In 2002, China is the most populous country in the world and India, the second most populous. India gains population rapidly and eclipses China in total population in 2037.
Half of the world’s more developed countries (MDCs), including those in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, are expected to experience population declines over the next 50 years. The United States is the only MDC expected to be among the ten most populous countries in 2050.
MDCs will experience aging populations, while LDCs will have a “youth bulge.” Nearly 50% of the world’s population could be less than 18 years old by 2020.

WHAT DO WE NEED TO DEAL WITH IN 2008?
• No Growth in 2007 (a small loss in fact),• Too small number of Higher Grade Members,• Financial Constrains: Decreased Income for R10
while costs of travel increased and # of Sections significantly increased…….
• Inactive Student Branches, 37%• Need for extra benefits of IEEE Membership
– (eg IEEE Credit Card for India)
