@book{330-9900, school = {BFS}, month = {Dec}, abstract = {The world's population reached the 6 billion mark in 1999. By the middle of this new century, it may well number 9 billion. Why is this increase occurring? Will it come to a halt? What are the mechanisms that control population trends? What issues are being raised by population growth? Can we really talk about global population as such, or is it more a matter of different populations following their own demographic rhythms, under a wide variety of economic and social conditions? By touching on these different questions, this publication endeavours to decode the human adventure as it is "measured" by demography.}, language = {EN}, title = {Six Billion human beings}, institution = {Bundesamt für Statistik (BFS), Direktion für Entwicklung und Zusammenarbeit (DEZA)}, publisher = {Bundesamt für Statistik (BFS)}, copyright = {Bundesamt für Statistik (BFS)}, address = {Neuchâtel}, ISBN = {3-303-01119-2}, pages = {44}, year = {1999}, price = {20.65}, number = {340938}, url = {https://dam-api.bfs.admin.ch/hub/api/dam/assets/340938/master} }
