India: Towards Population and Development Goals

By Abusaleh Shariff, K. Srinivasan, Wasim A. Zaman, et al.

This comprehensive and authoritative volume presents fundamental data on population and development in India. Based on the new approach to population and development policies announced at the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD), at which 179 nations approved the ICPD program of action, the book emphasizes that population, poverty, patterns of production and consumption, and the environment are so closely interconnected that none of them can be considered in isolation. Presenting recent trends in key demographic, social, and economic indicators, this report demonstrates the effect of national development programs in India on the quality of life.
