Description
This study presents a contemporary picture of Europe's population, detailing birth rates, immigration, mortality, family formation and dissolution. Illustrated with numerous tables and graphs, it considers some of the causes of observed trends, such as economic pressures, the spread of new values, and the importance of family policies in creating an ageing Europe threatened by population decline.
