  The American Enterprise Institute is one of the leading conservative think tanks. The AEI, and the conservative movement in general, have an interest in a more religious population, since religious voters are more likely to vote Republican and for conservative parties elsewhere in the world. Therefore, one needs to skeptical of research emanating from a think tank with a strong ideological bias; especially when that research serves the interests of the institution.

Across the world, "population change is reversing secularism and shifting the center of gravity of entire societies in a conservative religious direction." The same will be true here in the United States, where religious families have more children than non-religious ones.

It's easy to underestimate the role that population change can have in social change, Kaufmann says, but it can have a huge role, especially when differences in values drive differences in fertility

the fringe of ultra-Orthodox pupils in Israel's Jewish primary schools in 1960 has ballooned: they now comprise a third of the Jewish first grade class. They are gaining power: in Jerusalem, Haredim rioted in late December, demanding the right to segregate women on buses, and have already elected the city's first Haredi mayor.

the ultra-Orthodox may form a majority of observant American and British Jews by 2050

In the United States, Republicans have a similar values-driven fertility advantage -- an advantage, Kaufmann argues, which will outweigh the Democratic advantage of increased immigration, in part because many immigrants are conservative on social issues and maximalist in their family planning.

nd dairy regulation decreased, driving a new incentive and ability to trade with other nations.
...

Cancel
s a result, the dairy market tends now toward undersupply.
...

Cancel
But from December 2013 to February 2014, Chinese demand grew to 20-25% of all global dairy imports, with much of the supply coming from the US and New Zealand.
...

Cancel
New Zealand is the world's largest dairy exporter, accounting for nearly one-third of the global dairy trade.
...

Cancel
Many of the nation's cows graze in fields, and a big drought in 2013 caused national milk production to plummet nearly 30%.
...

Cancel
The US started exporting more dairy, capturing more international market share but pushing up domestic prices.
...

Cancel
It's not all bad news for New Zealand, though. Traditionally, when the price of dairy goes up, farmers expand operations and produce more milk, thus lowering prices down the line.
...

Cancel
The increase in supply could eventually lead to cheaper prices in the US, but not for several months.

Cancel
US franchises including KFC, Ihop, Subway, The Cheesecake Factory, Jamba Juice and Papa John's Pizza have all staked claims in the Middle East, with more chains looking to follow.

Cancel
A young, newly urbanised population in the Middle East is demanding more dairy imports.
...

Cancel
That removed an estimated $6.6bn (£4bn) in annual dairy trade from the global market. In 2013, the EU alone exported $3bn of dairy to Russia, of which cheese accounted for more than one-third.
...

Cancel
In response, the European Commission has announced it will provide financial support to the dairy industry, subsidising private storage of cheese, skimmed milk powder and butter until they can be sold at a later date.

Cancel
But it will take a little while to see those changes reflected in American supermarkets.
