Practice Reading: Fill in the Blanks (Dropdown) ID: #50174 Population 3
Instructions
Population  composition  is  changing  at  every  level  of  society.  Births  increase  in  one  nation  and  decrease  in  another.  Some  families    childbirth  while  others  start  bringing  children  into  their  folds  early.  Population  changes  can  be  due  to  random  external  ,  like  an  epidemic,  or  shifts  in  other  social  institutions,  as  described  above.  But  regardless  of  why  and  how  it  happens,  population  trends  have  a    interrelated  impact  on  all  other  aspects  of  society.  For  example,  because  we  are  experiencing  an  increase  in  our    population  as  baby  boomers  begin  to  retire,  this  will  in  turn  change  the  way  many  of  our  social  institutions  are  organized.  For  instance,  there  is  an  increased  demand  for  housing  in  warmer  climates,  a  massive  shift  in  the  need  for  elder  care  and  assisted  living  facilities,  and  growing  awareness  of  elder  abuse.  There  is  concern  about  labor    as  boomers  retire,  not  to  mention  the  knowledge  gap  as  the  most  senior  and  accomplished  leaders  in  different  sectors  start  to  leave.  Further,  as  this  large  generation  leaves  the  workforce,  the  loss  of  tax  income  and  pressure  on  pension  and  retirement  plans  means  that  the  financial  stability  of  the  country  is  threatened.
