Reviews

The Routledge Handbook of Asian Demography is a much needed compendium of data and analysis on the causes and consequences of the population changes underway in Asia. A lineup of superstar contributors carefully examines the commonalities and the diversity of Asia's demographic transitions. The volume will be indispensable not only for students and scholars but also for policy makers, program managers, journalists, and others interested in the evolution of population and Asia's development in the twenty-first century. Peter J. Donaldson, President Emeritus, Population Council
