Nevertheless, the total number of child laborers remains high, with UNICEF and ILO acknowledging an estimated 250 million children aged 5-17 worldwide who are involved as child labor in 2013. There can be many factors that could have an impact on the child labor reduction; however, one of the factors many scholars believe that has a major influence on child labor in most developing countries is migrants’ remittances. The ongoing growth of migration and its massive levels lead to high levels of remittances.

The rate of natural increase is also decreasing in Netherlands. Population Pyramid Netherlands population pyramid has a contracting type as shown below.

Document A shows us how from the time the Policy started it has not positively affected their population crisis it has only worsened it. In Document B we see a different way of the situation. Document B they argue that China’s One-Child Policy has been working by saying that in 1970 the fertility rate was 5.8 but by 1979 it lowered down to 2.7.

CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY Fertility is one of the major components of population growth. The past few decades have witnessed a major decline in world fertility majorly from developed countries, making global and even regional aggregates have widespread diversity in fertility change. In Asia and Latin America fertility declines over the past half century have been very permeating. Between the early 1950s and the early 2000s, the total fertility rate (TFR) dropped from 5.7 to 2.4 births per woman in Asia and from 5.9 to 2.3 births per woman in Latin America. In these regions just a few nations still have fertility rates higher than four births per woman (Bongaarts, 2011).

Crisis: good vs. bad The statistic of crises that occurred after the WWII is tremendous: 139 financial crisis occurred in the period between 1973 and 1997, while just 38 crisis occurred in the period between 1945 and 1971. According to (Dicken, 2011), 255 recessions disrupted 17 western economies in the period from 1870 to 2006, while two-thirds of them lasted less than one year, and 33 of them endured over two years. After the “golden age” and economic growth period from the early 1950s to the early 1970s, the world economy´s patter was uneven with lots of growth (1950s to 1960s, 1994-1995, and 2000s) and recessions (1990s, 1998-1999) (Mitra, 2012).
