Abstract
This paper explains that regional differences between populations are being diminished rapidly by virtue of worldwide internet access to both information and goods, thus creating demographics in global parameters called geo-demographics. The author points out that geo-demographics can help in planning profitable marketing strategies for anything from ideas to soft drinks, but geo-demographics also can be used to control social life through the ideological conception of a global identity and social space. This paper relates that one of the unique findings concerning international consumer behavior, supporting Hofstede's work in the 1990s concerning national characteristics, is that consumers in different countries may have more in common with one another than consumers in the same country.
From the Paper
"Few would deny that the diffusion of ideas and technology has impacted global commerce. Just recalling the fall of the Soviet Union, based on the dissemination of ideas and arguably enhanced by the rising use of technology from broadcast to (at the time) limited use of the Internet among research facilities, makes clear the extent of the diffusion of ideas on global commerce. Before the fall of the Soviet Union, the reunification of Germany, the independence of the Baltic States and other geopolitical upheavals (probably fostered by technologically superior communications), those vast populations were not markets for the commercial goods and services of the rest of the nations of the world."

Abstract
This paper will examine Foot's notion that demographics is virtually everything (2/3rds of everything, anyway). While it would probably be impossible to actually determine what percentage of "everything" demographics would be able to analyze and explain, it is possible to determine how significant it is. Furthermore, while mere demographic figures may not explain everything, the changing demographics may indeed, explain a great deal. The focus in this paper will be on health care.

Abstract
This paper focuses on two current fields of demographics and health care. The first is the rising frequency of obesity within the population and how increasing frequency of obesity is likely to affect the statistics pertaining to diseases such as heart disease and diabetes. The second area of demographics research is that of smoking, where a strictly environmental activity is likely to replace heart disease as the primary cause of death within the next two decades.

Abstract
This paper explains how demographics for family units have been changing over the past decades in the United States. It shows that there are more single teenage mothers, more single-parent families due to divorce or illegitimacy, and lower-income family units. It explains that these changes are due to a more liberal society and welfare laws.
From the Paper
"Move over Cleaver and Ozzie and Harriet families. It is a whole new world out there. In the 1950s, there may have been the typical family with mother, father and two children, but that is no longer the norm in 2003. In fact, according to a New York Times article, ?for the first time, the number of nuclear families has dropped below 25 percent of American households.? This is the result of a variety of factors: men and women delaying marriage and having children later in life or no children at all; more couples living alone after their children have left; an increase in the number of aging adults living at home; and especially the increase in the number of single-parent families, mostly headed by women."

Abstract
The paper provides a history of Thailand as well as statistics of its demographic make-up. It shows that, while Thailand's economy is one of the fastest growing in the world, 12% of the population live below the poverty line and over 50% are involved in agriculture. The paper examines the challenges of economic advancement with its demographic make-up faced by Thailand, such as alleviating disparity between regions, investing in skilled and creative workers and on the other hand protecting the culture of the people and the natural environment.
From the Paper
"But is Sciolino right her assumption, at least what is expressed in her article that most of the effects of demographics are negative? Its true that Thailand has experienced many social, political and economic changes due to changes in its demographics. For example, Thailand's reproductive revolution has been the catalyst for economic changes. This and other trends of globalization and modernization have transformed Thai society. Women are shying away from having several children to having fewer or none. This is a critical period for Thailand and a culture shift that could have positive effects on the population and the economy."

Abstract
The following fourth year social studies assignment discusses demographics in Greater Toronto Area (GTA) settlements. The writer obtained data from five settlements, and used this data for the thesis.
From the Paper
There are essentially three types of human settlements. They are urban, suburban and rural areas (Ponting). Although the demographics vary within each of these settlement types, a number of patterns do emerge. The Greater Toronto Area (GTA) is an excellent place to study urban, suburban and rural settlements. For this paper the demographic patterns in five different settlements will be examined. These are Toronto, Aurora, Richmond Hill, Newmarket and Bradford. Each of these settlements has differences and similarities with surrounding settlements. However, there are greater similarities between suburban settlements then between urban and suburban settlements.

Abstract
This paper explains that, with the changing of the population make-up in the United States, policy makers need to focus on better nursing care for its citizens. The writer provides demographic data to explain the case and examines nursing care options.
From the Paper
"United States demographics are rapidly changing and will steadily have a greater effect on healthcare needs. New health occupations will be established and other ones strengthened. One of the latter will be family health nursing. For the first time since the beginning of the census, less than a quarter of American households consist of married couples with children. According to the 2000 Census, families headed by women with children grew nearly five times faster in the 1990s than married couples with children. Households of married couples with children under 18 declined from 45 percent in 1960 to 23.5 percent. Also, Americans living alone increased to 26 percent, surpassing homes with families for the first time."

