Auf der Welt leben gegenwärtig mehr als 5 Milliarden Menschen, davon ungefähr 3,8 Milliarden in den Entwicklungsländern. Besonders in den Ländern der Dritten Welt ist die Bevölkerung nach dem 2. Weltkrieg rasch gewachsen. Welche Probleme ergeben sich aus dieser Bevölkerungsentwicklung? Dieser Frage wird in dem Konferenzband der Jahrestagung 1988 der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Bevölkerungswissenschaft nachgegangen. Diskutiert werden Trends und Konsequenzen des Bevölkerungswachstums, soziokulturelle Probleme in der Dritten Welt und die Probleme der Ernährung und der Familienplanung in der Dritten Welt. Der Band richtet sich sowohl an Wissenschaftler als auch an Entwicklungspolitiker. Er gibt einen umfassenden Überblick über die möglichen Folgewirkungen der demographischen Entwicklung und zeichnet ein optimistischeres Bild des Bevölkerungsproblems als die meisten Publikationen in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten

Rothenberg's book contains three lectures read at the Center
of Planning and Economic Research in Athens. The author starts by
arguing that the problem of welfare comparisons over considerable time
intervals is simply that the populations being compared in the two
periods are not unchanged. The normative criteria economists usually use
for making welfare comparisons an unchanging population, i.e., each
individual must be present in the various situa¬tions that are compared.
The author, by contrast, intends to examine situations where only some
individuals are present in one of the two situations com¬pared. His
treatment of the linkage between two situations over time is based on
two key assumptions: i) the population composition changes almost
conti¬nuously, ii) the new additions to the population are familiarly
linked to the exist¬ing members. The author concludes that under certain
simplifying assumptions— e.g., that the utility function of each
individual remains unchanged through life and that parents act on behalf
of their heirs—no important problem of intergenerational comparability
arises except where intertemporal externalities are involved.
