This book studies the origins and development of population geography as a discipline. It explores the key concepts, tools, and statistical and demographic techniques that are widely employed in the analysis of population. The chapters in this book:

  • Provide a comprehensive geographical account of population attributes in the world, with a particular focus on India;
  • Study the three major components of population change — fertility, mortality, and migration — that have remained somewhat neglected in the study of human geography so far;
  • Examine the salient social, demographic, and economic characteristics of population, along with topics such as size, distribution and growth of population;
  • Discuss major population theories, policies, and population-development-environment interrelations, thus marking a significant departure from the traditional pattern-oriented approach.
  • Well supplemented with figures, maps, and tables, this key text will be an indispensable read for students, researchers and teachers of human geography, demography, anthropology, sociology, economics, and population studies.
