title: Population growth and economic development revisited with reference to Asia.
abstract: "This article takes another look at the old issue of population growth and economic development in the context of recent developments and with the benefit of the increasing stock of knowledge on the subject.  It first presents a demographic perspective; then it analyzes the implications of population growth with respect to such integral aspects of economic development as human capital accumulation, income distribution and poverty, the environment, and sustainable economic growth.  The approach in each case is to review the theoretical considerations, survey the empirical evidence, and then draw policy implications.  An overall conclusion with implications for policy caps the paper."  The geographical focus is on Asia.
