Talk:Demographic dividend

[Untitled]
This is pseudo-science.

How can incomes grow just because there are more youth in a nation? Infact, when labour supply increases, wages fall. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.193.60.107 (talk) 16:01, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

Wages may in fact fall but that's not the main point. The net effect is ambiguous because you have more people in the labor market working productively, if there are opportunities, and supporting fewer old and young dependents. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.15.31.77 (talk) 03:06, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

This article seems to be a propaganda piece. Example: "A country with both increasing numbers of young people and declining fertility..." - this statement is an oxymoron and is not a statement that describes possible natural occurrence in a society. The only possible sitaution where a society could have growing numbers of young people while the overall fertility is declining could be as follows: (a) sudden explosion of an epidemic illness that would somehow spare young people but kill off older people and affect reproductive capacity of population that are in reproductive age, (b) a theoretic long lasting armed conflict where young people are spared and people older than "young" died in large numbers, (c) other similar long lasting events as the previous two examples. However, such societies with falling fertility rates and with growing number of young people are possible and likely are already forming. These are old industrialized societies of Western Europe and North America. Such evolution of these societies is not natural, in my opinion. The changes in these societies to become "infertile but with growing numbers of young people" are possible due to planned replacement of native populations with growing influx of young people from societies that are willing sources of emigration. As I mentioned, this article is a propaganda piece because it describes these changes as naturally occurring, without mentioning such evolution is a planned operation. Additionally, mentioning that such situation creates "demographic dividend" is a picture of corrupt thought that shows extreme prejudice of the governments of the above mentioned countries. --  2607:FA48:6EDA:1C10:D962:98D8:1E29:4276 (talk) 06:52, 29 November 2019 (UTC)
