“A remarkable contribution to development studies as well as the fields of demography and political economy. The carefully selected and meticulously edited book chapters enhance our understanding of the largely under-studied linkages between economic growth and demographic transition in the Third World countries. The book chapters highlight the importance of migration, education, employment, gender, and environmental dynamics in shaping this complex and chaotic relationship between economic growth and demographic transition in the developing Third World countries. One of the key contributions of this volume lies in its original use of the chaos and complexity theories in making sense of this multifaceted set of relationships.”
—Dr. Oktay F. Tanrisever, Professor and Chair, Department of International Relations, Middle East Technical University, Ankara, Turkey
