In some countries there are an increasing proportion of population who are aged 15 or younger. What are the causes of this phenomenon and what effects it may have in those countries?
In this day and age, there has arisen a sweeping trend in a few nations where under-15 groups show an increasing proportion in population. Though the causes of such a phenomenon and effects resulted from it are not generally widely discussed, doubtless, it is a topic of discussion.
The background reasons of this demography phenomenon should be taken into account. The first and most significant reason is that Birth rates in these nations are considerably high, which result from complex and profound social and traditional reasons. For instance, in those African countries where agricultural play a dominate role in thrive, women there are prone to bear more babies in order to provide sufficient human resources to their house-hold farming. Moreover, traditional culture can be a vital reason for this trend. Obviously, attitudes determine everything. In those people who hold expand family as their values may choose to have more than one child with no doubt.
From my perspective, the negative effects of this overpopulated reality also should be seriously concern with. First of all, the under-15 age groups are ones need to be educated well-rounded. Because of this, the below-15 aged population boom will lead to giant pressure on mass education. Secondly, unbalanced working age people versus job vacancies may contribute to massive unemployment surge into other countries, which result in instability and cultural clashes in both home and abroad.
In final analysis, I should advocate that similar to the greying of population, increasing percentage of population who are under 15 years old may exert profound influences on society. From my perspective, sociologists and demographers must take measures on this pressing problem in some district of the World.
TASK 1
The table illustrates the distinctions of subway systems among 6 cities, including London, Kyoto and so on.
As we can discern from the graph, obviously, in terms of date opened, London is the earliest, followed by Paris and Tokyo. In contrast, Los Angeles is the latest, which established its underground railway in 2001.
We can also see from the table, as for length of the subway route, London's is the longest with the data of 394 kilometers, whereas Kyoto is the shortest which is merely 11 kilometres. Interestingly, among the Top 4 countries in accordance with the opened time, their subway's lengths are also longer than the other two.
According to the last items, Tokyo's underground engineering transport most passengers annually among all the 5 countries, which is approximately 775 millions. Kyoto’s is merely 45 millions passengers per year, which is around fourty-three times less than the amount in Tokyo.
To summarize, the table reveals how the indicator about subway infrastructures altered in 5 different nations. London own the most time-honored and longest one while Kyoto has the smallest passengers volume and shortest length. |
