Tomorrow's People by Paul Morland
The future of both humanity and the planet depends on the shape of human population growth, the only aspect of our future that can be confidently predicted. In ten thought-provoking chapters, Paul Morland explores ten illuminating trends that will determine that shape, from the fertility rate of Singapore to the ageing of the Japanese.
Compulsively readableRegarding the cultural and political implications of enormous pending shifts in human population, Morland manages to remain admirably neutral; readers can draw their own conclusions. Will the future be better or worse? Only one thing is certain: it will be very, very different. -- Lionel Shriver
Paul Morland provides the demographic key to understanding so much of recent history and contemporary society - from Chinese cities, to global ageing and the rise of Africa. With great authority and an eye for the vivid detail he opens a door that I was scarcely aware of, persuading me that demography really is the master social science. -- David Goodhart
An accomplished whistle stop tour of world demographics. -- Danny Dorling, Halford Mackinder Professor of Geography, University of Oxford
Paul Morland is emerging as the foremost chronicler of today’s global demographic revolution. Through ten striking numbers, Tomorrow’s People relates the breath-taking social changes produced by the spatially uneven transition from population explosion to decline. -- Eric Kaufmann, Professor of Politics, Birkbeck, University of London
