"The present research uses available data for 126 nations,
circa 1983, to examine the cross-sectional relationship between
national income and fertility. Initially, interest is in assessing the
extent of variability in this relationship among societies at different
stages of economic development. Second, this relationship is decomposed
into its direct and indirect parts through the use of a plausible
recursive model containing school enrollment and infant mortality as
sequentially intervening variables." The results show that both the
cross-sectional relationship between national income and fertility and
the impact of the two intervening variables chosen vary widely by stage
of economic development reached. The authors suggest that "the
variability in the relationships is relevant both to traditional views
of demographic transition and to alternative approaches based on the
differentiation of nations within a larger world economy, as well as to
the implementation of social programs in the context of fertility
reduction strategies."

The author studies the influence of
population factors on regional development. He focuses on the impact
of labor on regional policy and identifies three key aspects:
non-homogeneity of populations, the nature of migration, and the
quality of populations. Along with demographic dynamics, he considers
"the internal differentiation of populations by age, by ethnicity, by
sex, by attitude and education, and by any other ways which affect
their capacity to contribute differentially to regional development."
Current models and regional theory are discussed, and the need for
further study of social aspects of regional development is
emphasized.

"This paper advances
the thesis that the work of the [U.N.] Population Division demonstrates
that it is possible to do scientific research in the field of
population/development relationships which is free of ideological
influence, even when that work is guided and supervised by a highly
political parent body. A sharp contrast is made between the
documentation prepared by the Secretariat, which adheres firmly to an
objective evaluation of facts, and the discussions at conferences of
governmental representatives, which generally have an ideological
orientation." The research discussed covers socioeconomic aspects of
the aging process; interrelationships among population, resources, the
environment, and economic development; and the determinants and
consequences of population trends.

development, agrarian structure, and rural areas. The papers are
divided into three main sections. The first deals with the population
situation and its determining factors. Individual papers cover world
population projections, theories of the relationship between population
growth and economic development, the agricultural response to
population growth, and rural-urban spatial distribution. The remaining
two sections focus on population trends and rural areas in developed
and developing countries, respectively. The problems of both declining
and growing populations are examined, the socioeconomic and
agricultural impact is discussed, and case studies are presented.
Policy aspects are also considered.

"Two basic
hypotheses relating the number of children in households to the income
and expenditures of parents are tested. The first argues that as the
number of children in households increases parental income increases;
and the second, that as the number of children in households increases
parental expenditures decrease. Employing tabular and partial
correlation techniques we find support for both hypotheses." The data,
collected in 1980, are for Syria and concern 300 rural
households.

Changes in the
relationship between population factors and the development process in
Mexico from 1940 to the present are reviewed. The authors show how the
development that occurred up to about 1970 both absorbed and encouraged
rapid population growth. They then describe how the emergence of
problems concerning this relationship led to the development of a
population policy during the 1970s. "The paper then takes up the
implementation of that policy and the determinants of the fertility
decline that took place afterwards, and closes with a brief review of
the implications that demographic considerations have for Mexico's
future."

migratory characteristics of the population within the zone of
influence. A representative sample and a control group were followed
from 1979 to 1981 using a multi-round survey technique. Data from the
general population census (1976) were used to study the population's
characteristics from 1976 to 1979."
The study population is linked
to 1976 census data, and various demographic estimates for the
population are produced. An examination of migration patterns in the
area indicates that "the project had not yet succeeded in attracting
the populations living in the more distant zones two years after its

The relationship between population growth and
agricultural development in Latin America during the past two decades
is analyzed. Data are taken from various published sources. The
author concludes that, in general, the growth in food supply has kept
ahead of the growth in population, but certain areas have experienced a
decline in levels of nutrition. Although cereal production has grown
considerably, the production of other foods has suffered from
competition from export crops.

This study is
concerned with the relationship between population growth and
technological change in the course of economic development. The author
critically reviews the work of Malthus, Marx, and Boserup in the
context of the current situation in which developing countries must
cope with rapid population growth and the influx of technological
change from the developed world. The experience of England during the
industrial revolution and demographic transition is first discussed.
The author then compares developments in other capitalist countries
that imported technological change from England with the experience of
Soviet Russia. Consideration is also given to the views of Ghandi and
Mao on these relationships.
The author concludes that effective
technological change occurs only when it evolves from traditional
technology, and that this is a process that is "determined by
population growth and level of social
consciousness."

The authors use a
cross-sectional analysis of the rural population of various states of
India to examine differential demographic behavior. The data are from
the 1981 census and other published sources. The demographic variables
considered are crude birth rate (CBR), crude death rate (CDR), infant
mortality rate (IMR), mean age at marriage, and total fertility rate.
Among the socioeconomic factors considered are literacy, per capita
income, school enrollment, poverty ratio, the ratio of agricultural to
nonagricultural workers, and a composite index of rural
development
"On the basis of coefficients of correlation a
significant relationship was found between the level of rural
development and almost all the demographic variables except the total
fertility rate (TFR)....Mean age at marriage was positively correlated
and that too quite significantly, whereas the other demographic
variables were negatively correlated....[A] pronounced negative
relationship was found between general literacy and CBR, CDR and IMR.
A highly positive relationship was evident between the general literacy
rate and the mean age at marriage. In particular, the enrollment of
girls in school (11-14 age-group) seemed to be most influential in
shaping demographic behaviour in rural areas...."

