The population of the modern world continues to grow at a rate
unprecedented in human history. How are we to explain this massive
increase in the number of living people? What is its consequence,
now and for the future? How have populations changed in size and
structure since the advent of industrial technology? Can we predict
the population trends in developing countries? These and many other
significant questions are dealt with in a persuasive yet accessible
manner in Ronald Freedman's pivotal "Population Growth".Modern
population trends are unique in historical perspective; describing
them as part of a "vital revolution" is not an exaggeration. The
more popular term "population explosion" is less accurate because
it refers to only one aspect of the current situation - the
unprecedented growth rates. In the last two centuries other
important trends have developed, also without precedent in all of
the previous millennia of human history. While the size of
population growth is very important in itself, the essays in this
volume demonstrate that many other aspects of structure and change
in populations are equally important.In readable, non-technical
language, these collected essays analyze the most important modern
trends in world population. The essays include comprehensive
discussions of population theory, analyses of population trends,
and prospects in the United States and surveys of population trends
in other major areas of the world. As a survey of current
population problems, this book will be a library staple for those
involved in international development programs, sociologists,
family planning workers, and everyone concerned with the
contemporary vital revolution in population.
