The new edition of Population and Development offers an up-to-date
perspective on one of the critical issues at the heart of the
problems of development for all countries, and especially those
that seek to implement major economic and social change: the
reflexive relationships between a country's population and its
development. How does population size, distribution, age structure
and skill base affect development patterns and prospects? How has
global development been affected by regional population change?
Retaining the structure of the well-received first edition, the
book has been substantially revised and updated. The opening
chapters of the book establish the theoretical and historical basis
for examining the basic reflexive relationship, with exploration of
the Malthusian perspective and its critics to examine how
population change affects development, and exploration of the
Demographic Transition Model and its critics to examine how, why
and to what extent development drives population change. These are
followed by empirically rich chapters on each of the main
components of population change - mortality, fertility, internal
and international migration, age structures and skill base - each
elaborating key ideas with detailed and contrasting case studies
from all regions of the developing world. There are concluding and
more integrative discussions on population policies and global
population futures. Bringing together Population Studies,
Development Studies and Geography, the new edition of Population
and Development is a key resource for undergraduate and
postgraduate students across a range of programmes with specialist
modules on population change. There is a large bibliography, with
major new sections identifying a wide range of online resources for
further study. Each chapter contains a reading guide with
discussion questions. The text is enlivened by a number of case
studies from around the world, most of which are new or have been
substantially revised. Written by a leading international scholar
in population, the book successfully integrates cutting-edge
academic research with the focus and efforts of international
development agencies.
