Description

The future shape of our populations will have a profound impact on society. In this new addition to the 21st Century Challenges series, Sarah Harper examines the trends that will shape our world over the coming decades. She dispels common myths about population growth and climate change, instead considering the complex interplay between demographic trends in fertility, mortality, and migration. The book explores key issues facing regions around the globe, including Europe's demographic inertia, Asia's demographic dividend, Africa's high fertility and mortality rates, the youth bulge in the Middle East, and the balancing act of migration in the Americas. Harper concludes by analysing global challenges we must plan for, such as the impact of climate change and urbanization, and the difficulty of feeding a growing population.
