By most accounts, Europe has been mired in a "demographic crisis"
since about 1970. By a demographic crisis is meant that Europe's
dependency ratio is increasing, and the net result has been
declining populations and fewer workers to sustain society.
However, there are certain issues that need attention. Two topics
seem to capture some of these issues: The implications of the
possible crisis, and the crisis' assessment. The present volume is
organized around both topics (implications and assessment). There
are at least three contributions being made by the proposed volume.
To begin with, while there are other issues related to the
demographic crisis in Europe the present volume should motivate
additional research. Secondly, the research in the proposed volume
does not necessarily assume that there is a demographic crisis in
Europe nor that it is consistent across national lines. Thus, each
chapter, in essence, examines a different issue associated with the
proposal that there is a crisis. Finally, the present volume makes
several methodological contributions. For example, the chapter by
David Swanson uses non-Bayesian modeling in studying infant
mortality. Richard Verdugo examines the dependency ratio and
selected factors on economic growth in selected European nations,
Kposowa and Ezzat conduct an assessment, Martins examines variation
in the path toward a crisis, Johnson examines humanitarian
migration and the crisis, Edmonston examines the association
between geopolitics and the crisis.
