demographics

Most threads talking about a larger/more populous/more powerful Canada go the route of "Southern Expansion," giving Canada more of the Midwest, Great Plains, and PNW. That requires a much earlier POD though, usually War of 1812 or before. I'm more curious about the capacity to develop Canada...

Hello there! It's been a while since I last made a Hungary demography thread; that is getting rectified now. This one's a bit different from the others however. This time, I'm trying construct a list of largest cities for Hungary in a scenario inwhich the country doesn't suffer its OTL fate of...

Say Japan is able to scramble up enough cash, perhaps from a greater victory or a much earlier Sino-Japanese War, to make war on Spain for her colonies in the East Indies before the Unites States does in 1898. In addition, the loot from this victory against may allow Japan to pursue a purchase...

IOTL the USSR underwent rapid demographic transition coupled with catastrophic events that stripped its population to levels well below its potential, given Russia's vast land and resources. With a POD after the second world war, is it possible for the Soviet Union to encourage rural settlement...

https://www.guillaumeblanc.com/files/theme/Blanc_secularization.pdf Many people believe that the French demographic decline started after the French Revolution, when in fact it started as early as the 1730s. The cause of this is theorised to be early secularisation, but why this early...

Hello, I was quite impressed with the work done on this thread (https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/demographics-of-a-surviving-austria-hungary-again.532307/), and was wondering if anyone here had the knowledge to do the same for the German Empire. Differences between this thread and...

If the USSR and Poland, during the expulsion of the Germans from Pomerania and Silesia, decided to forcibly send all the expelled Germans to the Soviet Occupation Zone instead of allowing them to move to the Western Allied occupation zones preventing freedom of movement, as well as not allowing...

Without immigration, how can a country increase its fertility rates and population growth?

Quite some time passed since I posted this thread: https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/demographics-of-a-surviving-austria-hungary.488463/ Since then, I kept revisiting the topic starting from scratch every time. At this point, I finally reached a point where I'm more or less...

Throughout the 19th century and until 1945, France had the lowest birth rate in Europe, while its neighbors had a great demographic expansion, but what would happen if France maintained a higher population growth? How could I do it? How this would affect, for example, the colonization of Algeria...

With a POD in 1820, how can we have the population of Brazil, by 2020, be bigger than OTL (212 million) and what PODs are necessary to achieve this? @Vinization @Gukpard @Guilherme Loureiro @unprincipled peter @Galba Otho Vitelius

With a POD as far back as 1900, have it so the average Total Fertility Rate (or TFR) is at or above Replacement Level (2.1 children per woman) in developed countries. Some can be a bit lower (1.8-2.0), but they must be balanced out by countries with a higher TFR (2.1 or above) to where the...

There are many threads discussing the possibilities of more white-majority nations/colonies or white-minority rule lasting longer in Africa, but now I want the opposite of that With a POD of 1815, have the white (Non-Hispanic) population of the US ITTL's 2020 be smaller than it is IOTL (190...

Inspired by the maximum population of Denmark and Highest Scandinavian population possible thread, what is the possible maximum population of Sweden could support? how high do you think the it could have been?

What if there was a large emigration from France to other parts of the world? What if France had an emigration similar to that from England to the USA or from Portugal to Brazil? Perhaps with France allowing the Huguenots to leave instead of massacring them, they could go to Canada or...
