Features: This book is an academic work. It discusses the relationship between population growth and social development in France since the 19th century, pointing out that the slow increase in population numbers is, to some extent, out of step with the process of modernization, even becoming a bottleneck during the period of social transformation. Through the methods of historical analysis combined with theoretical critique and comparative studies, it provides a strong analysis of the causes, responses from both the government and the public, as well as the negative effects. The book conducts an analysis and research on the population and social issues in France since the 19th century, including population quantity, structure, distribution, population theories, and government population policies, among many other aspects.
