population (as in most W. European countries). For the first time, the number of people of retirement age is now above the number under 16. After two baby-booms (1944-49, 1959-69) the birth rate has declined steadily (20 births/1000 population to 16.6/fertility rate 2.95/women of birth giving age in 1964 > 1.96 today). (Replacement rate = 2.1).Causes: l children no longer bread-earners (laws vs. child labour, compulsory schooling) + better birth control or family planning programmes (introduced in the 1980s)

handicraft sectors, all of which can be impacted negatively by climate change. In agriculture, the Burundi government aims to develop and improve food production by 19 promoting the use of those varieties that perform the best, improving soil fertility, and upgrading cropping techniques, which would lead to significant increases in output and household income for farmers. This ties in with the adaptation strategies outlined in the NAPA. In the livestock sector, the government will place a priority

important) that may turn their eyes to pearls in a symbol of transformation in death. This idea is also seen in the last stanza with the planted corpse. The fear of leaving the corpse planted (noting the allusion to the buried god of the fertility rites) is that life will ensue. If we accept the idea of the wasteland inhabitants as being comfortable in death, we begin to see the importance of Eliot’s reversal of Webster’s original lines (where “foe” was used rather than Eliot’s “friend”)

the pension is made on the price for the first, on the wages for the second. Why the system is not sustainable anymore? The developed countries are experiencing a stage of demographic change that result from increased life expectancy and low fertility rate, often below the replacement level. “As a consequence most parts of the world will witness demographic aging – defined as a rise in median age of populations and a growing share of people above age 65 – during this 21st century.” Progress

form of immortality. In biblical Jewish tradition, if a married man died childless, his brother was expected to marry his wife and father children in his name. A Bulgarian Gypsy bride carries a child over the threshold of her new home to ensure her fertility. The “magic” of the wedding, however, acts in two ways. The good wishes, symbolism, and charms may bring the bride (and groom) good luck and good fortune, but in societies where there has been free choice in marriage partner, and where getting

Its fertility rate is one of the lowest in Europe and counts 1.41 children per woman.
