Low Birth Rate

Significance Priorities include digitalisation, a greener society, regional vitality and increased child support. Perhaps the most strategically important element, however, is the aim of reviving Japan's declining semiconductor sector. Japan still has more chip factories than any other country, but is far from the cutting edge. Impacts The goal of fiscal balance by 2025 is a placeholder; the decades-long pattern of repeated deferral will continue. Economic trends and government policy will drive regional renewal in many areas, but the impact on the national level will not be large. Greater support of women and children will at best have a small effect on raising Japan’s low birth rate.

Low Birth Rate

Cooperation with IENs (Internationally Educated Nurses) is increasingly important given the aging society and low birth rate in Japan. This study focuses on lived experiences of Indonesian nurses in Japan. Objectives of this study were to clarify their experiences and views in terms of the scope of nursing and cultural adaptation, and to examine whether cultural barriers are among the reasons nurses return to their home country. The study was based upon in-depth interviews with Indonesian nurses who had worked in Japan. Fourteen Indonesian nurses participated in the study. Indonesian nurses viewed Japanese work culture as hardworking, requiring excessive punctuality, having too many rules, and maintaining hierarchy between junior and senior nurses.Collaboration with doctors, integrated elderly care, and touching emerged as differences in the nursing practice. Indonesian nurses hesitated to touch patients as they did in Indonesia due to cultural differences. Religious practice among Muslims and family priority were reasons to return to Indonesia. To utilize IEN’s skills, not only must the migrants learn Japanese culture and values, but it will be necessary for Japanese employers and staff to understand the values of the IENs.

Subject Results of the 2017 census. Significance Peru’s population growth has slowed markedly over the last ten years according to the latest census, reflecting growing urbanisation, changes in social structure and lifestyles, and the increased availability of methods of birth control. Years of high growth rates appear to underscore the expansion of a substantial urban middle class, while Peru is also enjoying a decline in the ratio between workers and the dependent population. Impacts Increasingly urban populations will benefit companies providing goods and services, whether imported or not. Construction activity will hinge around economic growth and its geographical distribution. Population concentration will reduce the political weight of rural constituencies. Peru’s cities will remain highly vulnerable to water shortages.

Low Birth Rate

Serbia has been facing an economic crisis for the last two decades, which is one of the causes of poor demographic situation in the country. Along with low or negative rates of population growth and ageing of population, the majority of municipalities in Vojvodina have a negative migration balance. Vojvodina is characterized by long-term trend in the decrease of young population and the increase of old population. These two processes are affected by low birth rate and life expectancy increase. The bad economic situation and the ageing of population are especially apparent in mountainous areas and peripherally located settlements. This situation has not bypassed Besenovo, mountainous village of Fruska Gora. Field research and conduction of the questionnaire have found out that the population of this village is not satisfied with the basic living standard.

Introduction comprises the information on two main forms of same sex families, civic partnership (same sex partnership) and same sex marriage. Countries and various status modalities of legal regulations are mentioned. The main part of the text is dedicated to presentation of the findings of the most recent research on various aspects regarding children of same sex partnerships. It comprises presentations grouped in four main chapters: acceptance of same sex partnerships, acceptance of legal recognition of the same sex partnerships, family plans of homosexual teenagers, and raising children within and by the same sex partners. Also the real life cases mirroring legal changes through their life destinies are presented, such is e.g. the Irish way to legalization of the same sex partnerships. In addition, a love story of two women crowned by giving birth of their four children is mentioned. Reasons against and negative reactions the author puts under the title Homophobia. In the Concluding remarks, the author presents the most recent examples of legal changes happened in Norway, Ecuador, and in the American states of California and Connecticut. It was also stated that in European countries of low birth rate, the same sex families are inevitably identified as one of demographically valuable source of creating and raising children, which is worthy to be supported, rather than being hindered without reason and discriminated. Although different than a model of heterosexual family, same sex partnerships neither are harrowing to traditional family values, nor reflex of any kind of promiscuous, antisocial behavior, avoidance of parenthood, and negation of family. Quite opposite, these families are an outcome of endeavors of homosexuals not to be deprived of family, parenthood and all of other values of stabile, monogamous, emotional/sexual socially accepted and legally recognized and regulated conventional family. .
