Extract

Population trends in Great Britain have been discussed at the Institute on three occasions since the Second World War. The first occasion was in 1949 following the publication in that year of the Report of the Royal Commission on Population. The second was in 1956 on a two-part paper submitted by Benjamin, Cox and Menzler which dealt not only with the situation in Great Britain but also with the wider—and fundamentally more important—problems of world population and resources. More recently, the changing age distribution of the population of England and Wales was discussed in Benjamin's paper on Ageing.
