Publisher's Synopsis
This collection of 135 short essays published from 2001 to 2020 offers a global perspective on population phenomena and issues. In addition to providing data, information and statistics, the essays also raise critical concerns, ethical questions and policy choices relating to population. In addition to traditional demographic concerns, such as size, growth, distribution, ageing, fertility, mortality and migration, these essays address a wide variety of social, economic, political, legal, environmental and cultural considerations that greatly impact populations.
