This book addresses systematically and quantitatively the role of
educational attainment in global population trends and models.
Seven background chapters summarize past trends in fertility,
mortality, migration, and education; examine relevant theories and
identify key determining factors; and set the assumptions that are
subsequently translated into alternative scenario projections to
2100. These assumptions derive from a global survey of hundreds of
experts and five expert meetings on as many continents. Another
chapter details their translation into multi-dimensional
projections by age, sex, and level of education. The book's final
chapters analyse the results, emphasizing alternative trends in
human capital, new ways of studying ageing and the quantification
of alternative population, and education pathways in the context of
global sustainable development. An appendix and associated web link
present detailed results for all countries. The book shows that
adding education to age and sex substantially alters the way we see
the future.
