Problems of Youthful population (too many under 15)

· Child care has to be provided so that parents can return to work.

· Governments need to pay so that young people can go to school

· Young people get sick so the government has to pay for healthcare

· An increase in the dependency ratio

· Creation of teaching and nursing jobs.

· An anti-natalist policy might be introduced like China's one child policy.

· Increase family planning. Make contraception available and affordable

· Ensure females are educated and emancipated.

Replacement Rate: The number of children each couple has to have to maintain a country's population. The replacement rate is about 2.1 - two to replace the couple when they die and then 0.1 for children who might die in infancy or who are unable to have children themselves (infertile).

Reproductive age range: The age that females normally have babies

· Closure of child related services and loss of jobs e.g. schools and nurseries

· Less consumers and taxpayers in the future

· An increase in the age of the population

· Birth rates fall below replacement rate cause the population decline. Also in the future there will be less people in the reproductive age range causing further declines.
