Our lives are surrounded by diverse demographic changes and transitions, including low birth rates, an aging population, uneven population distribution, and increasing immigration.
The 4th edition of Introduction to Population Geography provides guidance on how to understand and explore such phenomena and what countermeasures should be taken.
The author is Professor Bruce Newbold of McMaster University in Canada, who has contributed greatly to the development of population geography through his extensive research.
Although it includes basic formulas, models, and techniques, unlike typical demographic books, it is not overly technical and includes interesting cases from around the world at a level that beginners can easily digest.
Therefore, even those who are not geography education or majoring in geography can easily utilize this as a learning tool at a general level. The various national and regional cases introduced here are also very useful as policy benchmarking resources.
