About the Book

Immigration plays a pivotal role in population change, particularly in developed countries, and is a significant factor in many developing nations. This insightful text examines the ways in which immigration influences population size, composition, and distribution. Through a demographic lens, the book addresses key socio-political issues, offering insights into whether immigration stimulates the economy, strains healthcare systems, or challenges national identity through shifting racial and ethnic compositions.

By delving into critical demographic topics such as fertility, health, education, and age and sex structures, the book provides students with a nuanced understanding of the impact of immigration. It encourages readers to rethink immigration's role in shaping society and presents new frameworks for understanding its complex societal implications.
