👉 Demographic engineering refers to the deliberate manipulation of population characteristics, such as age structure, sex ratio, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status, often through policy interventions or planned interventions. This can involve measures like immigration policies, family planning programs, education initiatives, or even forced relocation to shape the demographic composition of a region or country. The goal is typically to align the population with specific economic, social, or political objectives, such as boosting labor force growth, ensuring a balanced sex ratio, or fostering cultural homogeneity. While proponents argue it can address demographic challenges like aging populations or labor shortages, critics highlight ethical concerns over individual rights and potential human rights abuses.
