Mortality and Politics

Mortality and politics, within the framework of political demography, examine how death rates and population health influence political dynamics. High mortality can reflect poor governance, impacting public trust and stability. Conversely, lower mortality rates often correlate with improved healthcare, economic growth, and demographic shifts that can affect voter behavior and policy priorities. Understanding these relationships helps explain how changes in population age and health can shape political landscapes, electoral outcomes, and social movements, ultimately influencing government policies and the power structure within societies.
