results of the 1981 census. In the second part, the need for and
practicality of developing a population policy to influence current
trends is examined. Consideration is given to the findings of previous
reports on the demographic situation in Wallonia and to future
population perspectives.

surveys. It examines how the size of the different generations
fluctuates; how Americans' living arrangements are changing; how the
country's population map is being redrawn; and how the status of women,
blacks, Hispanics, and ethnic groups is changing. The book reports key
findings about occupation, education, and income. A final chapter

observes a decline in the importance of labor migration to Europe and a
growth in labor migration to Arab countries.

rate of population growth is declining in all regions of the country
except Slovenia. With regard to changes in population distribution, a
trend toward semi-urban areas is noted, in addition to a decline in the
rate of growth of major urban areas. The impact of regional variations
in the unemployment rate is also considered. The rate of emigration
has remained relatively constant as the decline in labor migration has
been offset by the emigration of workers'
families.

Recent demographic trends in
Italy are examined using the results of the 1981 census. The author
notes that fertility continued to fall during the 1970s and that
migration, although reduced in quantity, remains significant. The
general pattern of internal migration continues to be from south to
north, while an increasing trend to medium-size towns and suburban
areas seems to have developed in northern and central Italy. In
southern Italy urbanization is greater, particularly in coastal regions
where tourism and new industrial plants have enhanced employment
opportunities.

the fertility rate has begun to decline during the past 20 years.
Controls placed on internal migration have succeeded in restricting the
growth of the urban population and have contributed to the sustained
