The Future Population of the World: What Can We Assume Today? - Softcover

Reseña del editor

The scenarios outlined in this book are already used more widely than any other official analysis - including those of the UN and World Bank. It provides a thorough analysis of the components of population change - fertility, mortality and migration - and translates these factors into a series of projections for the population of 12 world regions. The projections are all compiled by the world's leading demographers, and are the first to explicitly take into account the possible environmental limits to growth, and to consider a range of other germane factors, such as the impact of AIDS.
