This book examines the major demographic changes that have taken in China in recent decades and the major demographic challenges at the beginning of the 21st century. The extensive evidence presented in the book demonstrates that China has been going through a profound demographic revolution characterized by drastic mortality decline, unprecedented fertility transition, rapid increase of internal migration, fast change in population age structure, and remarkable variations in demographic patterns across different regions and among various ethnic groups. The book systematically analyzes challenges brought about by these changes and their impact on China's future socio-economic development. On the basis of their extensive research and newly available data, contributors to this book provide the latest updated and insightful studies on a wide range of population issues.Less

This concluding chapter places China's population changes in the context of world demographic transition. It shows that China's recent fertility and mortality decline has played a crucial role in controlling world population growth and improving life expectancy. Although contemporary Chinese society has some unique characteristics, China's demographic transition is by and large similar to that taking place in many parts of the world. The examination of demographic changes in China and other developing countries improves understanding of demographic transition in the world.Less

This chapter argues that in the early stages of demographic transition, per capita income growth is diminished by large youth dependency burdens and small working age adult shares: there are few workers and savers. As transition proceeds, per capita income growth is promoted by smaller youth dependency burdens and larger working age adult shares: there are many workers and savers. The early burden of having few workers and savers becomes a boon — a high share of working age adults. This boon disappears as the elderly share rises.Less

This chapter examines Rome's lack of an industrial revolution. Without this momentous change, Rome was subject to Malthusian pressures that limited its economic growth. Yet Malthusian economies can have economic growth, which means having rising standards of living. The Malthusian theory of population change argues that changes in productivity lead to changes in the size of the population, but leave the level of per capita income. The chapter shows dynamics providing a way to acknowledge growing per capita income in the basically Malthusian world of the early Roman Empire. It also provides a way to ask if the Romans could have escaped the Malthusian constraints.Less

This chapter examines the course of population change in Britain from 1830–1914. It shows that economic growth reduced the need to have children just at the time that adults were living longer; they gained the benefit in health and longevity of earlier economic growth and, because they were healthier and lived longer, they could in their turn contribute to continuing that growth. The pattern of population change was, in other words, bound up in the pattern of economic change.Less

Irish land was put to predominantly pastoral use in the early 1980s, as it had been, except under abnormal circumstances, since clearance of the natural forests. The agrarian landscape of the early 1980s clearly bore the imprint of past conditions and influences. The land was either divided among smallholders in the locality or laid out in the new farms for former workers on the estate, landless people, or migrants. The populations in 1981 as compared with 1926 were greater by twenty-two per cent in Northern Ireland and sixteen per cent in the Republic of Ireland, but there had been considerable divergence in trends between the two areas. The most striking feature of the spatial pattern of population change within the Republic and Northern Ireland during the twentieth century had been an eastward shift in the distribution of people.Less

From 2007 until it was closed down by the Coalition government in 2011 HINST operated on the premise that it is possible to narrow gaps in health outcomes by targeting local policy and action. This chapter provides practical examples of approaches to reduce health inequalities and effective practice at a local level. In so doing an insight into issues encountered in developing an applied approach to health inequalities is developed. A ‘Christmas Tree’ diagnostic is unpacked across a series of component principles for commissioning services to reduce health inequalities. The HINST’s experience suggests that it is possible to narrow gaps in health outcomes based on policy action and that a systematic approach can impact on the range of components that constitute the complex problem that is health inequalities.Less

This survey documents Tibetan society over five decades, including population structure in rural and urban areas, marriage and migration patterns, the maintenance of language and traditional culture, economic transitions relating to income and consumption habits, educational development, and the growth of civil society and social organizations. In addition to household surveys completed over twenty years, the book provides a systematic analysis of all available social and census data released by the Chinese government, and a review of Western and Chinese literature on the topic. It covers several sensitive issues in Tibetan studies, including population changes, Han migration into Tibetan areas, intermarriage patterns, and ethnic relations.Less

This introductory chapter establishes the key questions in English agricultural history about the timing of the agricultural revolution and its relationship with the associated industrial and demographic revolutions. It also reviews the major literature on the subject from the contemporary observers of agricultural change, like Arthur Young, to the 19th-century attempts to measure agricultural output. Traditionally the relationships between agriculture, industry, and population change have been studied at aggregate levels, based on assumptions and employing plausible but nonetheless estimates of the levels of output and production. The new approach in this book suggests that the key might lie in a study of the farm records and the farmers themselves, which will allow some real measures rather than plausible estimates to emerge.Less

