"Policymakers and demographers in China are

incorporate attention to the elderly into the economic and population

the one-child family policy, especially in rural areas, has been fear
about security in old age. As the one-child family becomes widely
established, it will become increasingly difficult for the only child
to support two elderly parents."

The causes and consequences
of demographic aging in Canada are analyzed, with emphasis on the
social patterns and issues involved. The nature and causes of
demographic aging are first reviewed, and the measures used in
describing it are compared. Next, the conceptual and research
approaches used to study aging are described. The Canadian experience
is then presented, and some contemporary issues, such as zero
population growth, economic issues, mobility, and women's problems are
discussed.
Policy issues in the areas of the economy, labor force,
health, quality of life, and home and education are then introduced.
The author concludes by considering possible future trends regarding
demographic aging in Canada as well as some of their implications and
the unanswered questions they pose.

This study is

by cohort succession and mortality in the process for the Netherlands
during the period 1950 to 1980. While the size of the 65+ population
has increased among both males and females, increases in the size of
entering cohorts explain all of the growth in the older male
population. Reductions in mortality at the older old ages play a much
greater role than do reductions at younger old ages and...these
reductions occur only among females."

The authors examine the impact of passive exposure to smoking
on age at menopause using a study of 261 U.S. women aged 35 and over.
"Data were analysed with the Kaplan-Meier procedure and conditional
logistic regression by methods analogous to life table analysis of
survival data in a clinical trial or cohort study....The Kaplan-Meier
estimate of mean age at natural menopause was 49.7 years for smokers
and 50.8 years for non-smokers. The mean ages in non-smokers whose
spouses also did not smoke and non-smokers whose spouses smoked were
51.9 and 49.8 years respectively...."
According to the authors, "the
findings thus suggest that there is an effect from passive smoking but
do not justify the conclusion that effects of active and passive
exposure are equivalent."

"The economic well-being of widows is a
growing public concern. Though widowhood undoubtedly precipitates
major changes in economic well-being, we show that its role in
increasing poverty, especially in the short term, may be seriously
overstated by traditional data-collection methods. Using longitudinal
[U.S.] data that allow us to follow women as wives and widows, we find
that the income of husbands is systematically excluded from the income
reported by women widowed during or after the income reference year.
This exclusion not only exaggerates the rise in poverty immediately
following widowhood but also overstates the percentage of widows who
leave poverty in the next reporting period."

technique and a technique based on homogeneous enumeration
districts--which are then used to produce corrected population
estimates by religion for local government districts for 1981. These
figures are compared with similar estimates for 1971 to infer the broad

The
authors critically assess the results of a 1985 study by Judith Blake,
which was concerned with the effects of father's schooling on son's
schooling, given various sibship sizes. The authors argue that "the
effects of father's schooling and sibship size are mainly additive and
invariant over cohorts. Apparent interactions between father's
schooling and sibship size result from differences in mean educational
attainment among sibship size groups rather than from any important
differences in the association between father's and son's
schooling."
They further assert that "the censored regression
(Tobit) model, which takes account of ceiling and floor effects on
educational attainment, is a useful tool for investigating the effects
of socioeconomic background on grades of school completed within the
elementary, secondary, and post-secondary parts of the educational
career." The geographic focus is on the United States.

enrollment are assessed by caste.
It is found that the "educational
levels of backward social groups are not improving in rural Bihar. The
enrolment levels were 34.0 percent, 17.5 percent, 10 percent and 4.3
percent for High Caste Hindus, Other Hindus, Muslims, and Scheduled
Caste Hindus respectively. Females in rural Bihar are married at lower
ages than those in West Bengal. [The] majority of the vasectomy
acceptors were illiterate and Muslims were the lowest acceptors of
sterilization. Only 6.1 percent of the couples are found to be

size does increase social heterogeneity, but, consistent with

pales in comparison to recent shifts in racial composition in northern
central cities and suburbs."
The authors also find "little evidence
of widely fluctuating differences between nonmetropolitan counties in
changes in racial composition. Finally, racial change in the
nonmetropolitan South, unlike that in northern cities, has occurred
largely in the context of overall growth rather than population
decline."

Langue Francaise: Quebec City, Canada. In Fre.
The consequences of
current and future demographic trends in the Canadian province of
Quebec for the future of the French language in North America are
examined. The linguistic aspects of current demographic trends in the
province are first summarized. The implications for language trends of
the major demographic variables, mortality, fertility, immigration, and
interprovincial migration, are then considered separately. The
phenomenon of linguistic mobility and knowledge of French are also
considered. Finally, future population projections by linguistic group
are given, and the policy options available to affect linguistic trends
are reviewed.

"The purpose of this paper is to analyse simultaneously, according
to what is known as the multiregional approach, the interactions
between fertility, migration and mortality, for each of the main
linguistic groups of Quebec [Canada]. Results show that, on the basis
of the demographic regime observed between 1976 and 1981, while
migration probably has reduced regional disparities in fertility and
mortality behavior, it also has markedly amplified the demographic
impact of linguistic disparities in this
behavior."

Montreal, Canada. In Fre. with sum. in Eng; Spa.
Mortality and
fertility differences in the Canadian province of Quebec for 1976 and
1981 are analyzed using data from official Canadian and Quebec sources,
supplemented by other sources for 1976. Separate consideration is
given to the French-speaking, the English-speaking, and those speaking
other languages as their first language. The results show that life
expectancies are lowest for the French-speaking, while their fertility
is lower than that of groups speaking neither French nor English and
higher than that of the English-speaking
population.

A review of changes in the
foreign population resident in France during the course of the
twentieth century is presented. Attention is focused on the
characteristics of the foreign population between 1975 and 1982,
including legal status, place of birth, age distribution, country of
origin, labor force participation, and fertility. Possible future
trends are briefly examined.

"This paper briefly presents the results of
surveys made in 1983 and 1984 within the Greek and Portuguese
communities of Montreal [Canada], in order to investigate the reaction
of these two groups with respect to policy measures directing their
children towards the French school system. Results show that, among
Greeks, legislation did not markedly affect the privileged place of
English, while among Portuguese, who previously were already much more
French-oriented, the main impact of these policy measures seems to have
been a decline in the knowledge of English among the
young."
