Sinossi
Why is the birth rate so low? How fast is the population ageing? What is the true picture of immigration into Britain? This is the only textbook which offers students a complete picture of Britain's population structure. It follows a synthetic approach to focus on the more important and interesting developments and so builds up an integrated picture of the British demographic scene.
It offers an informed discussion of such issues as the problems of paying for a growing pensioner population, shortages of young workers, the high rates of divorce and illegitimate birth, geographical and social differences in health and mortality trends.
Significant changes are taking place in the composition and distribution of the British people through immigration from the New Commonwealth and elsewhere, movement between town and country, and between North and South. The authors explain how and why these changes have occurred.
They describe the development of all these patterns and trends in the British population during the twentieth century, and suggest what the future may hold. At a time of EC integration, it is important to know how distinctive the British population is. The authors place British trends in an international context through frequent comparisons with Europe, the United States, and other industrial countries. The comprehensiveness and detail with which these issues are dealt will make the book required reading for undergraduate students in departments of geography, demography, labour economics, and town and regional planning, and for businesses interested in understanding the causes of the growth and decline of their labour force and market.
