This textbook offers students a detailed picture of Britain's population structure and a discussion of such topics as the pressure of numbers on resources, the stagnation of population growth and the problems of an ageing population, immigration and the racial composition of the population, marriage, divorce, and the future of the family, and how population questions relate to regional problems, labour migration and inner city depopulation and impoverishment. It is intended for undergraduate courses dealing with contemporary population in the fields of geography, sociology, economics, anthropology and the social aspects of medicine, and should also prove useful to civil servants, journalists and other media people.
