Age - population wide

A good read:

Demography | How to deal with a falling population | Economist.com:
Jul 26th 2007
From The Economist print edition
"Worries about a population explosion have been replaced by fears of decline"

and

"As population predictions have changed in the past few years, so have attitudes. The panic about resource constraints that prevailed during the 1970s and 1980s, when the population was rising through the steep part of the S-curve, has given way to a new concern: that the number of people in the world is likely to start falling."
