This volume examines the significant role population science played
in British colonial policy in the twentieth century as the imperial
state attempted to control colonial populations using new
agricultural and public health policies, private family planning
initiatives, and by imposing limits over migration and settlement.
A Problem of Great Importance traces British imperial efforts to
engage metropolitan activists who could improve its knowledge of
colonial demography and design programs to influence colonial
population trends. While imperial population control failed to
achieve its goals, British institutions and experts would be
central to the development of post-colonial population programs.
Researchers, scholars, and historians of British history will gain
greater perspective into the effects of demography on imperial
governance and colonial and post-colonial British views of their
place in the world.
