This book is concerned with the rapid and
uncontrolled rate of population growth occurring in India. It examines
the reasons for India's population explosion and its consequences for
the country's future. The main cause is identified as the lowering of
mortality rates through disease control, accompanied by a failure to
develop effective family planning programs to control
fertility.

In Eng.
"This Appendix to the Report of the Review of Welfare
Services and Policies in the ACT [Australian Capital Territory] was
planned to provide a broad range of data for a greater understanding of
the demographic and socioeconomic character of the ACT. Accordingly
the Appendix is a largely factual presentation of material rather than
an interpretation of the welfare implications....With virtually all of
its population living in Canberra, the national capital, the ACT has
appropriately been compared with Sydney, its nearest State capital,
when the data have been available, or with Australia as a whole, when
the breakdown of data has been only at the State level." Data are
primarily from the 1981 census and from Australian Bureau of Statistics
population projections.
"One of the purposes of this demographic
overview was to highlight the misleading nature of crude rates of
measurement with regard to both the incidence of demographic events
during a given year and the prevalence of certain characteristics at a
given point of time....In particular, the actual levels of fertility,
female labour force participation, divorce and exnuptial births are
lower than indicated by the crude rates, while the actual proportions
of handicapped persons, and recipients of old-age or invalid pensions
are higher than the crude measures would
suggest."

"Demographic
changes [in the Ivory Coast] during the last twenty years and their
spatial distributions are analyzed from results of recent surveys and
former studies. A high mortality level is still reported however
indicating a tendency to a marked decrease: life expectancy at birth
has gained 13 years but important disparities between rural areas and
Abidjan have persisted. An average of 7 children per woman is actually
accounted, indicating that fertility rather tends to increase than to
decrease while greatly varying according to levels of education and
residential areas."

Recent
demographic trends in the northeast region of Brazil are examined for

an exodus of population due to migration to the southeast of the

national status of the northeast region.
