The consensus achieved at the
International Conference on Population, held in Mexico in 1984, is

result in effective development and population
policies.

In this article, the authors critically examine
China's one-child policy, assessing the social and economic costs of
the policy and analyzing alternatives. "Accepting as given the Chinese
government's goal of stabilizing the population at 1.2 billion by the
year 2000, the paper first reviews the likely potential demographic and
socioeconomic effects of current and past policies. It then explores
policy alternatives, mostly variants of a stop-at-two rule, and their
benefits compared with the current one-child policy."
The authors
conclude that "a two-child policy, if accompanied by delayed
childbearing, can be as effective as a one-child policy in achieving
China's current demographic goals. Furthermore, the policy...would be
easier to implement and would have fewer detrimental consequences for
the society and economy."

Recent demographic
trends in Switzerland are reviewed, and their implications for policy
development are considered. The author notes that while the country
does not have an overall policy on either the family or population,
elements of such policies do exist in practice. The legitimacy of
state action in such matters is considered, the demographic variables
open to influence are identified, and possible measures are introduced.
The focus is on measures to counteract falling
fertility.

Eng.
An evaluation of family policy in the Netherlands and its
impact on fertility intentions is presented. The data are from a
national sample survey conducted in 1983. Consideration is given to
both direct and indirect costs of having children. The author
concludes that "effective government policy should...consist of a
combination of measures, with emphasis on measures such as leave and
child care arrangements for young couples, and financial arrangements
for people with two or more children." The results indicate that
policies favorable to children will not lead to significant changes in
fertility intentions.

quotas on the average quality of migrating labor and income
distribution. Southern Economic Journal, Vol. 52, No. 3, Jan 1986.
785-93 pp. Chapel Hill, North Carolina. In Eng.
In this paper, the
authors develop "a simple two-country, single-period model to study the
effect of quota restrictions on the composition of migrating labor.
[They] have divided the migrant population in two general categories
called high skilled and low skilled and have shown that free migration
of any category of labor occurs if and only if the country's share of
world resources is different from its share of the world labor
endowment in that category."
Two possible outcomes, given differing
labor endowments and income differentials, are considered. The
potential effect of illegal immigration is also noted. The authors
conclude that their model "is applicable not only to 'brain drain'
problems, but also to guest worker programs and/or the mass migration
of low skilled workers from poor countries to rich
countries."

Using examples from
selected Arab countries of Western Asia and from Egypt, the author
considers several aspects of international migration from a legal or
constitutional point of view. The focus is on current and potential
problems related to international migration. Among the topics
discussed are the right of Arabs to leave their native country; the
right of a migrant to be provided with accurate information on such
subjects as emigration or immigration laws or conditions of work; and
regulations concerning Arab entry into, residence within, and departure
from countries other than their own.

In this study of international conventions concerning the
migration of persons from one state to another, fundamental human
rights standards are first discussed. Some examples of formal
agreements between states concerning migrant rights are then reviewed.
In separate sections the standards of the International Labour Office
and the special case of the European Economic Community are considered.
In conclusion, the author suggests that a regional convention
governing migration and migrant workers in Western Asia might be
desirable.

Immigration and naturalization laws and their political and
administrative contexts are examined separately and in considerable
detail for the United States, Canada, and Australia. The study
primarily concerns the period from World War II to the present. The
author suggests that consideration of the different immigration
problems and policies of these three receiving countries may be useful
to other countries receiving immigrants.

This is a description of the content and

The authors note that this scheme has become a keystone of central and
regional planning and was extensively revised in 1983. The focus of
the revised scheme is on encouraging migration away from the major
urban centers.
