this paper tries to survey irans regional labor market disequilibrium within 1996-2000. according to the results there has been an increase in the amount of disequilibrium of irans national as well as regional labor markets. incomplete labor market information on vacant job opportunities in different regions of the country along with high costs of migration have been the major causes of unemplo...

population growth can greatly impact on greenhouse gas emission pattern in the future. considering the importance of population growth in climate change studies, the present research concentrates on the population growth of the middle east in the late 21th century based on the iiasa population scenarios. under the projections of a1-b1 scenario, the world’s population will grow up to 8.7 billion...

Purpose: This paper examines the economic effects of the demographic transition in developing countries. Findings: Based on data from the World Bank and using a sample of forty-three developing economies, we find that the growth rate of per capita GDP is linearly dependent upon population growth, both the young and old dependency ratios, the mortality rate, and whether or not the rate of popula...

Understanding the factors that drive population dynamics is fundamental to species conservation and management. Since the golden-cheeked warbler Setophaga chrysoparia was first listed as endangered, much effort has taken place to monitor warbler abundance, occupancy, reproduction and survival. Yet, despite being directly related to local population dynamics, movement rates have not been estimat...

This article addresses the sustainability of festival populations from the perspective of organizational ecology theory, and in particular age and density dependence. Data from whole populations of festivals in three Norwegian counties are examined. Analyses of festival start-ups demonstrate that the number of events in each county had risen faster than population growth before plateauing, and ...

Individuals may be maladapted to novel environments at the species’ distribution margin. We investigated population dynamics in a marginal habitat where reproduction has been proven poor. Survival, population growth rate (l) and its components, breeding and natal dispersal were studied in great tits Parus major breeding at the northern margin of its distribution in northern Finland. We used lon...
