An aging population represents a major drag on a country's economy. Japan is often considered one of the worst nations in terms of aging: one third...
So if Laurent’s English errors are the result of translating everything he says in English from French, and if the French don’t use the present continuous tense, then why does Laurent nearly always speak English using the present continuous tense? Doesn’t make sense does it! It seems ob...
In addition, the impact of the environmental factor may appear as an adaptation to nature, which can influence travel mode choice. This study uses core land area, population density, average temperature, and annual rainfall as environmental variables to capture the impact of this most uncontrollable...
But what does this mean for care as a practice or form of work? We want to suggest that the telecare systems currently being promoted in the UK arbitrarily (although, as we will demonstrate below, ultimately unsuccessfully) attempt to divide care work into three distinct activities. Broadly, ...
transitions from one phase to the other are identified by a changing mix of issues relative to migration. In phase 1, the focus lies on the promotion of emigration to alleviate population pressure emanating from substantial population growth; the population pressure was exacerbated by large-scale ...
see high levels of growth within the construction equipment sub-sector over the next few years as massive infrastructure projects will be required to satisfy population growth. As a result, M&A is expected to remain high, with new entrants looking to move into the more developed markets by ...

The differences between the values of the measure for individual regions (or in relation to the population mean value) illustrate the scale of value differentiation within the examined sample. Development measures according to Hellwig’s linear ordering method were estimated for individual municipalities ...
Such a reconfiguration relates to societal challenges created by a declining and ageing population, and a location in the Highlands of Scotland with relatively poor accessibility [27]. We investigate the types of impacts that SI produces and discuss whether the impacts of CF as a form of SI ...
Studies were included if they: (1) were original articles published in English-language peer-reviewed journals; (2) reported the use of WAI method to identify the perceived neighborhood environment correlates of walking activity in healthy older adults with a mean age of ≥55 years. Studies were...
