| Description: |
Addresses relevant questions like: Will population growth reduce the growth rate of per capita income because it reduces the per capita availability of exhaustible resources?; how about for renewable resources; will population growth aggravate degradation of the natural environment?; and does more rapid growth reduce worker output and consumption? |
| Synopsis: |
This book addresses nine relevant questions: Will population growth reduce the growth rate of per capita income because it reduces the per capita availability of exhaustible resources? How about for renewable resources? Will population growth aggravate degradation of the natural environment? Does more rapid growth reduce worker output and consumption? Do rapid growth and greater density lead to productivity gains through scale economies and thereby raise per capita income? Will rapid population growth reduce per capita levels of education and health? Will it increase inequality of income distribution? Is it an important source of labor problems and city population absorption? And, finally, do the economic effects of population growth justify government programs to reduce fertility that go beyond the provision of family planning services? |
