"Home to close to 60 per cent of the world's population, Asia is the largest and by
far the most populous continent. It is also extremely diverse, physically and culturally.
Asian countries and regions have their own distinctive histories, cultural traditions,
religious beliefs and political systems, and they have often pursued different routes
to development. Asian populations also present a striking array of demographic characteristics
and stages of demographic transition. This handbook is the first to provide a comprehensive
study of population change across the whole of Asia. Comprising 28 chapters by more
than 40 international experts this handbook examines demographic transitions on the
continent, their considerable variations, their causes and consequences, and their
relationships with a wide range of social, economic, political and cultural processes.
Major topics covered include: population studies and sources of demographic data;
historical demography; family planning and fertility decline; sex preferences; mortality
changes; causes of death; HIV/AIDS; population distribution and migration; urbanization;
marriage and family; human capital and labour force; population ageing; demographic
dividends; political demography; population and environment; and Asia's demographic
future"
