Population Studies

Edited by Edith Gray and Zhongwei Zhao

Published 2013

This new 4-volume series compiles some of the most important works in demography. Globally, population issues are of increasing concern to governments and other policy-makers. Particularly over the last fifty years or so, there have been many iterations of the population ‘problem’. From overpopulation to population ageing, to ultra-low fertility, this new four-volume collection from Routledge brings together the most important thinking about, and theories on, population to enable users to make sense of a vast—and rapidly expanding—corpus of scholarship.

The series contains a full index, together with a comprehensive volume introductions written by the editors to place the collected material in its historical and intellectual context. For researchers, students, and policy-makers, it is as a vital one-stop research and pedagogic resource.

Dr Edith Gray is Deputy Director and Fellow, ARC Australian Research Fellow, ADSRI.

Professor Zhongwei Zhao is Professor of Demography, ADSRI.
