Chapter 9 in Whither the World: The Political Economy of the Future, 2014, pp 261-292 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Just as the outlines of respective countries would be changing on the economic map if country areas were based on the volume of their output, the situation would be similar for a demographic map. If the population of countries and continents determined their sizes, then the future territories shown on such a map would have significantly different shape to what they have today. Some, like India and Pakistan, would be growing very fast, others, like Europe or Indonesia, almost imperceptibly, and the area of yet some others, like that of Japan and Canada, would be shrinking, as the dynamic of population processes will be unfolding differently for different countries. This stems from a number of cultural and economic reasons, on the one hand, and has far-reaching consequences, also political ones, on the other hand. Demographic processes and human migration is the Seventh Great Issue for the Future.
