The book describes the major transformations in the world’s demographic landscape over the period from 1946 to 2050, in particular the vast imbalance between the countries of the North, especially in Europe, which are underpopulated but rich, and those of the South, often overpopulated and poor.
It examines the main changes observed over the last 50 years and those that are forecast by the United Nations population projections for the period up to 2050. The authors also stress some of the challenges related to demographic change over the long term.
