Figures show that some countries have an ever-increasing proportion of the population who are aged 15 or younger.

  1. in 50 years they will create a problem


  2. There are a great number of impacts that are made whenever there is less than perfectly steady development of population trends.  As these very young get to work eligible age, there will be a large surplus of unemployed young workers.  This might tax the social giving programs of the nation itself.  Similarly, as these young people become voter eligible they have the ability to dramatically affect democratic nations through vote casting.  Later on, they may become an enormous drain on a social giving program like the US Social Security program.  Similarly, their society might not have kept up reproductive rates after their generation and therefore created a lull in the eligible workforce behind them.  This multiplies the problems with retirees drawing on governmental retirement/social giving.

    These are just a few examples of the effects!  These effects are extremely widespread but can also be localized (look at retirement communities in arizona and florida (US)).  Certain locales have to dramatically change their social world in order to reflect the demographics for which they serve.  Hospitals might need to be built, infrastructure changed, communities rearranged, and different statutes both ratified and enforced.
