Population Growth and Economic Development in Low-Income Countries"-A Review

Though the writers have used a rather general title and have added a small part towards the end which may justify it, it is obvious that the study by Coale and Hoover is essentially what its sub-title indicates, namely, 'A Case Study of India's Prospects.' It is a serious study and bears the mark of careful and painstaking work throughout, and is an important addition to the literature on problems of Indian economic development.
