An Analysis of the Impact of Macroeconomic Variables on Births and Deaths

Abstract

Macro-socioeconomic changes can act as important drivers of population change by affecting fertility and mortality. The main purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of macroeconomic fluctuations on fertility and mortality and to explore directions for population policies that take into account macroeconomic conditions. The results of this study confirm the importance of addressing the issue of youth employment in responding to fertility decline. This suggests that population policies need to be broadened to include the unmarried youth population. The findings on the impact of economic fluctuations on health and mortality highlight the need for health policy formulation to take into account the fact that changes in macroeconomic conditions can affect health and mortality.
