Demography is the scientific study of human populations. Classical
demography has at its core three processes: fertility, migration,
and mortality. To be human is to be part of the demographic
process, so contemporary studies of population focus not only on
the implications of population size and change, but also on how
social influences affect individual behaviour and how actions at
the individual level contribute to the composition of the
population. Globally, population issues are of increasing concern
to governments and other policy-makers. Particularly over the last
fifty years or so, there have been many iterations of the
population 'problem'. From overpopulation to population ageing, to
ultra-low fertility, this new four-volume collection from Routledge
brings together the most important thinking about, and theories on,
population to enable users to make sense of a vast-and rapidly
expanding-corpus of scholarship. With a full index, together with a
comprehensive introduction, newly written by the editors, which
places the collected material in its historical and intellectual
context, Population Studies is an essential work of reference. For
researchers, students, and policy-makers, it is as a vital one-stop
research and pedagogic resource.
