The Changing U.S. Population and Future Demand for Air Travel.
Explores several aspects of population change and its bearing on future demand for air travel, based on RAND's studies for the National Population Commission: (1) the sudden decrease in Americans' fertility from a three- to a two-child level per family, (2) the increased income enjoyed by a population with fewer children, (3) the population's greater migration and transience, and (4) the tendency for territorially-based communities of the past to give away to "place-less" communities centered around professions, corporations, and widely dispersed networks of families and friends. 11 pp.
