The following summary is taken from the Key Findings of the 2015 Revision of the UN Population Division’s World Population Prospects (United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs Population Division, 2015) and is purely to provide an overview of future population change. The global development challenges of future population change are broad and a comprehensive review is beyond the scope of this pilot learning journey. This report instead focusses on the areas highlighted by DFID at this stage of the journey with the addition of addressing the fertility challenge.
This literature review is the second section of a two part review in to population dynamics. This second section of the review attempts to address what are the most significant implications of these dynamics for international development, as currently articulated in the most up-to-date literature.
