About the product

The direct and provocative suggestions outlined in this book on how to ease international migration pressures will surely work as a catalyst for action. The study alerts us to the likelihood of further massive migration due to the overturning of the space-population ratio, the deterioration of the relationship between economic growth and employment and the rise of income differences, and calls for firm action before the point of total unmanageability is reached. Among the suggested measures, the study emphasizes the urgent need for reducing population growth in developing countries, and the development of exceptional programmes for increasing the level of employment in the South.
