Abstract

The report discusses the emergence of the Socio-Economic Soft Matter (SE-SM) as the result of interactions between physics and economy. First, demographic changes since the Industrial Revolution onset are tested using Soft Matter science tools. Notable in the support of innovative derivative-based and distortions-sensitive analytic tools. It revealed the Weibull type powered exponential increase, with a notably lesser rising rate since the crossover detected near the year 1970. Subsequently, demographic (SE-SM) patterns are tested for Rapa Nui (Easter) Island model case and for four large 'hallmark cities' where the rise and decay phases have occurred. They are Detroit and Cleveland in the USA and Lodz (former textile industry center) and Bytom (former coal mining center) in Poland. The analysis explicitly revealed scaling patterns for demographic changes, influenced by the historical and socio-economic backgrounds and the long-lasting determinism in population changes. Universalistic features of demographic changes are discussed within the Socio-Economic Soft Matter concept.
