Economic Progress and Declining Population Growth

＂＂Economic Progress and Declining Population Growth＂＂ is a book written by Alvin H. Hansen, an American economist. The book explores the relationship between economic growth and population growth, arguing that declining population growth can actually be beneficial for economic progress. Hansen argues that as populations age and fertility rates decline, there are fewer young people entering the workforce, which can lead to labor shortages and increased demand for labor. This can lead to higher wages, increased productivity, and ultimately, economic growth. The book also explores the potential consequences of declining population growth, including changes in social structures, changes in family dynamics, and shifts in political power. Hansen’s arguments are supported by a wide range of data and research, making this book a valuable resource for anyone interested in the relationship between population growth and economic development.This is a new release of the original 1939 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
