Political and socio-economic impacts of the demograhpic changes

In the world today, we observe major demographic changes such as the ever-increasing world population and literacy rates of women, the decrease in the feritility rates and natural resources dramatically. And of course, these must have cerain degree of impacts on the dfferent aspects of the world, and most significantly on both the political and socio-economic aspects.

As the literacy rates of women increases over the centuries, so does their social status in the societies. They are also playing their role in sustaining and improving the economies of many countries, on the other hand, they are too upholding their most traditional role, as mothers and guardians of the home. However, those that are achieving the success of fulfilling both the criterias of both roles are decreasing. There are only a handful that are able to handle both in the balance. On the other hand, they are also focusing their energies solely on the careers of their interests and thus putting the idea of having babies and even marrying at the back of their minds. This trend shared between the women all over the world are indirectly causing fertility rates to decrase dramatically and the replacement rates to fall behind the expected figures.

Furthermore, the increasing technological advancement in both developing and developed countries are causing environmental problems throughout the world such global warming and the emission of greenhouse gases. This is resulting in many health problems and dramatic change in climate all over the world albeit it is churning huge amounts of returns which are improving the economies globally, raising the standards of living and reducing the percentages of people living in poverty and with less then US$1 a day.

Therefore, in conclusion, there are always drawbacks in certain decisions we make, and governments and the citizens and occupants of the world must thus make a decision between soaring economies, higher standards of living and everyone of us possessing equal rights with the condtions of our environment and aging populations that may result in our extinction centuries down the road.
