Produktbeschreibung

This volume concentrates on all aspects of the population and poverty problem: what poverty is, what effects poverty has, what creates poverty, and what can be done to eradicate it. By collecting together papers from a variety of disciplines, and by combining detailed empirical study with the necessary theoretical frameworks, the editors are able to clearly identify the most important themes and potential solutions to a problem that the world cannot afford to ignore.
