DOWNLOAD EBOOKPopulation growth and economic development are the two major issues which have engaged the attentiono f our planners and policy makers ever since India attained independence. however, equally important issues such as physical and mental health of people, nutrition, education, social inequality and poverty have not received the same attention. It is evidently due to lack of understanding on the part of those who matter, that healthy and well nourished people are the greatest national asset and a prerequisite for any sustainable development, where as ignorance, superstition and social tension are the greatest impediments in the process of development. These facts have been emphasised time and again in most of the anthropological deliberations but with little efect on our planning processes and policies.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe generation into which each person is born, the demographic composition of that cohort, and its relation to those born at the same time in other places influences not only a person's life chances, but also the economic and political structures within which that life is lived; the person's access to social and natural resources (food, water, education, jobs, sexual partners); and even the length of that person's life. Demography, literally the study of people, addresses the size, distribution, composition, and density of populations, and considers the impact the drivers which mediate these will have on both individual lives and the changing structure of human populations. This Very Short Introduction considers the way in which the global population has evolved over time and space. Sarah Harper discusses the theorists, theories, and methods involved in studying population trends and movements, before looking at the emergence of new demographic sub-disciplines and addressing some of the future population challenges of the 21st century. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.
