This book is divided into three parts. In the first part, the
population situation and policy discussions at the time of the 1974
World Population Conference are reviewed, with emphasis on discussions
concerning the interrelationships between population growth and
development. The proceedings of the conference are then summarized,
the World Population Plan of Action is outlined, and current population
trends and policy discussions are assessed.
In the second part,
demographic policy measures adopted in developing countries are
evaluated. The focus is on fertility policies, and examples are
provided from Singapore, Haiti, Cuba, Bangladesh, and India. The
population policy views of the government of the Federal Republic of
Germany are also briefly examined. In the final part, strategies for
international and bilateral assistance in the area of population are
discussed, and the results of the 1984 International Conference on
Population are summarized.

The contribution of
demographers to the development of population policy in Canada is
considered. "The evidence from literature on Canadian population
studies suggests that members of the Canadian Population Society have
not paid much attention to policy issues and have not been very
involved in policy circles. This paper considers specific substantive
areas--including population growth, fertility, immigration, migration,
urban growth, aging, language and education--in order to review briefly
the available policy-oriented research and to suggest issues that merit
further discussion."

These are the proceedings of a symposium on population policies
from the Catholic viewpoint held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in
September 1982. The papers are in five main sections. The first
recapitulates Catholic teaching on population issues. The second
contains 10 papers that review population policies around the world.
The third consists of three papers on methodological issues concerning
the low birthrate in developed countries, demographic policies for the
family, and the different ways population policies can
intervene.
The next section includes four papers on the relationship
between population policies and development. A final section, entitled
"responsibilities", contains nine papers on a wide range of topics,
including the responsibilities of developed countries toward the third
world, the Marxist experience, socio-medical problems in developing
countries, and the options available to Catholic countries with regard
to population policies.

After briefly reviewing population trends and
previous population policies in Malaysia, the author discusses the
reasons for the new population policy, which "calls for a larger
population of 70 million people in Malaysia to be attained in 115
years...." Strategies to ensure that the target is achieved and to
incorporate long-term economic planning with population growth are
described, and related development problems are
discussed.

"In this contribution
the concept of population policy theory is defined. Also, the
relevance of studying these theories in order to assess the demographic
impact of population policy is discussed. The policy theory underlying
the pronatalist marriage and family founding loans is evaluated as is
the policy theory underlying antinatalist family planning communication
programs. It is concluded that the behavioral mechanisms behind the
two policy measures appear not to work in a way the policy theory
assumes they work, i.e. appear not to be able to change fertility
behavior substantially." The geographic focus is
worldwide.

An attempt is made to outline the strengths

governments seeking to influence the urbanization process. The key
concepts involved are introduced, including the core/periphery
paradigm, polarization reversal, growth poles and related concepts,
selective spatial closure, and agropolitan development.
The various
policy options reviewed include policies against primacy, the promotion
of secondary cities, rural development approaches, integration of the
national settlement hierarchy, and partial strategies. The policy
instruments needed to implement such strategies are described, and
their financial, informational, and institutional requirements are
considered.

the changes discussed are the greater prominence given in the
recommendations to socio-economic development, the environment and
population, and the role and status of women and population. In
addition, the 1984 recommendations deal with morbidity and mortality in
a far more detailed and systematic manner and discuss the right of
individuals and couples to decide freely and responsibly the number and
spacing of their children with greater strength and urgency.
Furthermore, they are more specific regarding migration and changing
population structures."

Plan of Action in Algeria. LC 85-135544. 1984. 156 pp. Institut
Universitaire de Hautes Etudes Internationales: Geneva, Switzerland. In
Eng.
The influence of the concepts implied by the New International
Economic Order (NIEO) on the development of the World Population Plan
of Action is analyzed, with particular reference to the development of
the notions that population control is inappropriate and that
successful development will solve population problems. The author also
explores how these concepts have been modified by the concerns felt
among many developing countries with regard to rapid population
growth.
The case study of Algeria is given to illustrate the
implications of such a policy debate. The author notes how the initial
neglect of population issues in the pursuit of an NIEO-oriented
development strategy aggravated population problems and resulted in a
change of policy which in part denies the validity of the NIEO
strategy.

Studies, Vol. 11, No. 3, Sep 1983. 1-38 pp. Dhaka, Bangladesh. In Eng.
The authors attempt "to review government development policy [in
Bangladesh] and, as far as possible, indicate which development
measures other than the provision of family planning information and
services hold the promise, either currently or potentially, of
significantly altering the demand for contraceptives." The literature
concerning fertility determinants is reviewed, with particular
attention to the case of Bangladesh.
It is concluded that "a
necessary condition for fertility transition in Bangladesh is to
eliminate or substantially reduce the positive reproductive incentive
associated with children as insurance against risk. This conclusion
informed our assessment of the fertility impacts of development policy:
policies with the greatest potential impact on reproductive behavior
would either significantly alter the environment of risk or introduce
effective alternative means of adjusting to risk." Rural public
employment programs are highlighted as having substantial fertility
impact.

France. In Fre. with sum. in Eng; Spa.
The author attempts to
measure the effect on the birth rate of financial assistance to
families in Europe. "A study of the financial aid given to children of
different birth orders led to the construction of an index which may be
used to group the family policies of 28 countries by the extent of
their pro-natalism (Francophone and Central European countries came
highest in this classification). A relationship was established
between the introduction of these policies and fertility indices during
the 1970s."
The index is used to construct a model for selected
countries of the European Economic Community. "The econometric model
which relates fertility to women's earnings and labour force
participation is substantially improved if an index of 'natalist'
family policy is taken into account. Where the proportion of
children's costs met by the state is similar to that in France, the
mean number of children per woman increases by about 0.2, or ten
percent of fertility. Full reimbursement of children's cost would
raise the mean number of children per woman by about
0.5."

Recent
developments concerning the population program in Pakistan are
reviewed. The author notes that despite growing government concern
about the rate of population growth, there is little evidence that an
effective program to reduce that rate of growth is being developed.
The cause of this failure is sought in the contrast between the need to
involve women in developing a successful program and the government's
social policy which opposes female emancipation and encourages female
segregation and traditional female roles within the
family.

"Singapore, after
serving for two decades as a model for Third World birth control and
economic development programs, is now abandoning its earlier population
policies in favor of encouraging dramatic population growth. The
initial eugenics-based program introduced in 1984 sought increased
fertility for university-educated women and provided major subsidies
for the voluntary sterilization of poor and uneducated parents. These
much publicized and internationally discussed programs have now been
abandoned in favor of new population programs seeking to encourage
fertility in lower as well as better educated groups. A forty percent
population increase is being set as a goal."

This thesis,
which consists of two volumes, "examines the implementation of China's
'one-child-per-couple' population policy against the backdrop of a
tandem process of rural economic and structural reforms." The focus is
on "the implementation of population policy in light of three central
themes: (1) evolutionary implementation, (2) policy interdependence,
and (3) local-level implementation and discretionary authority. The
data are drawn from interviews with rural cadres in one Chinese commune
and family planning cadres from the provincial to the village levels,
and a wide range of Chinese source materials."
Particular attention
is given to efforts to implement population policies in rural China,
the difficulties encountered, and the adaptations in policy and
enforcement that have ensued.
