HISTORY & MATHEMATICS Political Demography & Global Ageing
Abstract
Among different important issues, which are discussed in Political Demography the
issue of global ageing becomes more and more pressing every year. It is sufficient to take
into account the point that within two forthcoming decades a rapid global increase in the
number of retirement-age persons will lead to its doubling within this fairly small historical
period. The concerns about population ageing apply to both developed and many developing
countries and it has turned into a global issue. In forthcoming decades the population
ageing is likely to become one of the most important processes determining the future society
characteristics and the direction of technological development.
The present volume of the Yearbook (which is the fifth in the series) is subtitled ‘Political
Demography & Global Ageing’. It brings together a number of interesting articles
by scholars from Europe, Asia, and America. They examine global ageing from a variety
of perspectives.
This issue of the Yearbook consists of two main sections: (I) Aspects of Political
Demography; (II) Facing Population Ageing.
We hope that this issue will be interesting and useful both for historians and mathematicians,
as well as for all those dealing with various social and natural sciences.
