8 Billion and Counting
How Sex, Death, and Migration Shape Our World
Langbeschreibung
As the world nears 8 billion people, the countries that have led the global order since World War II are becoming the most aged societies in human history. At the same time, the world's poorest and least powerful countries are suffocating under an imbalance of population and resources. In 8 Billion and Counting, political demographer Jennifer D. Sciubba argues that the story of the twenty-first century is less a story about exponential population growth, as the previous century was, than it is a story about differential growth-marked by a stark divide between the world's richest and poorest countries.
Jennifer D. Sciubba is an associate professor of International Studies at Rhodes College. She is a former demographics consultant to the United States Department of Defense and the author of the author of 8 Billion and Counting and The Future Faces of War.
