Case Study - 14 to 18 (Question Id - 97)
The public health evolution since 1945 is epitomized by the experience of the Algeria. In 1946, the death rate of
Algerian Muslims exceeded Sweden’s in 1775. By 1954, in spite of the guerrilla war against France, the Muslim
death rate in Algeria was lower than Sweden’s in 1875. Since the second quarter of the twentieth century, and
specially since World War II, the poor countries of the
world – often called “developing countries”, more euphemistically and hopefully – have experiences phenomenal
falls in death rates and equally phenomenal increase in the numbers and share of the world population. From 1930
to 1990, the population of the world’s developing countries (that is, everywhere except Europe, North America,
Australia, New Zealand and Japan) more than triple from 1.3 billion to 4.1 billion, and grew from 64 percent of world
population to 77 percent.

By the second quarter of the twentieth century, improvements in administration and transport made it possible to
prevent local epidemics and famines from causing massive deaths. The population history of India illustrates the
effects of controlling major lethal episodes. In 1891, the population of India was about 236 million, a bit less than
the 1990 population of the United States. Over three decades from 1991, the average annual population growth
rate was about 0.17 percent. The population enumerated in the census of 1901 was slightly below that in 1891
because of several famines during the decade. The population counted in 1921 was slightly below that in 1911
because of the influenza pandemic of 1918-19. After 1921, uncontrolled bursts of deaths from famine and disease
stopped, while fertility remained high. From 1921 to 1951, the average annual population growth rate exceeded 1.2
percent. The rate of growth increased by a factor of more than six.

From 1929 onward, demographers observed the historical pattern and developed the theory of demographic
transition. Those who thought the depressed fertility of the great Depression was permanent worried about the
prospective decline of the populations of European Origin. But the demographers who took seriously the historical
pattern of demographic transition, such as Frank W. Notestine, founder of Princeton University’s Office of
Population Research, foresaw a potential for Demographic growth in the world’s poor countries. They supposed
that modernization in the less developed region, which was necessary to alleviate poverty, would cause death rate
to fall before birth rates. They forecasted rapid population growth in the large regions, that had then hardly
modernized, including most of Asia, Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean and large islands populations of south
east Asia. The less Developed countries would benefit from population policies that could shorten the gap between
the fall in the death rate and fall in the birth rate.

The forecasts of some demographic transition theorists before and after World War II went in the right direction,
but not far enough. No one guessed how large, the coming wave of population growth would be. Here are some
examples, in the order in which they published. In 1936, Raymond Pearl and Sofia Gould projected 2.645 billion
people by the end of the twenty first century. (That population size was surpassed before 1955.) In 1949, an
Australian economist, Colin Clark, projected a 1 percent annual increase to 3.48 billion by 1990. (The actual
population in 1990 was 5.3 billion.) The United Nations, projection published in 1951 estimated world population in
mid-1950 around
2.4 billion people and projected a 1980 world population between 2.976 billion and 3.636 billion.
(The 1950 population was probably closer to 2.5 billion, and the 1980 population was 4.4 billion.)

As Ansle J. Coale of Princeton observed, “The error was in understanding the pace of decline (in death rates),
and over-stating the connection with over-all modernization.” After World War II, the rich countries of the world
exported more health than wealth. Only late in the story did the export of wealth, in the form of the Green
Revolution, become as prominent as the export of health. The contrast between the recent public health evolution
and the earlier global agricultural evolution is dramatic. To simplify greatly, in and after the eighteen century, new
foods probably improved the resistance of large populations to infections, and improved resistance to infection
contributed to a gradual decline in death rates and a gradual rise in population growth. By contrast, in the twentieth
century, and especially after World War II, research laboratories and public health institutions in the modernize
countries developed ways to attack infections directly. Western Medicine introduced cheap death control:
antibiotics, the biocide DDT to control insect vectors of infection and vaccines against smallpox, measles, whooping
cough, neonatal tetanus, polio and diphtheria, as well as drugs that cured tuberculosis and malaria. Public health
measures includes safer water supplies and ways of segregating and treating human wastes. Public health
institutes and field techniques translated the new technologies into practices that affected the lives of hundreds of
millions of people. These techniques, readily transferred from rich to poor countries without the necessity of great
industrial or educational development, were absent or rare during the decline of mortality in eighteenth century
Europe.

The consequences of death control through public health technology and organizational improvement have
been dramatic in the past half century. Even countries with limited social and economic development increased
their life expectancy by ten years in a single decade. Such improvements require large decreases in death rates. In
retrospect, the demographic transition correctly described the change from high to low in the rates of death and
birth in highly modernized societies. It correctly predicted that, in countries with high fertility and mortality at the end
of the World War II, the death rates would drop before birth rates and population size would grow. It did not predict
when the decline of fertility would begin or how fast the declines of mortality and fertility would proceed. It wrongly
assumed that falling death rates had to be preceded or accompanied by socioeconomic development.
