The Impacts of Rapid Population Growth on Poverty, Food Production, and the Environment

Allen C. Kelley

No 98-13, Working Papers from Duke University, Department of Economics

Abstract: This survey paper updates what is known about the linkages between demographic change (changes in age distributions, the size and the growth rate of population, and migration) and the capacity of countries to provide food, to reduce poverty, and to maintain their environment. This assessment applies a longer-run perspective, and considers political a well as economic changes and impacts.
