About the product

Everyone interested in population, environmental and development issues, will find this publication very useful. It traces the history of national and international approaches to the population question from the 1960s to the mid 1990s and the progress made in reducing rapid rates of population growth and high levels of fertility. It seeks to articulate the full complexity of the debate and to locate the population question firmly in the nexus of the 'population-environment-development' triangle. The book accompanies analysis with citations of the relevant documents and sources and is supplemented by a wealth of demographic tables, graphs and annex material.
