Twenty-First Century India: Population, Economy, Human Development, and the Environment (Hardcover)

The first study of India's development giving a fully integrated account of population and development, built on new projections of the population for fifty years from the Census of 2001. In twenty-five years India's population will exceed 1.4 billion, and will almost certainly pass 1.5 billion by mid-century. The implications of this population growth are then traced out in a range of modelling and analytical work.
