The world's population is now estimated at over 5 billion, and
projections call for a continued high growth rate, predominantly in
the less-developed countries. Concern over the consequences of this
situation has led to numerous public policy debates, and the
complex interrelationships between population and technology have
become an important new topic in demographic research. The papers
in this book are based on a symposium entitled aEUROoeTechnological
Prospects and Population TrendsaEURO arranged for the 150th
National Annual Meeting of the American Association for the
Advancement of Science in New York City in May 1984. The book
focuses on clarification of the impact that technological
development and population change have on one another. For
instance, how may population and related socioeconomic trends be
conditioned by expected or foreseeable technological changes? What
is the impact of population on technology in both the developed and
newly industrializing areas of the world? Linking demography with
developments in the major areas of agriculture, education,
contraception, longevity, and health care, the distinguished
contributors offer diverse yet integrated perspectives on what is
fast becoming one of the major issues of our time.
