      abstract = {This paper summarizes new scientific evidence supporting  the hypothesis that among the many factors contributing to  international development, the combination of education and  health stands out as a root cause on which other dimensions  of development depend. Much of this recent analysis is  based on new reconstructions and projections of populations  by age, sex and four levels of educational attainment for  more than 120 countries using the demographic method of  multi-state population dynamics. It also refers to a series  of systems analytical population–development–environment  case studies that comprehensively assess the role of  population and education factors relative to other factors  in the struggle for sustainable development. The paper also  claims that most concerns about the consequences of  population trends are in fact concerns about human capital,  and that only by adding the ‘quality’ dimension of  education to the traditionally narrow focus on size and age  structure can some of the long-standing population  controversies be resolved.},
