The world's population has grown by five billion people over the
past century, an astounding 300 percent increase. Yet it is
actually the decline in family size and population growth that is
the issue attracting greatest concern in many countries. This
eye-opening book looks at demographic trends in Europe, North
America, and Asia-areas that now have low fertility rates-and
argues that there is an essential yet often neglected political
dimension to a full assessment of these trends. Political decisions
that promote or discourage marriage and childbearing, facilitate or
discourage contraception and abortion, and stimulate or restrain
immigration all have played significant roles in recent trends.