Abstract
The following assignment discusses demographics and diversity in Canada. The paper tracks a number of demographic changes, ranging from the role of immigrants and population growth to aboriginal populations. The paper includes graphs and charts to support the research.
From the Paper
"Canada as a country is going through massive demographic changes. Canada is a multicultural country. For example, in The Regional Geography of Canada Robert M. Bone notes, "Canada has become a multi-ethnic and multi-cultural society" (Bone 190). Was Canada always a multi-ethnic and multi-cultural society? Or did changes in governmental policies encourage a wide range of immigrants to come to Canada? The answer appears to be that Canada has evolved into a multi-ethnic and multi-cultural society."

Abstract
This paper focuses on the effects of an aging population on financial asset (stocks and bonds) returns in the U.S. for the post-World War II period. The first part of the paper provides a brief review of demographic changes that will confront a selected country during the next half century. The next part presents a review of the empirical literature on demographics and financial asset demands. Next, the paper develops a conceptual framework for analyzing how an aging population triggered by falling birth rates and rising life expectancies affects the demand for financial assets. A discussion of the ideal data set and an outline of the challenges that arise in estimating how population aging will alter aggregate demand follows. Next, the paper builds up the actual models used in this paper and discusses actual data and proxies. Finally, the paper presents new findings and tests empirically the relation between aging and asset returns in the U.S. The conclusion summarizes the main findings and notes areas for future study.

From the Paper
"Sell? Sell to whom? This dilemma might haunt the Baby Boomers in the next century as they attempt to unload their assets to pay for retirement. The rising number of middle-aged workers today is the direct result of the Baby Boom generation, those born in roughly the two decades following World War II. It is this high working population ratio, which has often been identified as an important factor for rises in productivity (see Shimer (1998)). As these boomers age, they will have profound social and economic implications for much of the developed world. The large increase in the ratio of retired workers to those in the labor force during the next three decades will place substantial strains on public pension programs. Just in the U.S. anticipated social security expenditures will outstrip income by 2020. In many other developed nations the fiscal prospect is even more daunting than it is in the United States."

Abstract
The demographics of the national defense industry are discussed, including the size of the defense forces and their mission. The major factors facing the aerospace industry today, such as the lack of funds for research and development of new technologies and the loss of U.S. superiority in space, are outlined.
From the Paper
"In the area of national defense, there are two major demographic forces at work. A primary worry is the number of people serving in the armed services, and their missions. An armed service prepared mainly for peacekeeping missions is one very different from one prepared for combat, and today, most of our military force is primarily regarded as a peacekeeping force. Many also believe the military should somehow represent the demographics of our society, which is not always possible or necessary.
Adding to that stress is the notion of some that the U.S. military must replicate society, responding to a variety of domestic demographic and social issues. To presume that the military must replicate society is, we believe, another dangerous notion. While the military must represent society, it cannot replicate society without eroding the very basis of the military's purpose and cohesion (Sarkesian and Connor 435)."

Abstract
This paper examines the current demography of Malta. It looks at how the Maltese have an amazingly homogeneous society, despite millennia of subjugation in their early history. Current figures are provided, and the history is also discussed.
From the Paper
"Malta has been described as a ?crossroads island? with a cosmopolitan, polyglot population ?reflecting the ?ethnic and linguistics mixtures of Phoenician, Arab, Sicilian and British colonial influences?.? (Baldacchino, 2002) In the late Middle Ages, the Maltese Islands were held by Aragonese and Castellan landlords, and, interestingly, spend a very long period?1530 to 1798?as the home base of the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem, a chivalric group that got started during the Crusades and subsequently built a theocracy that ruled Malta in a rudimentary version of the European Union. (Baldacchino, 2002) Perhaps, with this recent history, if not quite within living memory, it was relatively easy for at least half the Maltese to be willing to be the first island nation to vote in favor of membership in the European Union."

Diversity and Demographics, 2005.
A look at how an understanding of diversity is important to a company's long-term growth.

Abstract
This paper points out that there are additional aspects of diversity besides race and ethnicity and that it is important to a company's future that it understand and value all of these aspects.
From the Paper
"Sexual orientation only recently has been recognized as an important aspect of diversity programs. Most diversity programs have a general equality provision that states that an individual cannot be discriminated against based on sexual orientation (Sanders, 2002). Individuals that have a sexual orientation that is considered 'different' from the traditional female/male sexual orientation may face prejudice and discrimination in the workplace, thus it is critical that employers address sexual orientation and incorporate diversity training that specifically addresses sexual orientation."
