This report was prepared during the course of work of an
expert committee set up at the recommendation of the Council of
Europe's Steering Committee on Population to examine the changing age
distribution of the population of member countries and the associated
policy implications. Consideration is also given to the impact of
these changes on fertility. Among the consequences of change that are
considered are the impact on the provision of balanced educational
resources, the effect on the labor force, and the growing number of the
aged and very old.

"The suburban
population in the United States has aged more rapidly than the
population as a whole. This paper examines the suburbanization of the
elderly during 1960- 1980 for a national sample of metropolitan
regions. The increasing proportion of residents age 65 and over has
been accompanied by declining segregation of the elderly among suburbs
in most metropolitan regions. During this period suburbs with older
populations were relatively poor but had higher municipal
expenditures....Increases in proportion elderly are greater in slow-
growing inner suburbs, but are linked to lower proportions of black
residents, more trade employment, and a stronger tax
base."

separately: 1948-1965, 1966-1974, and the period since 1975. The focus
of the study is on the effect of urban residence on the components of
natural increase, namely, marriages, births, and deaths. The results
of correlation analysis of data from small administrative areas show
clear differences in demographic indicators among areas at different

was generated from the information compiled in preparation for the 1982
World Assembly on Aging and is based on U.N. data, reports prepared for
the associated regional and technical meetings, and country statements.
The report focuses on three main areas: "(a) demographic concepts,
(b) the implications of trends in the aging of populations for
socio-economic development ('developmental issues') and (c) the
implications of aging trends for meeting the individual needs of older
persons ('humanitarian issues')."
The first part of the report is
concerned with the global situation. The second presents a series of
regional analyses dealing with the same three subject areas. In the
third part, tasks for the future, including policy issues, data
collection, and research needs, are considered.

decreasing levels of parental education. "Mean menarcheal age for an
occupational group is strongly dependent upon the group's
socio-economic status, the latter being defined in terms of parental
education, family income, family size, and dwelling

analysis, both contributions and shortcomings, are examined through the

ratios in childhood in nineteenth-century America were skewed, with a
relative excess of males in agricultural and frontier areas, and the
reverse in urban and industrial areas. The pattern is consistent at
the state, county, and (where data are available) community and
household levels. The most likely contributing causes are sex-specific
migration of families according to the mix of their children, migration
of children themselves, and mortality patterns arising from
differential childcare based on the sex-specific economic value of
children to the household in agricultural versus urban

during the 1970s, as measured by the [U.S.] Census and the Current
Population Survey, is complicated by the recent reclassification of
occupations. Once this is taken into account, it is apparent from both
the Census and the CPS that there was a decline in occupational sex
segregation in the 1970s and that the decline was probably more
substantial than in the 1960s."

The results of a study on national
minorities in Baranya county, Hungary, are presented. The data, which
were collected in conjunction with national censuses, cover the period
1930-1980 and primarily concern the German-speaking and Southern Slav
populations. Problems of definition and of mixed nationality are
considered. The results indicate that the demographic characteristics
of the minority populations differ from those of the Hungarian
population as a whole with regard to age distribution, marital status,
educational status, economic activity, housing, and
fertility.

"Two methods of analysing language mobility are
presented. The first is based on the distinction between structural
mobility, which produces a change in the final (or home-language)
composition relative to the initial (or mother-tongue) composition, and
exchange mobility, which measures the frequency of balanced transfers
between each pair of languages....The second method is more
conventional in that it relies on the theory of stationary Markov
chains. It entails the transformation of language mobility rates into
an equilibrium composition. The latter is then compared with the
observed compositions. Except in very special cases, this method
yields less useful results than the first one, which is better suited
to the concerns underlying language mobility research."
The
geographic focus is on Quebec and Canada.

Data concerning nationality in metropolitan France are analyzed
using the results of a 1-in-4 sample from the 1982 census. In 17
tables, data are presented for the total population, the labor force,
the actively employed, and the unemployed, and are organized according
to designations such as native French, naturalized French, and
foreigners. For selected tables, data on foreigners are further broken
down by nationality.
Data are taken primarily from the study by
Pierre-Alain Audirac, also published in 1985 (see 51:30070).

This study is concerned with the
process of the continuation of unique language among native-born
generations of immigrants in the United States. The author examines
changes in language between generations in relation to linguistic and
ethnic intermarriage. "The analysis, based on 1976 Survey of Income
and Education data, shows that non-English languages disappear between
generations as patterns of social interaction widen to include intimate
associations outside of the non-English-language community, and outside
of the ethnic descent group."

Eng.
The ethnic classifications used in the 1950, 1960, 1970, and
1980 censuses of Hawaii and the racial statistics compiled by state,
county, and private agencies are examined. Tables present information
on the primary ethnic groups, educational attainment, occupational
status, and income. The problem of comparability among sources of data
is emphasized, and the resulting difficulty in accurately charting
trends is noted.
It is suggested that because of these problems "the
usefulness of such [racial] statistics for sociological or public
health research may accordingly decline to such a point that the
ambiguities and distortions resulting from these data will argue for
their total abandonment, at least in Hawaii."
