Population Change in the United Kingdom by Tony Champion

Population Change in the United Kingdom by Tony Champion

This book documents the fundamental transformations of the UKs population that have major implications for the economy, society, politics and environment.

[T]he editors have delivered a book that will serve as a benchmark in demographic research for the next 25 years…Champion and Falkingham have brought together contributions that collectively provide an authoritative portrayal of the transformations occurring over the last quarter of a century. Whilst each chapter offers new insights into changes in the structure and composition of the population or the underlying behavioural processes and their outcomes, the volume as a whole provides a comprehensive and very useful synthesis of the complex and interrelated nature of socio-demographic dynamics. It is indeed a worthy successor to Joshi’s collection published in 1989 and one that I feel sure that many academics and policy makers will refer to in the years ahead. * Population, Space, and Place *
The volume is well conceived and executed. The tables and charts, as one would expect from the BSPS and editors, are a model. * Population and Development Review *
How much has population changed in Britain? Where has it changed? What has been driving changes? Where might they be heading? This book considers births, deaths, migration (external and internal), ageing, social and spatial inequalities, ethnicity, families, households and sexual behaviour. These important essays by leading experts are all the more valuable, as the government no longer publishes regular commentary. -- Heather Joshi, Emeritus Professor of Economic and Developmental Demography at the Centre for Longitudinal Studies, University College London
The population in the United Kingdom is changing fast. This volume guides us through the key drivers and implications of population change in a careful, rigorous and fascinating way. Demography, as a science, was born in Britain more than three centuries ago. It is alive and kicking, and more relevant than ever before. -- Francesco C. Billari FBA, Professor of Sociology and Demography, University of Oxford
