The highly acclaimed The Future Population of the World contains
the most authoritative assessment available of the extent to which
population is likely to grow over the next 50 to 100 years. The
book provides a thorough analysis of all the components of
population change and translates these factors into a series of
projections for the population of the world's regions. This revised
and updated version incorporates completely new scenario
projections based on updating starting values and revised
assumptions, plus several methodological improvements. It also
contains the best currently available information on global trends
in AIDS mortality and the first ever fully probabilistic world
population projections. The projections, given up to 2100, add
important additional features to those of the UN and the World
Bank: they show the impacts of alternative assumptions for all
three components (mortality and migration, as well as fertility);
they explicitly take into account possible environmental limits to
growth; and, for the first time, they define confidence levels for
global populations. Combining methodological innovation with
overviews of the most recent data and literature, this updated
edition of The Future Population of the World is sure to conform
its reputation as the most comprehensive and essential publication
in the field.
