Global Demographic Change

Cameron Gordon

Chapter Chapter 16 in Many Possible Worlds, 2023, pp 443-466 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract For millennia, the general pattern of world population was one of high-mortality and high fertility, i.e. families with large numbers of offspring (on average) paired with high death rates across the population. This is a gross generalisation, with many exceptions over time and space. The Industrial Revolution changed this pattern irrevocably, with significant economic and social consequences.
