I come to bury (population) growth, not to praise it

Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: In this paper, I reflect on regional perspectives on a postgrowth world, taking the case of population loss as my example. Building on existing knowledge and illustrating with descriptive examples, I highlight three aspects of population loss that bear further study-its ubiquity, dynamism, and geography. I close by emphasizing the importance of researching, thinking about, and engaging with population loss, to contribute to our understanding of a world of less, not more.
