TL;DR: In this paper, the main states of India are broadly grouped into two demographic regimes, i.e., northern kinship/low female autonomy and southern kinship /high female autonomy, and the analysis suggests that family social status is probably the most important element in comprehending Indias demographic situation.

TL;DR: For many years it has been known that in virtually no human population has the level of fertility ever approached the potential biological maximum as mentioned in this paper, and the seeds of two basic ideas-first that the prevailing fertility is the outcome of a balance of factors, and second that even in a high-fertility population birth rates could possibly risehave long been germinating.

TL;DR: Although future general food trends are likely to be positive, in some respects the world could be entering a more volatile world because of an increasing degree of mismatch between the expansion of regional demand and the potential for supply.

TL;DR: The authors brings new evidence to bear on aspects of the demographic transition, with contributions from leading demographers, anthropologists, sociologists, and historians, and ranges widely over the history and current experience of both developed and developing countries with particular emphasis on Asia and Africa.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the future of population and food in terms of Potentials and Constraints, with a focus on the future demand and supply of food. But they do not consider the future economic conditions.
