Population dynamics of the United States and the Soviet Union

BB Torrey and WW Kingkade

Center for International Research, U.S. Bureau of the Census, Washington DC 20233.

Population growth in the United States and the Soviet Union is slowing. Since the 1970s, labor force growth in both countries is slowing even more than population growth, and both countries are aging. Economic effects of slowing growth can be compensated for by increased participation in the labor force and increased productivity and by adjustments in the military forces. Economic flexibility and policy choices will determine how successfully the trend to slower population growth will be accommodated.
