Economic Progress and Declining Population Growth (1939)

""Economic Progress and Declining Population Growth"" is a book written by Alvin H. Hansen in 1939. The book explores the relationship between economic progress and declining population growth, arguing that the two are closely intertwined. Hansen argues that as societies become more economically advanced, they tend to experience declining birth rates and an aging population. This, in turn, can have significant economic implications, including decreased demand for goods and services, a shrinking workforce, and increased pressure on social welfare systems. The book also examines the role of government policy in addressing these issues, including the potential for immigration to offset declining population growth. Overall, ""Economic Progress and Declining Population Growth"" offers a detailed analysis of the complex interplay between economic development and demographic trends, and remains relevant to discussions of these issues today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
