Description
Until recently, the world has been preoccupied with over-population, pressure on resources, alarming growth rates, fertility and unemployment. Issues like reduction in population growth rate, increasing longevity, the greying population, reducing fertility rates and overall depopulation have not been considered seriously. Depopulation has led to redistribution. Further, the world economy forces women to choose between career and child. COVID-19 has further aggravated the situation. It appears that population processes are smooth with no major upheavals. But, if we delve deeper, we will find undercurrents happening concurrently which contribute towards population composition. These undercurrents have been swift and cannot be captured by decadal censuses. Hence, one has to depend on alternative sources. Surprisingly, the electronic media has become quite sensitive to population issues. In this book, an attempt has been made to understand these issues differently.
