aspects of Chinese demography during the period 1978-1984. An
introduction by the editor provides an overview of developments in
demography, population growth, and population policy in China since
1949. The next paper, by Feng Shixin, deals with problems involved in
the development of demographic theory in China. The next section
contains a selection of data from the censuses of 1953, 1964, and
1982.
A section of papers on fertility and the national family
planning program is then presented, one of which also deals with age at
marriage. Two papers are included on the demography of the urban
population. A final chapter presents two papers on the minority
nationalities.

"The present book sets out to describe the current
demographic situation in Asia and prospects for the future. It does so
both by providing broad 'landscape' pictures of the region as a whole
and by focusing on particular regions, even individual villages, to
give an intimate view of how the broad demographic trends are
experienced at the micro level." There are nine chapters by various
authors.
"The first chapter provides an overview of the demographic
transition as a whole with particular emphasis on the prospects for
fertility decline. The second deals with mortality trends and the
prospects for further mortality decline, and the third with population
mobility." Two chapters are devoted to India and one each to
Bangladesh, Indonesia, China, and Viet Nam.

Data from the 1982 census of

preceded by a century of population decline. However, there are
significant regional differences, with population increasing in the
Alps and Jura regions but still declining in other mountainous regions.
"This evolution varies according to the types of districts and reveals
a high population increase in the rural districts under urban
influence, stagnation in the district boroughs and remote rural

Thomas W. Population pressures in Latin America.
Population Bulletin, Vol. 41, No. 3, Jul 1986. 51 pp. Population
Reference Bureau: Washington, D.C. In Eng.
Population trends in
Latin America for the period 1950-1985 are reviewed. "The post-World
War II population surge was accompanied by massive rural-urban and
international migration, rapid urbanization, large labor shifts out of
agriculture into industry and services, increased education for both
men and women, and higher female labor force participation. The rural
exodus was spurred by extreme land-tenure inequalities and the urban
bias of postwar industrialization." The problems of urbanization are
exacerbated by the concentration of population in a few large cities
and the economic problems of the 1980s.
"Some Latin Americans have
argued that income and political inequality rather than rapid
population growth hinders the region's economic development, but a new
view sees both as obstacles. Nineteen countries now support family
planning programs to reduce population growth or for other reasons.
Recent fertility declines seem to be the result of both increased
access to family planning and the economic and social pressures posed
by the gap between young adults' aspirations and their ability to
realize them."

"This paper examines demographic and socio-economic forces in high
isolated parts of the world. These regions were not always isolated;
they were once the centres of their own particular worlds which, in
some cases, were complex civilizations. It is their relegation to the
very periphery of the modern world that is the principal theme of this
paper. Population migration, both into and out of these areas, has
played a vital role in linking mountainous regions to the wider world.
Particular attention is paid to the part played by the traditional
mobility patterns and by the resource base of the mountains in the
transformation of integral, self-sufficient cultures into dependent
subservient part-cultures: the regions of refuge."
The mountainous
regions considered include the Andes of Peru, the Alps, the highlands
of Papua New Guinea, and the Himalayas.

fertility of the different social groups, a relatively high [level of]
