Évolution de la population mondiale - Démographie
J’avais raté la sortie de la révision 2015 du « World Population Prospect » des Nations unies. Ils ont ajusté les prévisions, et du coup, j’en ai profité pour mettre à jour et corriger un ensemble de graphiques qui seront sans doute une bonne #ressource_pédagogique pour les profs (et les élèves et tout le monde en fait !). C’est - encore une fois - très conventionnel mais utile. En anglais pour le moment, mais la version française arrive bientôt.
La représentation sur le temps long montre les deux extrémités de la « transition globale » (lente évolution jusqu’au XIXe siècle, puis très forte accélération de la dynamique démographique et enfin, ce qui semble être une probable évolution, le ralentissement, le tassement de la croissance à partir de 2050).
Il faudra sans doute affiner et détailler ce qui se cache sous cette « marche d’escalier » et analyser les évolutions secondaires qui n’apparaissent pas dans ces courbes mais qui sont bien réelles.
Les colonnes à gauche représentent l’évolution de la population par continent « relativement » les uns par rapport aux autres (le poids relatif de chacun plutôt que le volume de population).

gros #débat au sein de @visionscarto sur le sens de ce graphique, le choix de l’échelle, l’#histoire de la démographie mondiale…

Gros débat très fructueux d’ailleurs dont on reparlera. J’ai juste oublié de préciser que la courbe rouge dans ce graphique représente en réalité la vision considérée comme propbable dans les années 1960 à 1970 (c’était la fameuse hypothèse catastrophiste, la « bombe » démographique). AUjourd’hui, compte tenu des évolutions [ralenties] des taux de fécondité dans de nombreux pays où il était traditionnellement fort,cette hypoyhèse est devenue caduque. Toutefois, les Nations unies continuent de publier, dans leur liste de scénarios, une variante [haute] pour laquelle ils imaginent que chaque foyer aient en moyenne 0,5 enfant en plus de ceux prévus dans la variante moyenne et qui aboutit théoriquement à une très forte croissance démographique, mais à la quelle personne, aujourd’hui, ne croit vraiment être une hypothèse plausible.

On Friday the Central Statistical bureau of Latvia announced that in the beginning of the May the population in Latvia dropped below 2 mill. It was 1 997 500 inhabitants in Latvia in the May of 2014. The analysts argue that it is both due to depopulation and emigration.
Although in the last months the birth rate has been growing, there are still more people dying. The second reason - emigration - was also caused by economic situation during the financial crisis. Latvia has now recovered from crisis but people still are emigrating - many of them to Norway.TVNET :: Latvijā - Iedzīvotāju skaits Latvijā noslīdējis zem diviem miljoniem
▻http://www.tvnet.lv/zinas/latvija/513377-iedzivotaju_skaits_latvija_noslidejis_zem_diviem_miljoniem2014.gadā iedzīvotāju skaits Latvijā turpina samazināties - maija sākumā valstī dzīvoja 1 997 500 iedzīvotāju. Iedzīvotāju skaits samazinās gan dabiskā pieauguma (mirušo skaita pārsvars pār dzimušo skaitu), gan migrācijas dēļ.
« Šāda iedzīvotāju skaita samazināšanās ir satraucoša, » šodien preses konferencē atzina CSP priekšniece Aija Žīgure. Lai gan dzimstība uzlabojas, diemžēl mirstība saglabājas augstāka, līdz ar to dabiskais pieaugums joprojām ir negatīvs, viņa sacīja.

The number of population is decreasing – the mark has dropped below 2 million | Latvijas statistika
▻http://www.csb.gov.lv/en/notikumi/number-population-decreasing-mark-has-dropped-below-2-million-39639.htmlAt the beginning of 2014 the number of population in Latvia comprised 2 million 1468, a drop of 22.4 thousand persons compared to the previous year. Compared to 1.03 % in 2012, the population decrease in 2013 comprised 1.10 %. Of total population 917.1 thsd or 45.8% were males and 1084.4 thsd (54.2%) – females.
In 2014 the number of population in Latvia continues to reduce – at the beginning of May there were 1 million 997.5 thousand persons living in Latvia. The number of population is decreasing both due to natural increase (the number of deaths prevails the number of births), and due to migration.

