and later American -- hands was accomplished through treaties, wars, and coercion, with Indians constantly giving way as the newcomers moved west. In the 19th century, the government's preferred solution to the Indian "problem" was to force tribes to inhabit specific plots of land called reservations. Some tribes fought to keep from giving up land they had traditionally used. In many cases the reservation land was of poor quality, and Indians came to depend on government assistance. Poverty and joblessness among Native Americans still exist today The territorial wars, along with Old World diseases to which Indians had no built-up immunity, sent their population plummeting, to a low of 350,000 in 1920. Some tribes disappeared altogether; among them were the Mandans of North Dakota, who had helped Meriwether Lewis and William Clark in exploring America's unsettled northwestern wilderness in 1804-06. Other tribes lost their...

...become a dream after all according to Mark Krikorian’s DREAM On review. The author uses logos to persuade the audience by giving examples to convey his issues and context in his article about the 2010 Dream Act bill Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid’s passed in the House of Representatives by a bipartisan vote of 216 to 198. Nancy Pelosi stated “The Dream Act is about Pedro Ramirez, a student government president at California State University, Fresno. He was brought here when he was 3 years old and was unaware of his lack of citizenship until he was a senior in high school.” The authors’ interpretation of the Dream Act age requirement differs from Pelosi’s and Reid’s bill, the author claims the Dream Act encourages massive fraud on filing for citizenship by immigrants by claiming false work histories, and finally the author claims the children who are legalized, their parents or relatives are put in limbo by...

Introduction The issue of immigration has been the hot debated topic in the European Union for a long time. And there is obvious evidence that the upsurge of immigration into the Europe will not be calmed down within a short time. The European Union has developed its competences in the fields of policies and regulations regarding the immigration issue. But the problems still exist and more things need to be done for creating a better balance. The report will first quickly go over the history of human migration and reasons for the recent large scale of immigration into Europe will be analyzed. After, the policies and regulations implemented by nations of Europe and the European Union will be introduced before going deep into the problems brought up by immigration. Then some solutions as to how to settle the current problems will be provided and concessions will be made to maintain a balanced and objective knowledge of the influences of immigration. 2.

...Illegal immigration is a topic widely uncomfortable subject that most people really have barely any knowledge about. Yet, it’s one of the major political conflicts today. Stuck in this vicious cycle are the kids of these illegals, who have no say in what happens to them or what they do. There are the children that came here with their parents when they were young, and then there are the children who were born here, but are nonetheless growing up suffering the consequences of their parents’ unauthorized status. There are about 11.5 million illegal immigrants living in the United States today. Illegal immigrants are define as those who live within the country without legal authorization to do so. There are many ways one can became “illegal”, such as overstaying the time period specified on a tourist or student visa, or entering the United States without inspection, like crossing the border (Hoefer et al). Research has shown that, the population of unauthorized migrants is larger now than at any time since the United States began trying to regulate immigration in the early twentieth century; while the United States represents five percent of the world’s population, it has approximately twenty percent of all unauthorized migrants in the world. Although “illegal immigrants” account for about a fourth of the overall U.S. immigrant population, they dominate the immigration debate and are at the heart of the politic debates. As a result, we find ourselves at a national immigration impasse...
