Predicting the shape of our future populations is vital for
installing the infrastructure, welfare, and provisions necessary
for society to survive. There are many opportunities and challenges
that will come with the changes in our populations over the 21st
century. In this new addition to the 21st Century Challenges
series, Sarah Harper works to dispel myths such as the fear of
unstoppable global growth resulting in a population explosion, or
that climate change will lead to the mass movement of environmental
refugees; and instead considers the future shape of our populations
in light of demographic trends in fertility, mortality, and
migration, and their national and global impact. How Population
Change Will Transform Our World looks at population trends by
region to highlight the key issues facing us in the coming decades,
including the demographic inertia in Europe, demographic dividend
in Asia, high fertility and mortality in Africa, the youth bulge in
the Middle East, and the balancing act of migration in the
Americas. Harper concludes with an analysis of global challenges we
must plan for such as the impact of climate change and
urbanization, and the difficulty of feeding 10 billion people, and
considers ways in which we can prepare for, and mitigate against,
these challenges.
