[Mortality as a central process in society (author's transl)].
Population politicians and population planners face great difficulties in the realization of their goals. They are obliged to set preferences in their work such as an increase in the birth rate. They overlook that preferences are not empirical phenomena which can be measured in the same way as the rate marriage, death and birth. Therefore the population politician makes his decisions according to ideological concepts which is not too successful. Appeals to the common sense only surface old prejudices and views. The same is true of an appeal to religious principles. Myths, misconceptions and dubious rules of thumb are unnecessarily generated. An attempt is made to explain demographic problems in industrial societies with the example of the development of the death rate. The goal is to bring problems closer to a solution by documentation and interpretation which have far reaching consequences for the society and its economy.
