An Economic Perspective on Population Growth,
Abstract
The approach of the paper is, first, to develop a simple model of family behavior in which reproductive behavior is central; second, to identify how economic development and the acceleration in population growth affect the family's environment; and third, to infer from this framework what consequences, both transitory and permanent, are likely to follow from mounting population pressures.
