Malcolm. Recent population changes in perspective.
Population Trends, No. 44, Summer 1986. 33-41 pp. London, England. In
Eng.
Recent population changes in England and Wales are summarized,
with particular emphasis on comparisons between population growth rates
in metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas. Trends observed during the
period 1981-1985 are contrasted with developments that took place in
the preceding two decades. The roles of natural change and net
migration in determining population change are also considered.
It
is noted that "the trends of the 1960s and 1970s have continued but at
a substantially reduced rate. For instance, the population of the
metropolitan areas of England declined by 3 persons per thousand
population per annum throughout the 1981-85 period compared with a rate
over twice that figure during the late 1970s. Similarly the population
of the non-metropolitan areas only increased by 2 per thousand per
annum during the 1981-85 period compared with a figure of close to 7
per thousand in the late 1970s."

"This study is an attempt to measure the meaning of the
inter-regional movements of population in Algeria during a long period
of time (1897-1977). As in the whole of the Mediterranean countries,
these movements have resulted in rebalancing the differences in density
between mountains and plains. Nevertheless, as a result of demographic
growth, the population in the mountains is much denser than it was in
1897. And the populations moving from the mountains have not settled
equally in the different types of plains: coastal plains, and amongst
them chiefly Algiers, received most of it."

demographic changes induced by massive interregional migration and
urbanization are then analyzed for the period 1960-1980 using census
data. "During this period the Korean cities showed a concentration of
young population due to in-migration from rural areas....Rural areas in
general [except for those surrounding Seoul and Pusan] are more and
more characterized by population losses and aging due to selective
out-migration."

The spatial distribution of the population of China
is described using data from the 1982 census. The results show that 20
percent of the population live in urban areas and 80 percent in rural
areas; coastal areas support a slightly higher percentage of people
than the hinterland and have a higher density of population; and
urbanization has been fairly slow in part because of slow economic
development but also because of tight control over movement into urban
areas. Although the development of cities with over 500,000 people is
rapid, the number of small cities is declining. The need to encourage
the growth of small and middle-size cities is
noted.

Ecology: Madison, Wisconsin. In Eng.
The authors explore aspects of
population growth in nonmetropolitan areas in the United States before,
during, and after the 1970s, a decade in which growth in these areas
exceeded urban population growth. The particular focus is on "whether
the post-1980 period is one in which population distribution patterns
and factors associated with population growth have reverted to being
very similar to that in the pre-turnaround era....We have associated
selected variables with county population change for each of three
periods--1960-70, 1970-80, and 1980-84 in a multivariate analysis [and]
have examined growth trends in these time intervals for nonmetropolitan
geographic subregions."
Official data for nonmetropolitan counties
and county equivalents are used in a multiple classification analysis,
with variables included for location, manufacturing, median income, and
recreation and resort activities. Ways in which nonmetropolitan growth
patterns since 1980 differ from those observed before 1970 are noted.
It is concluded that "the recent turnaround reversal is not a return to
the status quo of the 1960s within the nonmetropolitan
sector."

"The purposes of
the present paper are to show the relationship between measures of
population diversity and measures of segregation, to describe the
salient properties of these indexes, and to demonstrate the empirical
interrelationships among them." Some measures not frequently used in
population studies are considered, and empirical illustrations are
given of the significance of using one measure rather than another. In
particular, the author stresses proportional reduction of error
interpretations for an index and considers its ability to handle more
than two groups. The primary geographic focus is on the United
States.
The "introductory section of the paper treats conceptual
issues in more detail. The second section reviews selected measures
and recent critical viewpoints, while the third section tests their
empirical performance. The conclusion makes some recommendations about
the selection of an index. A detailed bibliography

Anticipating accelerated rates of
urbanization in developing countries in Asia, the author emphasizes the
need for a disaggregated sectoral approach to analyzing food policy.
It is noted that food policies in the past have focused on issues of
aggregate supply.
"With urbanization accompanying economic
development, the composition effect in food demand becomes more
significant than the scale effect as consumers continuously switch to
foodstuffs of better quality and more variety....A good part of the
food problem, however, may have to do with the changing composition of
requirements resulting not only from increasing incomes but also from
the locational shifts of households....Furthermore, with urbanization
there is the phenomenon of entitlement shifts as households move away
from both direct and exchange entitlements to food in rural areas to
only exchange entitlement in cities."

The authors "present selected results concerning ecological
structure based on work for the 1980 [U.S.] Census monograph on
neighborhoods. We first examine the factorial ecology approach. We
then turn to patterns of segregation and analyze the implications of
index choice. We also offer a short summary of our analysis of census
data quality for small areas."

The impact of modernization on population
dynamics in China is examined. The author notes that the
industrialization process involves the concentration of the population
in urban areas and the mechanization of agriculture. The need to
redistribute the urban population from major urban areas to smaller
towns is noted.

The relationship
between urbanization and social development in Indonesia, Malaysia, the
Philippines, and Thailand is examined. A review of Soviet studies on
urbanization in developing countries is first presented, together with
a critique of non-Soviet studies. Next, the process of urban growth
from the 1950s to the 1980s is described, and the relative
contributions of migration and natural increase are assessed. The
impact of migration on social development is then considered, with a
distinction made between seasonal migration by the very poor and
permanent migration by those of a higher socioeconomic status. The
development of a new urban social structure in these countries is
noted.
