Introduction
Depopulation, or a population decline, is when there is a reduction in the number of persons living in a particular country. This may be due to, among other things, an aging population, low birth/fertility rates, and high death rates from war or disease. Either way, a declining population can be detrimental to a country’s prosperity over time, despite the fact it would have additional resources, by creating an employment shortage and fewer people paying for public services.
Countries have chosen various means to cure a declining population. Two of the most popular methods are to adopt policies that encourage citizens to build families and to welcome immigrants into the country. Examples of the former include tax credits and social benefits when a couple has children (these benefits may increase exponentially as a couple has more children); the latter includes eliminating red tape in the immigration process and increasing the total number of visa and green card holders.
