Uganda impacts (/implications)

Back 2

Economic:
-more schools (teachers and equipment) needed - demand for primary schools will increase from 3.3 million in 1991 to 7.2 million in 2021
-rapid population growth means increased demand for electricity
-rapid pop growth lead to over population, which lead to over cultivation taking nutrients out of the soil, decreasing soil fertility -> yield decreased 12% in 5 years.
-unemployment -> in 2005, population rose by 5%, where as the GDP only rose by 1.2%
-increased pressure on healthcare - 6000 mothers giving birth a year and also HIV/AIDS spreads more due to the young-uneducated-having sex, as well as mother to child.

Social:
-school dropouts increase - for example 40% of mothers are still in their teens. this then means lack of education for the future.
-teenage mothers having to give up lives to look after children

Political:
-government brought in free contraceptives

UK impacts /(implications)

Back 5

-pressure on the pension system (not enough working age, too many elderly -> 60% of the population are working age, who pay for 19% of the population who are elderly).

-working population isn't big enough for a good pension, so 7% of the elderly live in poverty

-increased pressure on healthcare services -> average stay per night for over 65 was 11 nights, 8 as a total pop average.

Front 6

UK management

Back 6

-retirement age will be increased -> now 60 for women and 65 for men, will be 68 for everyone in 2050.

-encouraging immigration of working age people -> since 2004, UK has allowed unlimited immigration within the EU. (80% of immigrants were 34 or younger)

-encouraging women to have babies -> women are now offered state pensions even when they take a career break to encourage them. also working family tax credits allow men and women to go back to work after having children, encouraging them.
