The New Generations of Europeans: Demography and Families in the Enlarged European Union

Cordon and others have pointed out that throughou^ihe/20,', century, virtually all western and central European nations were reproducing at below-replacement levels, that more than half of the world's population now lives in nations with a below-replacement fertility level, that this is an issue faced not just by the EU or developed countries and that this below-replacement fertility rate should not be seen as a temporary phenomenon that will soon be reversed.\n Push factors include poor econ...

India Rising

Even the gloomiest pundits believe India's "trend" growth rate is at least six per cent -- the rate it has achieved since 1991, when Manmohan Singh, then finance minister and now prime minister, removed some of the most crippling constraints of the licence raj. And growth should be faster still if India is able to cash in its "demographic dividend." France's Arcelor, the world's second-biggest steelmaker, would rather jump into a hasty marriage with Severstal, a Russian producer, than submit ...

The Book of Manitoba

While the old encyclopedia on every bookshelf is a thing of the past, the idea of "all the knowledge" inherent in that magic word "encyclopedia" still carries a certain magic. Take, for example, alighting on the entry on Canada's "greatest novelist" Margaret Laurence, and following the alphabetical bread crumbs to singer Daniel Lavoie, hockey player Reggie "The Rifle" Leach, Leafhopper, visual artist Winston Leathers, Legal Aid and Legislative Building ("on the short list of CBC's Seven Wonde...

They Have Seen the Future...And It Tastes Like Salt

"A little increase in temperature, a little climate change, has a magnified impact here," said A. Atiq Rahman, the director of the Bangladesh Center for Advanced Studies -- the country's leading environmental research group -- based in Dhaka, the capital. "That's what makes the population here so vulnerable." "Tomorrow's poverty will be far worse than today's," Rahman said. "Part of it is sheer reality hitting you on the head -- there's stronger floods, more frequent floods," Rahman said. "No...

Bhutto Would Never Have Been Pakistan's Saviour

Then [BENAZIR Bhutto] went back to Pakistan in 1977, just about the time that [Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq] had her father sentenced to death in a rigged trial. He was hanged in 1979, and Benazir was thrown into jail for five years. But when she came out after Zia died, she was already the head of the party her father had founded, the Pakistan People's Party, and by 1988 she was prime minister. She was only 35. Benazir Bhutto's party, the PPP, has no alternative leader with national visibility. The ...

Obama Deserves Presidency

Political fire, far from rattling [Barack Obama], seems to bring out the best in him: The furor about his (admittedly ghastly) preacher prompted one of the most thoughtful speeches of the campaign. On the financial crisis his performance has been as assured as [John McCain]'s has been febrile. It is hard, too, nowadays to depict him as soft when it comes to dealing with America's enemies. Part of Obama's original appeal to the Democratic left was his keenness to get American troops out of Ira...
