| Summary: | The projections of world population to the year 2300 are ground-breaking in two respects: they extend the time horizon to 2300 (previous long-range projections were to 2150), and they include country forecasts (previous long-range projections were available by continent only). Such long-reaching projections are needed by environmental scientists, policy makers and others who assess the long-term implications of demographic trends. The report includes a set of essays by well-known thinkers in the population field, reflecting on these and other findings. These essays, which greatly enrich the debate on future world population, are by Alaka Basu, Herwig Birg, John Caldwell, Joel Cohen, David Coleman, Paul Demeny, Timothy Dyson, Francois Heran, Jay Olshansky, Michael Teitelbaum, Charles Westoff and John Wilmoth.
