Description

The future shape of our populations will have a profound impact on society. In this book, Sarah Harper examines demographic trends in fertility, mortality, and migration to understand the challenges we face in the coming decades. Harper explores population trends by region, highlighting key issues such as demographic inertia in Europe, demographic dividend in Asia, high fertility and mortality in Africa, and the youth bulge in the Middle East. She also considers the impact of climate change and urbanization on global populations, and discusses ways to prepare for and mitigate these challenges. By understanding population trends, we can better plan for the future and address pressing issues such as feeding a growing global population.
