Description
Summary:This paper investigates the patterns of demographic development specific to populations of certain countries during the past few decades of liberalization and globalization. The time period ranges from 1961 to 2011, examined on the whole and on ten-year intervals. The analysis relies on cross-country comparisons between natural change and net migration, which are the factors responsible for shaping a country's total population. According to our analysis some countries benefit from international migration flows while in others the exchange of populations takes the dominant form of one- way outflow, generating a substantial worsening of the demographic situation, with all the negative consequences on development prospects.
