Now, let’s discuss demographic trends. What is the significance of a declining birth rate?
It might help stabilize the population growth, reducing pressure on resources.
Exactly! A decline in birth rates can lead to a demographic dividend. However, what challenge arises from having 65% of the population in the working age?
There’s a huge need for job creation to ensure they are employed.
Very true. There are significant employment challenges that policy-makers must address. This interplay of trends significantly influences national progress.
