A review of demographic trends in the Guatemalan region of Rabinal from the seventeenth to the nineteenth century is presented. The author notes that during this period the population recovered from its post-conquest decline and grew in size, primarily due to the growth of a new mixed-race population.

"A reconsideration of the population statistics collected in Egypt and Algeria during the past hundred years produces some evidence which suggests that the commonly held view that the demographic transition in those countries was 'imported' by reason of medical progress introduced by the colonial power is incorrect. There is evidence to suggest that mortality declined earlier and that this development coincided, in the beginning at least, with economic growth during the nineteenth century. As regards birth rates, a secular upward trend gradually gave way to a declining one. Both these are probably caused by a tendency for marriages to have become more stable."

The demographic transition in twentieth-century India is analyzed using census data. The authors first examine the extent to which 1921 and 1951 can be identified as the two critical points in the demographic transition process. Particular attention is paid to regional differences in the pace of the transition process.
The results confirm the overall validity of the two selected years as critical points in the transition although the timing of the transition was significantly different when examined from a regional perspective. They also indicate that the demographic transition model is appropriate to the Indian experience although the threshold levels at which changes occurred were different.

After reviewing previous estimates of the Japanese population in the pre-censal years from the 1860s to 1920, the author presents a reestimation for this period based on more recent studies in historical demography and on Coale and Demeny's regional model life tables. "The most important revision in the present estimation [is] that life-table death rates...for the Meiji-Taishyo era are estimated by Gompertz curves with upper and lower limits in place of the former linear curves."

Standard deviations from census data are approximately 20 percent, but standard deviations of 30 to 50 percent are not exceptional."

This study is concerned with changes in the age structure in developed countries and the dependency burden. The example used is the Netherlands. The changes in the age composition of the population from 1950 to 2030 are first described, and their implications for public expenditure are assessed. Next, the Dutch experience in population forecasting is evaluated by examining eight projections made for the year 1980 and projections of the labor force for 1980 made in 1965. The results are then summarized, and the author concludes that proposed policies to deal with the problems of demographic aging involve increases in the tax rate up to the year 2010 to avoid major increases in tax rates after 2010 due to rapid population aging.

"In ordinary demographic projection, the starting age structure of a population ceases to matter after a time, whatever changes the birth and death rates undergo within bounds. The inhomogeneous or 'weak' ergodic theorem asserts this eventual independence of starting state. Does the same independence hold true for inverse projection? This paper proves that the answer is 'yes' provided the model life-table family satisfies certain reasonable conditions, but that the answer can be 'no', if more extreme life-table families are allowed." The relevance of these findings for historical demography and the contemporary forecasting of subpopulations subject to constraints is noted.

"In the light of 1981 [Indian] Census results, an attempt has been made to study the growth, concentration and redistribution of population in Orissa. It was revealed that there is a decrease in the growth rate during 1971-81 in almost all the districts of Orissa except in Sambalpur. There is a gradual decline in the concentration and redistribution of population in Orissa from 1901 to 1981. Application of Path analysis shows that the influence of rate of growth on redistribution is very high when compared to the other variables like literacy, urbanisation, density and sex ratio."
