It also contains the best currently available information on global trends in AIDS mortality and the first ever fully probabilistic world population projections. The projections, given up to 2100, add important additional features to those of the UN and the World Bank: they show the impacts of alternative assumptions for all three components (mortality and migration, as well as fertility); they explicitly take into account possible environmental limits to growth; and, for the first time, they define confidence levels for global populations. Combining methodological innovation with overviews of the most recent data and literature, this updated edition of "The Future Population of the World" is sure to confirm its reputation as the most comprehensive and essential publication in the field. date: 1996 date_type: published publisher: Earthscan iiasapubid: XB-96-003 iiasa_bibref: Earthscan, London, UK (1996) iiasa_bibnotes: [ISBN 1853833495] (Revised and updated edition) creators_browse_id: 190 full_text_status: public place_of_pub: London pages: 522 refereed: TRUE isbn: 1853833495 coversheets_dirty: FALSE fp7_type: info:eu-repo/semantics/book citation: Lutz, W.
