Home to close to 60 per cent of the world's population, Asia is the
largest and by far the most populous continent. It is also
extremely diverse, physically and culturally. Asian countries and
regions have their own distinctive histories, cultural traditions,
religious beliefs and political systems, and they have often
pursued different routes to development. Asian populations also
present a striking array of demographic characteristics and stages
of demographic transition. This handbook is the first to provide a
comprehensive study of population change across the whole of Asia.
Comprising 28 chapters by more than 40 international experts this
handbook examines demographic transitions on the continent, their
considerable variations, their causes and consequences, and their
relationships with a wide range of social, economic, political and
cultural processes. Major topics covered include: population
studies and sources of demographic data; historical demography;
family planning and fertility decline; sex preferences; mortality
changes; causes of death; HIV/AIDS; population distribution and
migration; urbanization; marriage and family; human capital and
labour force; population ageing; demographic dividends; political
demography; population and environment; and Asia's demographic
future. This handbook provides an authoritative and comprehensive
reference for researchers, policymakers, academics, students and
anyone who is interested in population change in Asia and the
world.
