    This study explores ethical dilemmas in population policy, introducing Leximin principles for comparing societal well-being across different population sizes. Critical-Level Leximin principles are deemed more ethically sound than Positional-Extension Leximin.

    Area of Science:

    • Social Sciences
    • Ethics
    • Economics

    Background:

    • Policy decisions significantly impact population size and characteristics.
    • Ethical considerations are crucial for social security, resource allocation, and fertility policies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and characterize Leximin principles for social evaluation in an intertemporal framework.
    • To enable comparisons of social alternatives with varying population sizes.

    Main Methods:

    • Characterization of Leximin principles using axioms like Hammond Equity and Independence of the Utilities of the Dead.
    • Application of Positional Leximin Consistency for non-constant critical levels.
    • Comparison of Critical-Level Leximin and Positional-Extension Leximin in pure population problems.

    Main Results:

    • The study provides characterizations for Critical-Level Leximin and Positional-Extension Leximin principles.
    • Ethical attractiveness of Critical-Level Leximin principles is demonstrated over Positional-Extension Leximin.

    Conclusions:

    • Critical-Level Leximin principles offer a more ethically robust framework for intertemporal social evaluation.
    • The findings inform ethical decision-making in population-affecting policies.
