Summary & Study Guide - Empty Planet: The Shock of Global Population Decline
The Global Population Will Soon Decline.
The must-read summary of "Empty Planet: The Shock of Global Population Decline," by Darrell Bricker and John Ibbitson.
For many years, pundits and politicians have warned that the growing global population will soon overwhelm the earth's resources. Unless humankind defuses this population bomb, we will face a future of increasing poverty, food shortages, war, and environmental degradation.
But many demographers sound a different alarm. Rather than continuing to increase exponentially, the global population is headed for a steep decline-and in many countries, that decline has already begun.
Empty Planet explains why by the end of this century the problem won't be overpopulation but a rapidly shrinking global populace. It offers a vision of a future that we can no longer prevent-but one that we can shape if we choose. A smaller global population will bring with it many benefits, but enormous disruption lies ahead.
Read this book to find out the key to prospering in this new social, political, and economic landscape.

* Book Summary-helps you understand the key concepts.
* Online Videos-covers the concepts in more depth.
Value-added from this guide:
