ABSTRACT
In order to address many of the world's most pressing issues, such as hunger and malnutrition, poverty, climate change, and disease, such as the coronavirus pandemic, it is crucial to comprehend population patterns. For decision-makers in politics, industry, science, and other fields looking to make well-informed choices on crucial problems, population data are a crucial resource. This bulletin offers a fundamental understanding of demography and demographic processes, such as fertility, mortality, and migration, as well as their effects on the global population. This freshly revised edition of "Population: A Lively Introduction," which was first released in 1991, helps readers better grasp why current population patterns are important, not only to academics and researchers, but to all of us.
