All go

37、od men are international. Nearly all bad men are cosmopolitan. If we are to be international we must be national. And it is largely because those who call themselves the friends of peace have not dwelt sufficiently on this distinction that they do not impress the bulk of any of the nations to which

38、they belong. International peace means a peace between nations, not a peace after the destruction of nations. And in the case of national character this can be seen in a curious way.

43、ion is structured into age groups. And in particular, I shall discuss two aspects of age structure-first, different age structures in different countries, and second, the effects of different age structures.But first, what do I mean by this term “age structure“? Perhaps these graphs will help. They

44、show the age structures of two countries-Mexico and Sweden. The left-hand side of each graph represents males, and the right-hand side represents females. The horizontal axis indicates the percentage of the population in different age groups. And the vertical axis indicates age. As you can see, Mexi

45、cos age structure is very different from Swedens. Mexicos is shaped like a pyramid, with a very wide base. In Mexico, large families are common; childrens death rates are also very much lower than they used to be, and so the result is a rapidly expanding population.In Sweden, on the other hand, the

46、age groups are much more evenly distributed. Swedens age structure shows a society that has been industrialized for a long time. A constant birth rate and a low death rate in early and middle age result in this almost rectangular shape that tapers off at the top as people die of old age. In other wo

47、rds, Swedens population is stable in size.So much for age structures themselves. Now, what about the effects of different age structures? Well, we know that women have children when they are between the ages of about 15 and 45. And it is generally true that the larger the proportion of women of child-bearing age, the faster the population growth. Lets consider two imaginary countries-Sunnary and Rainland. Both countries have 100,0
