This exciting new book presents the field of social demography,
animating the study of population with a vibrant sociological
imagination. Gregg Lee Carter provides multiple demonstrations of
how taking a demographic perspective can give us a better
understanding of social phenomena once thought to be largely the
products of culture, politics, or the economy. Five key chapters
concentrate on (1) the social and individual determinants of
fertility, mortality, and migration; (2) the social and individual
impacts of changing levels of fertility, mortality, and migration;
and (3) the impacts of overpopulation on the environment, and how
changes in the environment, in turn, impact the human condition,
especially regarding migration. What gives these analyses coherence
is how each emphasizes the ways in which demographic forces both
reflect and limit individual choices. Written in a straightforward
and engaging style, and without getting bogged down in academic
debates, this concise book is the ideal introduction and primer for
courses in social demography and population and society.
