Allan and Anne Findlay argue that a nation's human population is a
vital resource in the development process. Changes in its
composition - increased life expectancy combined with a falling
birth rate, for example - can have profound effects upon a society.
Warfare and mass migration of male workers also have long-reaching
effects on those left behind. The rapid growth of Third World
populations has often incorrectly been identified as the major
force preventing more rapid economic development. Population
pressure has been known to generate technological breakthroughs.
Their final chapter examines family planning programmes, and
concludes by asking who benefits most from population policies and
questioning the right of developed countries to advocate family
planning programmes for Third World nations.
