RELATIONS AMONG SELECTED MACROECONOMIC INDICATORS AND NATALITY

Abstract

From the very beginning of the mankind, the population of our planet has been increasing. This phenomenon is caused by the need of every organism to reproduce and expand. Since the WWII, annual growth of the world population has been slowing down. According to most of the prognoses, the present-day youth has a real chance to experience the era during which the size of the population will reach its peak and will begin to decrease. The decreasing natality trend is common for all developed economies in the world. This negative trend brings many changes to national economies. This development will be compared to the development of selected macroeconomic indicators. The article aims to determine whether there are some macroeconomic indicators leading to the fact that the natural reproduction instinct of people is suppressed.
