These are the proceedings
of a conference on socio-demographic change in the United Kingdom and
its measurement, held at the University of Sussex, September 9-11,
1985. "The conference papers assembled in this volume not only discuss
theoretical and methodological problems, but also provide valuable
information about new dimensions of demographic and social change in
[the United Kingdom] in the recent past. Sources and methods of
analysis are critically evaluated, as are different kinds of
'explanation' of socio-demographic change. Particular attention is paid
to change between generations, and to structural change."

concerning population questions. The main recommendations of the
Mexico City conference are summarized.
