Must-know 2014 US macro outlook: The crack in the debt ceiling (Part 8 of 10) Corporate profits and investments The below graph reflects the dynamics of savings and investment in the USA versus consumption and corporate profits through calendar 2013. The yellow line reflects an ongoing decline in the national savings rate from roughly 20% of gross domestic product, GDP, to 12% of GDP today. Plus, personal savings (the green line) as a percent of disposable personal income had declined from around 10% during the Reagan years to a low of closer to 2% during the housing bubble—though personal savings have recently bounced back to near 7% as a result of the weak economy. As for investment, the grey line reflects an ongoing decline from around the 20% of GDP level to closer to 15% of GDP today, while the long-term fixed asset component of private domestic investment (the blue line) has declined from 8% levels prior to 2001 to more recent levels averaging closer to 4%.
Tourisme noir
Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. Le tourisme noir[1], appelé aussi tourisme sombre[2] (dark tourism pour les anglophones[3]) tourisme macabre ou thanatourisme[4], est une forme controversée[5] de tourisme qui consiste à organiser la visite payante de lieux étroitement associés à la mort, à la souffrance ou à des catastrophes (par ce fait, on parle également de tourisme de catastrophe). Généralement lié à l'histoire locale du pays[6], il peut s'agir d'aller visiter les vestiges d'une catastrophe naturelle[7],[8], un camp de concentration[9] ou un mémorial (voir tourisme de mémoire) et parfois les lieux d'un fait divers[10],[11].

Population ageing
Population ageing is a phenomenon that occurs when the median age of a country or region rises due to rising life expectancy and/or declining birth rates. There has been, initially in the more economically developed countries (MEDC) but also more recently in less economically developed countries (LEDC), an increase in life expectancy which causes the ageing of populations. This is the case for every country in the world except the 18 countries designated as "demographic outliers" by the UN.[1][2] For the entirety of recorded human history, the world has never seen as aged a population as currently exists globally.[3] The UN predicts the rate of population ageing in the 21st century will exceed that of the previous century.[3] Countries vary significantly in terms of the degree, and the pace, of these changes, and the UN expects populations that began ageing later to have less time to adapt to the many implications of these changes.[3] Overview[edit]
Population decline
Population decline can refer to the decline in population of any organism, but this article refers to population decline in humans. It is a term usually used to describe any great reduction in a human population.[1] It can be used to refer to long-term demographic trends, as in sub-replacement fertility, urban decay, white flight or rural flight, but it is also commonly employed to describe large reductions in population due to violence, disease, or other catastrophes.[2] Definition[edit]
Clickable World Map
This political world map depicts all the countries with their administrative boundaries. The countries have been shown in bright colours, to facilitate easier distinguishing of one country from another. Our world is divided into not just geographical boundaries, but political divisions as well. This system helps in asserting laws and peace around the world. Political maps help people understand specific boundaries, and understand the geographical location of important places in the world.
