Reviews

The UN-sponsored international population conference held recently in Cairo demonstrated again that the population growth versus economic growth debate is often passionate and misinformed. This volume, prepared in anticipation of that conference, is an excellent summary of the current scientific literature on population issues. Contributors are well-known demographers, economists, and sociologists--all of whom take a policy perspective... A well-documented, dispassionate, but very readable introduction to the complexity of population issues. Highly recommended for all audiences. --J. T.
