Population and Development

Beschreibung

Guides the reader through the demographic transition's origins in the Enlightenment and Europe, through to the rest of the world. This title examines how its processes have underlain previous periods of sustained economic growth; helped to liberate women from the domestic domain; and, contributed greatly to the rise of modern democracy.
