The demographic transition and its related effects of population growth, fertility
decline and ageing populations are fraught with problems and controversy. When discussed
in relation to the global south and the modern project of development, the questions
and answers become more problematic. "Population and Development" expertly guides
the reader through the demographic transition's origins in the Enlightenment and Europe,
through to the rest of the world. While the phenomenon continues to cause unsustainable
population growth with disastrous economic and environmental implications, the author
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. This accessible and expert analysis will enable any student
or expert in development studies to understand complex and vital demographic theory
