Tomorrow's People - the future of humanity in ten numbers
The great forces of population change - the balance of births, deaths and migrations - have made the world what it is today. This book explores how the same forces that have changed our past and present are shaping our future. Illustrating this through ten indicators, from the fertility rate in Singapore (one) to the median age in California (forty-three), we see how demography is both a powerful and an under-appreciated lens through which to view the global transformations that are currently underway.
