The main contribution of this book lies in its focus on real
alternatives in future population growth. At some time-taken as
1956 in India for this case study-a low-income country may have the
option of effectively promoting the reduction of fertility, or (by
inaction) of permitting fertility to remain at high levels. This
book clearly shows the nature and extent of the economic gains
resulting from fertility reduction. Since most low-income areas are
destined for rapid population growth even with substantial
fertility declines, the emphasis is placed between moderately rapid
and very rapid growth. The extensive quantitative population
projections show the importance of the growth rate itself and of
changes in age distribution in addition to population size. The
results for India have direct implications for all low-income,
primarily agrarian areas entering a program of economic
development. Originally published in 1958. The Princeton Legacy
Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make
available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished
backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the
original texts of these important books while presenting them in
durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton
Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly
heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton
University Press since its founding in 1905.
