Low numbers of babies - 17th August 2020
Some countries have a very small population. This is a problem. There are lots of old people. And there are not many babies.
In 1950, women usually had about 5 children. In 2017, women usually had about 2 children. The numbers are going down.
There are many reasons for this. Now, women can get a good education. They don’t want babies. They want to work.
There are also lots of old people in some countries. An old population changes many things. Hospitals need a lot of doctors. Old people can’t work. Young people have to work more. They have to pay for the old people.
Some governments have an idea. They want young people to have babies. That creates a young population. Young people work and make money. They can pay for the old people.
Small populations in many countries can make the future difficult.
