This chapter is written as a reflection on population changes over the past and future half centuries. Demographic analysis focuses on the processes which add members to populations and which subtract members. The key population processes are therefore fertility which adds babies, mortality which subtracts mainly older adults and migration which adds and subtracts people mainly in the young adult ages. Migration operates on local, national and international scales.
