About the Book:
Originally published in 1978, this book by Geoffrey Hawthorn addresses the critical global issue of high and low fertility rates in poorer countries. It includes a series of case studies from leading experts in the fields of development and demography. The book explores vital issues such as:
-
The relationship between fertility rates and income distribution in poor societies
-
The adequacy of neo-classical macroeconomics to understand and influence the relationship between economies and populations
-
The specifics of how fertility relates to various socio-economic factors in regions like South Asia and West Africa
Through these case studies, the book argues that general models can only be applied to a limited extent and that those who overlook the structural complexities and regional differences of various societies are missing crucial insights.
