Dempgraphy

Abstrakt We współczesnym świecie zagrożenia asymetryczne odgrywają rosnącą rolę w konfliktach zbrojnych. Prowadzi to do zacierania się granic między wojna i nie-wojną, a także żołnierzami i nie-żołnierzami, bronią i narzędziami politycznymi. Jedna z broni stosowanych w asymetrycznych konfliktach zbrojnych jest oparta na demografii. Rola tej broni D jest wciąż niedoceniona mimo jej różniącego znaczenia w obecnych i przyszłych konfliktach. Słowa kluczowe: demografia, broń, wojna asymetryczna, konflikty zbrojne, migracja, żywe tarcze, czystki, przyrost naturalny. Abstract In the contemporary world asymmetric threats play a growing role in armed conflicts. This makes blurring the borders between war and not-war as well as combatant and not-combatant, weapon and political tools. One of the weapons used in asymmetric armed conflicts is based on demographics. Role of this D weapon is still underestimated despite its growing role in present and future conflicts.

The study examines the economics in the Nigerian population structure to reveal the dynamics and potentials of the population beyond the almost 200 million persons. The theoretical and empirical literature is replete with contenting debates and outcomes of the effect of population but few have analysed the discuss of population structure, especially in the context of populated developing countries like Nigeria. The descriptive narrative from the J Billeter index indicated that Nigeria population is a youthful population, which pose a huge potential and sensitive to economic growth. Hence, the prospect for economic growth (demographic dividend) hangs on the investment in human capital especially in equipping the dominating working-age population and economically engaging them. if not a demographic disaster is expected in the form of restive and unemployed youths.
