 Vanishing children- fewer children means a lonelier childhood, though they will come to be more

Public services and polices:
 Fewer schools and maternity and child health services may be needed.
 Affects the cost of maternity and paternity leave.
 Average age of the population is rising.
Death Rates:
Tranter:
Tranter argues that the main reason for the decline in death rates from 1850-1970 was due to deaths caused
by infectious diseases declining.
By 1950s cancers and heart diseases had become the main cause of death.
A baby born today has a greater chance of reaching its 65th birthday than a baby born in 1900 did of reaching
it’s first.
Factors causing the ageing population:
- Increasing life expectancy
- Declining infant mortality
- Declining fertility




Summary
Changes in fertility can impact families, the elderly community, and the public services needed to address
the decreasing number of number of children and, consequently, few working adults. However, an
increased life expectancy means that of the children who are born, more are likely to reach their senior
years in comparison to the last century.
