Demography
Birth rate
-
Birth rate is on the decline, resulting in smaller families.This reduces the burden of responsibility on the working population.
In 1900, the birth rate was 28.7 and by 2007 this had declined to 10.7.
The total fertility rate is the number of children women of childbearing age have. This was at an all time low of 1.63 in 2001.
-
The birth rate is declining because of:
-The changing position o women
-Infant mortality (in the 1900s, 15% of babies died but due to a decline in recent years, women have less of a need to continue trying for a healthy baby)
-The mark of progress
-Child centred society

We have an ageing population. In 1971, the average age was 34.1. In 2007, the average age had increased to 39.6
In 2031, the average age is expected to be 42.6.
Death rates
-
This is approximately 600,000 per year.

Mckeown believed that death rates have decreased as a result of improved nutrition. For example, in modern society, we have improved housing, skilled health workers, less institutionalised jobs, safer jobs and education.