The nature of tyranny and kingship in the western Mediterranean, and the possible reasons for the prevalence of tyranny as a political system, are contentious issues. This chapter focuses on one particular aspect of tyrants and their deeds — an examination of the demographic changes and instability to which Thucydides refers. It examines the possible connections between tyrants and population change, and the social and cultural effects of such change. Superficially, the sources suggest that there is a strong connection between tyrannical regimes, and the sort of loose linkage between land, polis and people on which Thucydides comments. Forced migration and the encouragement of immigrant groups such as mercenaries become a stock feature of tyrant personae in Greek literature. A study of events at Messana demonstrates that civic and cultural identities were strong and complex, and able to accommodate or even benefit from interventions by tyrants.Less

Population ageing and the lives of older people are often framed by a number of stereotypes and generalisations. It is often misconstrued to be ‘problematic’ for development. However, given the complexity and diversity of development experiences, any claims about the effects of population ageing or experiences of later life must be based on firm, specific evidence. As will be evident in the succeeding chapters, the research study contends that population ageing must be seen as an integral part of development rather than an external threat to it, and that the processes of development are complex and highly variable, giving rise to diverse patterns of population change which lead to diverse experiences of later life.Less

This chapter focuses on the avian migrant's population ecology. The basic equation for population growth states that change in the population over time equals the birth or natality rate minus the death or mortality rate. This type of population growth is referred to as “density independent.” Although no population is truly independent of its size, as population size is what birth and death rates act upon, in density-independent populations there is little interindividual effect on members based on their numbers alone. This chapter describes an alternative model for density-dependent population limitation in multiple habitats. It then considers other models for migrant population limitation that emphasized breeding habitat availability and assumed that nonbreeding-period effects on population size were assumed to be largely density-independent. It also discusses the density-independent and density-dependent causes of population change in avian migrants.Less

This chapter discusses the rise and fall of rodent populations, and classifies these population changes. First, it defines four background issues that must be reviewed before classifying patterns of rodent population changes: population, population density, time step of sampling population attributes, and data needed to test hypotheses about population limitation. Next, the chapter examines data sets to illustrate empirical patterns of population change: (1) lemmings in Siberia and Norway; (2) gray-sided voles on Hokkaido, Japan, and at Kilpisjärvi, Finland; and (3) meadow voles in Central Illinois, USA. Finally, it discusses the time series analysis of population changes and illustrates calculations for several populations of myodes (Clethrionomys) in North America.Less

This chapter provides a comparative population dynamics of rodents and other mammals. Its main objective is to identify the factors that affect population growth rates, and it begins by discussing the evolution of intrinsic processes which regulate population. The chapter then examines the population control of large herbivorous mammals, in which human hunting or poaching is the main cause of population change. A multiple-factor explanation for population changes in small herbivorous mammals is also discussed.Less

This chapter, which presents a case study on the impact of industrialisation on demographic change in Glasgow, Scotland during the period from 1801 to 1914, explains that major changes in industrial and population terms in Glasgow can be divided into two phases. The first phase is the development of a broad industrial base that attracted large-scale waves of in-migration, and the second is the emergence of specialised heavy industries which further increased migration rate. The chapter also discusses the relative roles of natural increase and net migration as components of population change in Glasgow, and considers the absorption of peripheral population groups.Less

The chapter also discusses the relative roles of natural increase and net migration as components of population change in Glasgow, and considers the absorption of peripheral population groups.

This chapter considers population dynamics where the population changes over time, owing to environmental noise, fishing, or both. It first derives the population growth rate with various analytic and numeric approximations. Next, the chapter develops a full numerical solution to the McKendrick–von Foerster equations and uses it to create stylized recovery plans. Last, the chapter describes how a fish stock responds to fluctuations in the recruitment. From there, the chapter develops a general understanding of how a fish stock responds to idealized perturbations: a press perturbation and a continuously varying perturbation. It then makes general expectations of the responses to perturbations in general, citing three rules: lag, averaging, and nonmetabolic scaling of population growth rate.Less