Poverty, growth and the World Bank
A dollar a day
Sep 17th 2013, 10:38 by J.P.In 1991, David Dollar and Aart Kraay, both of the World Bank, published an influential paper, “Growth is good for the Poor”. It established, as an empirical matter, that when average incomes rise, the average incomes of the poorest fifth of society rise proportionately. The implication was that economic growth and its determinants—macroeconomic stability, rule of law, openness to trade and so on—benefit the poorest fifth as much as they do everyone else.
This was the heyday of the “Washington consensus”. The term had been coined by John Williamson of the Institute for International Economics only two years before. And the study helped confirm the then-widespread view that, as a guideline for policymakers, poor countries ought to concentrate on getting the basics of growth right, rather than on specific measures aimed at helping the poorest. They could do that too, of course. But the impact was not all that great. When Messrs Dollar and Kraay examined four interventions—primary education, social spending, agricultural productivity and improvements in formal democratic institutions—they found little evidence that these disproportionately benefited the poor.
Now, Messrs Dollar and Kraay, together with Tatjana Kleineberg, have revisited their study. Using a larger and more detailed data set (118 countries not 92), they find that just over three-quarters of the improvement in the incomes of the poorest 40% is attributable to improvements in average incomes—ie, it comes mainly from growth. The title of the new paper says it all: “Growth still is good for the poor”.
But the context is very different from what it was in the early 1990s. Now, the talk is all about income inequality, people being trapped in poverty and the need to help the poorest directly. Barack Obama, David Cameron, the World Bank and dozens of non-governmental organisations, for example, have signed up to the idea that extreme poverty can be eradicated by 2030 (in practice, this means reducing to about 3% the share of the world’s population subsisting on $1.25 a day or less). With hundreds of development agencies gathering in New York on September 25th to talk about “sustainable development goals” to replace the millennium goals that expire in 2015, the air is thick with talk about the problem of inequality and about how the poorest can be trapped by “business as usual”.
Does this mean the new paper contradicts—and possibly undermines—the post-Washington consensus? The World Bank itself has what it calls a new “overarching mission” which fits the mood of the sustainable-development goals. It commits the bank to “end extreme poverty and promote shared prosperity”. It is hard to resist discerning some tension—a difference in emphasis, at least —between the aim of “promoting shared prosperity” and this sentence from the new paper: “historical experience in a large sample of countries does not provide much guidance on which combinations of macroeconomic policies and institutions might be particularly beneficial for promoting ‘shared prosperity’ as distinct from simply ‘prosperity’.” If it is hard to know how to promote “shared prosperity”, why not just concentrate on prosperity pure and simple?
On the other hand, the mission also says that “reaching the target [of ending extreme poverty] will require sustaining high rates of economic growth across the developing world.” And that is clearly consistent with the Dollar-Kraay-Kleineberg paper. The bank’s description of its new mission describes the rationale for its targets. This blog, by the bank’s chief economist Kaushik Basu, explains why shared prosperity ought to be a guiding principle for the institution.

Latvians as minority in 37 years
In interview with Leons Taivāns, professors in University of Latvia, he admitted that Latvians are dying out, emigrating and in others ways leaving country, that can cause Latvians becoming minority in our own country. Internal affairs is only one part of this issue. Latvia is feeling stronger and stronger pressure from Asia, like Turkey and China. There is overpopulation in these countries so they seek the ways how to reduce it - one of the solutions is such countries as Latvia where they can go. Latvia has to work really hard to improve this situation, but at least for now we cannot see visible changes.
TVNET :: Viedokļi - Biedējoši: Pēc 37 gadiem latvieši būs izteikta minoritāte
▻http://www.tvnet.lv/zinas/viedokli/470778-biedejosi_pec_37_gadiem_latviesi_bus_izteikta_minoritate« Skaidrs, ka imigrācija būs, jo iedzīvotāji pasaulē ir sadalīti ļoti neproporcionāli. Latvija ir viena no tukšākajām vietām. Varbūt nav pati tukšākā. Mums ir 35 cilvēki uz kvadrātkilometru. Somijā tas skaits ir vēl mazāks – tie ir 15 cilvēki uz kvadrātkilometru, bet Somijā ir teritorijas, kas nav apdzīvojamas. Latvijā visas teritorijas ir apdzīvojamas.
