About the Book

This book makes an interdisciplinary coverage of perspectives on policy, methodology, ecological and cultural basis and consequences of population growth as also the extensive review of population studies of the recent past in two major countries of Asia viz., China and India. Among the contributors are some of the eminent scholars from countries like the U.S.A., Europe, Canada, China and India. The policy papers on Germany and Taiwan form two major models of success in population stabilisation in a developed and a developing countries. Freedman's paper on Michigan model of population training may inspire appropriate human resource development in population studies. The book also makes a good coverage of methodological issues on diverse themes. They include the data reduction on the basis of age and sex, computer application, measuring the delicate and difficult topic of study on abortion, overcoming the problems of data collection, analysis of data for different purposes like life table, regression based estimates, etc. In addition, two chapters devoted to the ecological consequences of rapid population growth and importance of ecological analysis in population studies enrich the coverage and value of this book. A unique contribution in terms of status of population research conducted during 1970-90 in China and India, which may serve as a valuable source of reference to all the future researchers in this field.
