A regional analysis of population dynamics in Togo is

Lome in standard format. Each chapter gives separate consideration to
population, socioeconomic, and household

Migration and nuptiality in the southwest of Burkina Faso (formerly
called Upper Volta), in the region principally inhabited by the Lobi
and Dagara ethnic groups, are analyzed. The data are from a survey
undertaken in 1976. The emphasis is on the relationships among
temporary migration, nuptiality, and fertility. The authors note that
most of this migration is international, primarily to the Ivory Coast
and Ghana. They also note that marriage remains almost universal, the
age at first marriage has increased three to four years from 1961 to
1976, the extent of polygyny has decreased, and the timing of fertility
has changed.

distribution, including internal migration, regional disparities,
urbanization, and rural demographic aging. Part 3 concentrates on
social issues, including changes in the family, the elderly, health,
and the resident foreign population. Part 4 deals with economic
issues, including the labor force, employment, unemployment, and
consumption.

The results of an investigation into the
relationships among child nutrition, child mortality, and fertility in
Nicaragua are presented. Data are from a 1977-1978 survey of 1,085
households. The analysis is performed using a consistent model
developed from the household production model of Gary S. Becker. The
focus of the study is on the identification of key variables that can
hasten simultaneously the decline of fertility and mortality and the
improvement of child nutrition in developing countries.
In the urban
sector, the woman's potential wage rate had the largest impact on
improving child nutrition and lowering fertility; educational status of
both partners was also significant. In rural areas, other family
income and female education were the significant variables positively
affecting child nutrition and reducing fertility.

"This article examines whether births,
deaths and marriages since 1840, and immigrants and emigrants since

spectral analysis is applied to the series of annual numbers per 1,000
inhabitants after removal of a long-term trend. The trend is estimated
by fitting a cubic spline function."
It is shown that "both births
and marriages show a cycle of more than 20 years. Deaths do not
exhibit a clear-cut cyclical pattern. Both immigration and emigration
show a long cycle of about 20 years and a shorter one of 5 to 8 years."
Different cycles are evident if the examination is limited to
post-World War II data. "It should be emphasized, however, that all
these cycles explain only a limited fraction of the total variation in
the series."

Nov 1986. 487-503 pp. London, England. In Eng.
"The modernization
of reproductive behaviour in the Netherlands was late and slow in
comparison to other European countries. In this paper marital
fertility...and nuptiality...between 1850 and 1960 are described and
analysed, in this way adding the Dutch case to the studies of the
European Fertility Project. In the analysis a model is used in which
economy, attitudes and infant mortality are the (clusters of)
independent variables, and either [marital fertility or nuptiality] is
the dependent one. To avoid multicollinearity the interdependencies of
the explaining factors are eliminated. An analysis is made of both the
level and the development of fertility and nuptiality."
The model is
shown to fit the data well, and the authors note the importance of the
distinction between level and development of fertility and nuptiality.
"If analyzed statistically the variance in [nuptiality and marital
fertility] between the provinces can for the most part be explained by
the attitudinal factor, while when analyzing the changes in nuptiality
and marital fertility the economic factor has the strongest explanatory
power."

from the United Nations Population Division. There are great
differences among the countries....There are nonetheless important
areas of commonality: all nations are facing the problem of raising
levels of schooling in line with parents' aspirations and economic
needs, all face problems of caring for a rising proportion of aged, and
all have difficulties with the monitoring and control of international
migration. Also, since minority groups in many countries are majority
polities in neighbouring states, there is potential for establishing
international dialogues aimed at relieving internal tensions."
Consideration is given to the role of Australia in promoting
international cooperation to deal with these
issues.

This is an
overview of the current demographic situation in the island countries
of the Southern Pacific. Trends in fertility, mortality, and migration
are outlined, and available data sources are discussed. Widely varying
population growth rates in the region are noted. "Fertility rates are
high in Melanesia and Micronesia, while a fertility decline has taken
place in Polynesia. Yet, for a number of countries, low population
growth rates are more the result of high out-migration than of
fertility control. Furthermore, while all Pacific island countries
have entered the mortality transition, mortality trends vary.
Emigration is identified as one of the main ways for reducing the
pressure on the resources of Polynesian and Micronesian
islands."

The authors
analyze demographic trends in the Union Territory of Goa, Daman, and

marriage, fertility, mortality, migration, and literacy. Comparisons
are made with trends in Portugal and in Kerala State, India. Data are
from censuses, vital registration systems, and U.N. sources.
The
territory of Goa, Daman, and Diu is characterized by slow population
growth during the period studied, with a growth spurt attributable not
to natural increase but to in-migration. Fertility and mortality
levels are comparable to those of developed countries. Nuptiality
patterns reflect a high singulate mean age at marriage and a high
proportion of women remaining single. Evidence is presented of rapid
improvements in literacy levels since 1961.

sub-Saharan Africa. African Demography Working Paper, No. 14, Dec
1986. 34 pp. University of Pennsylvania, Population Studies Center:
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In Eng.
"This paper focuses on the
utilization of available data secured through population censuses and
demographic surveys particularly the World Fertility Survey to
ascertain trends in fertility and mortality [in sub-Saharan
Africa]."
The results suggest that "fertility has increased in some
countries--Kenya and Cameroon; has remained almost stable in Benin,
Ivory Coast and Lesotho; and has slightly declined in Ghana. The
underlying factors with regard to the apparent increase hinge on the
improvement in the socio-economic indicators i.e. education and health
services; relaxation of traditional controls i.e. breastfeeding and
post-partum abstinence; and a reduction in the level of
sterility."
With regard to mortality, "the estimates posit a decline
in both infant and child mortality in Kenya, Benin and Ivory Coast;
infant mortality in Cameroon; and child mortality in North Sudan and
Senegal. Overall mortality levels are high in Western and Central
Africa and low in Eastern and Southern Africa."

Utrecht, Netherlands. In Eng.
The demographic revolution that has
occurred in the Netherlands since 1965 is analyzed using data from
official sources. The main feature of this revolution is identified as
a change from continued rapid growth to expectations of a decline in
population after the year 2005. Consideration is given to changes in
marriage and household formation, fertility, mortality, and
migration.
