While most contemporary literature on shrinkage focuses on these issues from a planning standpoint, this book uniquely applies a policy perspective when approaching the material. The book assesses the potential of demographic adaptation policies to manage depopulation, that is, policy programs aiming at managing depopulation through adaptation, rather than through growth policies intended to foster population growth. In 6 chapters, the book acts as an up-to-date resource on demographic adaptation for master and Ph.D. students, researchers, and practitioners working in local and regional development, governance, and planning. Chapter 1 gives an overview of recent demographic trends in Northern Europe and introduces the theoretical differences between growth policy and adaptation policy. Chapter 2 accounts for the policy concept and introduces a framework for how local adaptation policies could be systematically analysed. Chapter 3 suggests that the Nordic welfare states exhibit two characteristics that prove to be relevant when discussing the consequences and policy implications of demographic decline, i.e. an extremely sparse population structure and an ambitious welfare assignment that in many respects has been devolved to the local level of government. Chapter 4 suggests that whether shrinkage constitutes a problem or not depends upon the interpretations of those in power, but also upon political, economic and geographic conditions Chapter 5 seeks to understand why local level policymakers avoid developing strategies for how to handle long-term population decline. Chapter 6 summarizes the points of the previous chapters, and concludes that local governments in shrinking areas ought to develop local adaptation policies. These policies, however, also need to be subjected to critical analysis, and the chapter introduces a model for how local adaptation policy priorities could be assessed in a more structured manner. . 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Geography,$x2211-4165 606 $aUrban geography 606 $aDemography 606 $aHuman geography 606 $aEconomic geography 606 $aSocial policy 606 $aUrban Geography / Urbanism (inc. megacities, cities, towns)$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J15010 606 $aDemography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X25000 606 $aHuman Geography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X26000 606 $aEconomic Geography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J12000 606 $aSocial Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X33000 615 0$aUrban geography. 615 0$aDemography. 615 0$aHuman geography. 615 0$aEconomic geography. 615 0$aSocial policy. 615 14$aUrban Geography / Urbanism (inc. megacities, cities, towns). 615 24$aDemography. 615 24$aHuman Geography. 615 24$aEconomic Geography. 615 24$aSocial Policy. 676 $a304.61 676 $a304.60948 700 $aSyssner$b Josefina$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0922589 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910373886903321 996 $aPathways to Demographic Adaptation$92070184 997 $aUNINA
