The Demographic Transition that has taken place in Sri Lanka over the past 130 years is described in four phases.The first phase, pre 1946, the second phase 1947-1970, the third phase, 1971-2000, and the fourth phase 2001 and beyond. The last phase has to be seen as a period of social and economic readjustment to the realities of the demographic transition. It is a period that provides opportunities to make qualitative improvements in education and health services, as well as mobilize human resources for economic development. It is also the time to prepare to meet the new challenges of population ageing. The final outcome of the demographic transition will, therefore, depend on the effectiveness of strategies adopted to meet the opportunities and challenges it offers.

The author, an anthropologist, travels to Ecuador to interview centenarians, study their environment and write about his findings. "We see that nearly all centenarians are closely involved with the land in their lives and the bulk of their food is grown in the locality." They also live at an altitude of 1700-1900 meters (about 5577-6234 feet). He suggests developing a center to enable scientists and doctors to "make a full and unbiased study, for the benefit of all mankind...Geneticists and environmentalists should work together to discover the secrets of old age--and these people of Ecuador offer us a unique opportunity. We must grasp it." --Conclusion, pages 136, 138, 141 and 142.
