| Description: | Professor Tim Dyson of the Department of Social Policy has been awarded a grant from The Wellcome Trust to research India's future: population,
environment and human development. The purpose of the project is to try to understand and foresee the results of
processes likely to be at work in the many linkages between population
growth and economic development in India, with particular reference to
issues of the environment and human development. It will also derive policy
conclusions emanating from the analysis. It is hoped that the study will contribute to the analysis of population change and its effects both for India and for other poor developing countries, and reach a well-reasoned
appreciation of this case that will benefit policy makers in India in particular, and illuminate the population debate in general. |
