Demographic And Social Consequences Of A Shift From A Growth To A Stationary Population Model For South Dakota Counties : 1960-1970, Sharon Kunkel

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Consequently, one cannot turn to historical precedents for insights into the consequences of a no-growth population. In fact, most of the literature written on the subject is mainly conjecture. This problem is also timely since it is projected that zero population growth will soon be a reality …
