On the bicentennial of Malthus' legendary essay on the tendency of
population to grow more rapidly than the food supply, this book
examines the impacts of population growth on 19 global resources
and services, including food, fresh water, fisheries, jobs,
education, income and health. Despite current hype of a 'birth
dearth' in parts of Europe and Japan, the fact remains that human
numbers are projected to increase by over 3 billion by 2050.
Populations in rapidly growing nations are in danger of
outstripping the carrying capacity of their natural support systems
and governments in such situations will find it increasingly hard
to respond to crises such as AIDS, food and water shortages and
mass unemployment. Beyond Malthus examines methods such as the
expansion of international family planning, investment in educating
young people in the developing world and promotion of a shift
towards smaller families which will represent the most humane
response to the possible ravages of the population explosion.
