During the last half century, Southeast Asia has undergone
tremendous social, political, and economic change. This volume
chronicles the extensive demographic transformations that have
accompanied those changes, documenting how public health and other
policy interventions contributed to rapid population growth and how
new patterns of settlement and migration ensued. More recently,
changing opportunities for young adults have revolutionized
marriage and fertility choices and raised concerns about population
aging.
The authors consider the recent demographic histories of the
region alongside government policies intended to manage population
growth rates; improve access to education, employment, and health
services; influence levels of internal and international migration;
and address environmental concerns. This groundbreaking study of
postcolonial Southeast Asia addresses many of the contemporary
demographic challenges facing the citizens and governments of the
increasingly mobile and globalized region of Southeast Asia.
