Malaysia's Demographic Transition: Rapid Development, Culture, and Politics (South-East Asian Social Science Monographs)

This work is a major contribution to the understandingof the demography of Malaysia--a country abundant in land and natural resources, but with a long history of a shortage of people and human resources. The book looks at changes and differentials in fertility behavior, the causes, and the consequences. It outlines the modern history of changes in Malaysia's population and the economic, social, political, and cultural context within which the changes have occurred.
