Concern over questions of population has increased in the developed market economies in recent years in three distinct but interrelated respects. The most frequently expressed concern relates to population size, especially as it impinges on certain natural resources —water, minerals and land area usable for farming, building and recreation. Linked to that is the question of the rate of population growth, regarded not only as a matter of increasing size but also in terms of the resultant changes in age composition. And, linked in other ways to the size and growth of population, is its geographical distribution: changes in that distribution, through migration—chiefly towards employment— have also become a matter of considerable concern in many countries.
