About this book

While the 20th century was the century of population growth with the world's population increasing from 1.6 to 6.1 billion, this book shows that this trend is set to end and that the 21st century will be the new century of population ageing. This first volume in the Population and Sustainable Development Series examines the impacts of the end of population growth and the beginning of this new demographic.

Contents

The end of world population growth; applications of probabilistic populations forecasting; future human capital - population projections by level of education; literate life expectancy - charting the progress in human development; interactions between population, environment, development and agriculture in Africa - a case study on Ethiopia; interactions between education and HIV - demographic examples from Botswana; China's future urban and rural population by level of education; population, greenhouse gas emissions and climate change; conceptualizing population in sustainable development - from "population stabilization" to "population balance".
