Recenzii

`Deserves to be read by anyone interested in the implications of persistent low fertility and consequent deomgraphic ageing.' - Population and Development Review

`With its bold ideas about no-growth and negative-growth populations scenarios, the book is bound to stimulate debate.' - Population Today

`The book can be confidently recommended to the non-population expert as well as to demographers themselves. [It is] clearly and cogently written... Lincoln Day makes an excellent case that a stable population with more old people could be a more sustainable and harmonious society.' - Australian National University Reporter

`... lucid ... should be of substantial interest to scholars in the fields of demography, sociology, gerontology and European studies.' - Choice
