Description

This important new book contains discussions of population trends in nearly 50 countries worldwide. Each one has its own mixture of historical and economic circumstances. Increasingly, a large majority have declining fertility ratios, although a few – mainly in sub-Saharan Africa (Nigeria and Ethiopia southward) -- have continued growth as high as the 5.0 to 6.0 range. These also are nations where agriculture remains the dominant occupation. Replacement in the United States is now 1.8; without immigration (including illegal migration) the U.S. population would now be slowly falling.

The author examines the planet-wide implications of such a change by discussing several sociological, economic, sociological, and natural developments that may stem from such a fundamental change in world population trends. Thus far, these trends have not, for the most part, sunk into popular consciousness. Except for some demographers, most of us still live in an imaginary era of continuous population increase. Within a century, many of these trends will have changed fundamentally.
