The Future of Low Birth-Rate Populations

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"The Future of Low Birth-Rate Populations" assesses the demographic situation, the policy alternatives and the significance of future changes in fertility and mortality rates, and then discusses what can be done to minimize the losses and maximize the gains attendant upon an aging and ultimately dwindling population. It regards demographic aging as both inevitable and desirable, and contends that the social consequences will depend largely on the policies with which societies respond.
