An attempt is made to describe demographic trends in Palestine from 1850 to 1882 using data from Ottoman sources. The focus is on the quality of the available data. The author concludes that the period was one of economic, social, and political transformation, accompanied by a period of accelerated population growth. The population in 1882 was around 470,000, an increase of approximately one-third over the period studied.

The author examines evidence concerning population growth in the Middle East in the nineteenth century. The concern is primarily with the relationship between the prevalent economic system, in this instance, irrigation-dependent agriculture, and population. Several studies pertaining to territories that were included in the Ottoman Empire in the nineteenth century are reviewed.
The author concludes with "the suggestion that in the context of Middle Eastern agriculture a hypothesis of population growth can be accepted only if it is supported by hard evidence pertaining to agricultural development. The interaction between population and agricultural development is particularly reinforced by the fact that the non-farm sector of the Middle Eastern economies experienced considerable decline during the nineteenth century."
Furthermore, "if the agricultural sector was as backward as it appeared to have been, it is unlikely that population could have increased to the extent that it has been claimed. In the absence of reliable data on population and agricultural production, one may not be able to be precise and conclusive about the actual demographic trends in the Middle East, nevertheless, in view of the available evidence--some of which is produced in this paper--the presence of powerful checks on population growth may be regarded as certain."

An attempt is made to estimate the population of the Republic of Turkey in 1923, the year in which it was founded. The estimate is made using reverse population projection and data from the 1935 census. Consideration is also given to the quality of the data in the 1927 census, the demographic impact of the wars preceding independence, and the effect of Turkey's special demographic conditions on subsequent socioeconomic development, including agricultural development and the participation of females in the labor force.

"Drawing primarily on data from the 1973 Census, this paper describes recent trends in Burma's population, including population growth and distribution, the age structure and ratio of males to females, marriage practices and trends, composition of ethnic groups, literacy and educational attainment, labor force characteristics, and recent fertility and mortality. For contextual background, it also describes historical, geographic, and recent political conditions. Preliminary data from the 1983 Census are included where appropriate."
Explanations for recent growth trends are presented, and anticipated future developments are outlined. It is also noted that "the large-scale emigration of foreign residents (mainly Indians and Chinese) in recent years has caused the population to become preponderantly indigenous but has also created a shortage of professional and administrative personnel and has not solved the problem of interethnic tensions."

In: American Statistical Association, 1983 proceedings of the Social Statistics Section. [1983]. 512-7 pp. American Statistical Association: Washington, D.C. In Eng.
The authors describe two sets of post-censal population estimates that are published yearly by the government of Canada. The estimates are for census divisions and census metropolitan areas and appear 3 to 4 months and 12 to 15 months following the reference date.
"The regression technique uses family allowance recipients as the main symptomatic indicator and where available, additional indicators...to derive population change for the current year. The first set is obtained by adding this change to the second set for the previous year produced by the component method, with births and deaths from vital registers, and estimated migration from Revenue Canada taxation files. The two sets were found to be statistically similar, though the first set is more timely, and the second providing more details on the components of population change."

"The aims of this paper are to describe the demographic outcome of the early patterns of growth of...[Canberra, Australia], and to illustrate the way in which refinements in the measurement of demographic events can provide a more accurate picture of the true situation than occurs from crude measures. Much of the discussion is based on a comparison of the demographic situation in the ACT [Australian Capital Territory] with that in the nearest State capital city, Sydney, or with total Australia." Information is included on age structure, mobility, socioeconomic status, fertility, divorce, female labor force participation, and child care.
"The ACT population has always been considered to be different from that of the other capital cities and from the overall population of Australia, and in many respects this is true. At the same time, however, recent data suggest that the ACT population profile is now converging towards the Australian experience."

An economical method for estimating the urban population of the Republic of Korea is developed. "The model presented here uses census data and measures of the urban built-up area obtained from Landsat images to estimate population using regression analysis. It is concluded that with this model, the population estimates of major South Korean cities are very reliable and that it is also possible to estimate the populations of North Korean cities. Besides estimating the population of Korean cities, this method can be adapted to any area in the world where physical and political barriers prohibit population counts."

"This publication contains new population projections [for Norway] by sex, age and regions. For the whole country data are given up to the year 2050, while data for counties and municipalities are given up to the year 2010."
Three alternative estimates concerning fertility trends are used, but only one for international migration. "For internal migration, three different migration alternatives have this time been produced. In addition to three alternatives including migration, one alternative without any migration has been included. For deaths, the assumptions are the same for all the alternatives, a steady reduction in mortality towards the year 2000." A new table on percent population growth by municipality classification is included.

"In this article we use a range of indirect methods to construct a demographic profile of Sabah and Sarawak over the past 20 years. Comparisons are made between these areas and Peninsular Malaysia and some overall estimates for Malaysia are given. Considerable attention is given to evaluating the quality of the available data."
It is found that "between 1965 and 1980 there were large gains in life expectancy among the indigenous communities in Sabah and Sarawak, although their life expectancies are still shorter than those of the Chinese. Differentials in life chances between these regions and Peninsular Malaysia narrowed appreciably during the 1970s. Over the same period there were falls in levels of fertility. These were most spectacular among the Chinese communities and the groups living in and around the urban areas in Sarawak. There has been some decline in fertility among the indigenous groups in Sabah but current levels remain higher than among the indigenous groups in Sarawak and the Malays in the Peninsula."

"The primary purpose of this paper is to assess very broadly the regional growth and redistribution of the total, urban and rural populations of the USSR, as well as aggregate, regional and city size patterns of urbanization for the 1979-84 period. In order to investigate the continuity or reversal of trends, comparisons with preceding intercensal periods will also be undertaken, particularly with the 1970-79 period."
It is found that "regional rates of population change between 1979 and 1984 were generally lower than those of 1970-79, primarily due to a general decline in natural increase rates. In addition, regional variations in rates of population change for the 1979-84 period were similar to those of the 1970-79 period....The USSR has apparently reversed its long-term trend of deconcentration in the sense that the population as a whole is becoming more concentrated again, but this time in a new area of concentration, Central Asia, which is now the most populous economic region."
