Land Reforms in States and Union Territories in India

by P. K. Agrawal

Overview

Population geography is a large branch of geography that contains several different topics related to the world's population. The first of these is population distribution, which is described as the study of where people live. World population is uneven as some places are considered rural and are sparsely populated, while others are more urban and are densely populated. Population geographers interested in population distribution often study past distributions of people to understand how and why specific areas have grown into large urban centres today. The book deals with population explosion in the world. It also assesses the impact of government policies and programmes on population growth, and highlights what remains to be down to achieve an optimum quality of life. Contents: Human Population . Theories of Population . Human Migration . Population Cycle . Metapopulation . Economics and Population.
