Day Linkoln - The future of low-birth rate populations - Linkoln Day

Lincoln Day is the primary annual celebration and fundraising event of many state and county organizations of the Republican Party in the United States. It is held annually in February or March depending on the county and often features a well known speaker from the Republican Party. Its counterpart for the Democratic Party, held the same time every year, is the Jefferson-Jackson Day celebration. Though traditionally named after Abraham Lincoln as the first elected president of the Republican Party, the event has been renamed Reagan Day in some locations following the death of Ronald Reagan for the purpose of honoring Reagan and modernizing the Republican Party's message. Commenting on this difference in 2005, Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina joked "We don’t do Lincoln Day Dinners in South Carolina. It’s nothing personal, but it takes a while to get over things," referencing the fact that Lincoln's election led to the secession of South Carolina and other states.

The ultimate aim of stable population growth at or around replacement is to have a society with no births of unwanted children, with parents making the decision to bear or not bear a child, and with the social and cultural norm of large family consisting of 3 children. The result of low-birth populations is an older age structure and a decline in numbers such as that occurring in Denmark, Germany, and Hungary. Declines are expected in Austria, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Sweden, and eventually in all of Europe and countries of primarily European origins. The expected impact has brought with it unfounded fear. Nondemographic factors such as the availability of health services, housing, and public transportation or distribution of wealth and income will determine the social consequences of the expected demographic changes. The direction of discussion is on 1) an assessment of the demographic patterns and policy alternatives; 2) the likelihood of significant changes in the fertility of mortality levels; and 3) an assessment of the losses and gains of having smaller numbers and an older age structure. Social change will provide opportunities for improving human well-being and the relationship between people and the natural environment. Sweden is given as an example of a country which, with an even distribution in numbers of youth and >65 year old people, was able to invest in more capital narrowing and economically productive activities than city building and construction of housing. There are natural limits to growth due to continued growth, geographic redistribution, and increasing consumption. The environmental implications of consumption patterns are reflected in the consumption processes: production, distribution, consumption, and disposal of waste. An increase in the aged is expected to have less impact on the environment, but the impact might well be affected by the cohort. Social changes may also be expressed as lower consumption of processed foods, lower expenditures on gasoline, and more humanized cities. Policy implications involve changing the social and physical setting of the aged, developing additional social services and facilities, and creating a more equitable balance of income and wealth. Provision of human needs is a complex mix of factors including the function of personalities. ! Uwagi : Obwoluta lekko wytarta. Brzegi stron nieco zakurzone.
