As a rule, after the publication of the report of the Statistical Office resound already regularly sirens to warn against Extinction Slovak nation. This year, alarm bells rozozneli unusually already in May. The Reason? State precisely department oklahoma city population of social affairs, began to contemplate changes to the social benefits to support detných families.
Immediately sounded ominous, reminiscent of communist China, the term "one child policy", again, the press revealed that the "demographic curve develops catastrophic" and said the experts warn that "Slovakia is dying." During the first decade of the 21st century, the population increased "moribund" Slovakia is about 1% and exceeded 5.4 million inhabitants. Never in history did not live between the Tatras and the Danube so many people and never in history been so much in the world of ethnic Slovaks. oklahoma city population Therefore, rather than with joy bells approaching the bed in order to meet their patriotic duty to rescue oklahoma city population the nation from destruction, oklahoma city population let us put the numbers oklahoma city population in perspective: can still reach for sinful contraception. Around 1970, we were in Slovakia 4.5 million, around 1950, about 3.5 million and around oklahoma city population 1920 lived in Slovakia less than 3 million people. We were in 1970 extinction? Or maybe in 1950? If so, then we are in 1920 were dying out as a dodo. But where we are today, then all of a sudden they come from? Of course: not only we did not die out, Slovak society despite their former oklahoma city population nepočetnosti and many times smaller proportion of educated people than today, was constructed in the early 20th century and earlier in the 19th century, many of its most valuable cultural oklahoma city population and artistic works. It is quite obvious that the smaller their population is neither a demographic oklahoma city population disaster or national-cultural disaster from which we had to jump into goosebumps. Slovaks are a small nation and a population of Slovakia corresponds to the population of a small country. The world has yet to be alive and live thousands of smaller nations such as Slovak and also about 90 less populous states. The size of the national population while nothing can predict the quality of life of its citizens: if ľudnatosť have some explanatory value, apparently by telling us "what populous country, the worse are its inhabitants." Judge for yourself: the most populated countries in the world are China, India, USA, Indonesia, Brazil, Pakistan, Nigeria, Bangladesh, Russia ... Among the 20 most populous countries in the world are just three economically and socially developed countries - the US, Japan and Germany. Let us look for updates to the list of countries by Human Development Index published annually by UNDP: the top 20 countries oklahoma city population see five countries with a population of over 50 million - the US, Germany, Japan, South Korea and France. Half of them have less than 10 million, and Finland, Singapore, Norway, Ireland, New Zealand and Iceland even less than Slovakia (Denmark and in substantially the same number). In other words, to a large population there is no golden path to prosperity. Before you pay "Small is beautiful - and thriving." It can also be argued that it is desirable rather low population density - because it is in each case more natural resources. Among the 20 countries with the highest Human Development Index (Slovakia therein 35th place) is equal to half the lower population densities than Slovakia - Austria, Ireland, USA, Sweden, Finland, New Zealand, Norway, Canada, Australia and Iceland. The greater the depletion of vital natural resources - oil, soil, water, oklahoma city population gas, and many others - humanity is facing, the more significant is their availability for the prosperity of countries. Inevitably will be, as it is today, a better chance at prosperity of the country with less population density. Since Slovakia oklahoma city population can not expand, population density may decrease as population decrease. It is completely misleading to suggest oklahoma city population that consideration of the limitations of state aid for the first child have something in common with the "one child policy". While we have a democracy, everyone has the right to have as many children as they can raise - the role of the state is not paying any child diapers, strollers, Sunar and Cosmetics. On the contrary, it is in the interest of future prosperity for the state to stop childbearing support under the "pro-population measures". It is time to end the promotion of births in order to provide payers of income for today's generation: the idea that recalls the birth of children for the army, and to be honest, would you like to be a child, the parents beget to them who had to earn a pension? Finally, at least, secular media could dampen promoting archaic ideology of "love and multiply": it was formed in an environment where the nomadic tribes lived on Earth 50 million people and the territory of Slovakia may be 50,000. If they are 100 years to live in Slovakia, 3 million people, it will not be the extinction or catastrophe, only adapt to the new reality. The author is a doctor, works