Economic development in Ethiopia from 1953 to 1980 is analyzed,
with particular reference to governmental efforts at agricultural

period were accelerated population growth and the declining
availability of arable land, which, combined with the failure of
governmental efforts at agricultural planning, led to catastrophe. The
changes implemented by the present government, although not primarily
responsible for the present problems, seem to have had adverse effects
and to have decreased both agricultural productivity and

Arbor, Michigan. In Eng.
The impact of women's relative economic
contribution to the household on the fertility decision-making process
in Malaysia is analyzed using data from the Malaysian Family Life
Survey of 1976-1977. "Two multiple regression techniques were used:
logistic regression and two-least squares where wife's and husband's
desires for additional children were assumed to be simultaneously
determined."
The results indicate that women who contribute
relatively more to the household are more likely to want more children,
while their husbands are less likely. Although relative income is not
significant, differences among ethnic groups persist, with Malay
husbands and wives seeing more economic benefits from large families
than do other groups.

"Using a purely theoretical analysis we show
how long run demoeconomic behavior depends on household preferences,
productivity and the cost of childrearing. In particular a dominant
trend in growth can be interspersed with periods of fluctuation as
slowly moving changes in productivity, preference and child care costs
push nonlinearities past crucial bifurcation points. Moreover, under
'robust conditions' nonperiodic, essentially unpredictable demoeconomic
behavior can occur, thus suggesting a possible explanation for
persistent and substantial errors in population forecasts."

This is a study of the demographic and
household processes that characterize an agro-pastoral people, the
Tamang, living in north central Nepal. It is based on fieldwork
undertaken in 1981 and 1982 and uses a combination of anthropological
and demographic methodologies. The author's main theme is that the
community studied is on the brink of a radical transformation causes
primarily by the inability of the local environment to support the
population's subsistence needs. The most important cause of this
situation is identified as population growth, which is in turn a
function of how the local economy is organized. The author examines
the adaptive strategies employed by the community and how they
intersect with demographic and household processes. Three major
processes are considered: the annual subsistence cycle, demographic
processes of fertility and population expansion, and the household
developmental cycle.

The authors note that
the female labor force in the Netherlands increased by 34 percent
between 1960 and 1971 and by 51 percent between 1971 and 1981. The
impact of changes in the age and marital status distribution of the
female population on these statistics is
examined.

"This study attempts to analyze the
quantitative aspects of the female labour force in [the Republic of]
Korea, 1970 and 1980, by constructing a series of labour force life
tables which are useful in studying the process of the growth and
structural change of the labour force." Data are primarily taken from
the census. Factors affecting women's entry into and exit from the
labor force are analyzed, including fertility, age of children, and
marital status.

An analysis
of the employment histories of women with children in the United
Kingdom in the 1960s and 1970s is presented. The data are from the
Medical Research Council's National Survey of Health and Development
and concern a cohort of women born in 1946. The focus is on the first
paid work these women undertook after becoming mothers and the extent
to which this job involved a change in occupation from the job held
before the first birth. Issues considered include causes of the low
economic status of many women's jobs; the utilization of available
human resources; the labor market consequences of fertility; the
opportunity costs of fertility; and the effect on fertility decisions
of employment prospects.

Center for Population Studies: Cambridge, Massachusetts. In Eng.
The authors examine the role of U.S. women in the labor force in
recent decades, with a focus on working women and day care for their
children in the 1980s. "Following a review of structural changes in
the economy and accompanying demographic trends leading to the changing
role of women in the labor force, we will examine how famlies today are
caring for their children while the mother is at work, and the extent
to which employers and state, local, and federal governments currently
address these concerns. A concluding section will speculate on the way
in which current demographic trends relating to delayed childbearing,
marital instability, and declining family size will affect the labor
force participation of women with children. We will also examine the
ability of public and private employers to handle the potential demands
placed upon them by women with young children." Data are primarily
from the June 1982 Current Population Survey.

Recent trends in labor force participation
among young U.S. women are reviewed, with primary consideration given
to ways in which they juggle job and family responsibilities. The
authors identify the provision of adequate and affordable child care
facilities as the major factor affecting employment, particularly among
poorly educated and low income women.

Labor force
participation in Belgium among young married women with a family is
examined using data from the 1982-1983 NEGO IV fertility survey. The
results indicate a trend away from the U-shaped labor force
participation pattern in which women left the labor force to have
children and only returned when the youngest child reached school
age.

patterns and contrasts by sex of spouse. Demography, Vol. 24, No.

"Work shifts of
full-time dual-earner couples are analyzed with data from the May 1980
U.S. Current Population Survey. Over 20 percent of husbands and about
12 percent of wives work other than a regular day shift. Variations in
shift work status by sex of spouse are examined according to job, race,
and life-cycle characteristics. A multivariate analysis indicates that
a different composite of factors affects the shift work status of
husbands and wives. Given the wide variation in the prevalence of
non-day employment within major groups and the sex segregation of the
labor force, we look at detailed occupations and industries to the
extent possible."

The authors first discuss inconsistencies in
census data concerning the economically active population of Mexico,
especially in the 1980 census. They then give their reasons for
believing that correction of these inconsistencies is necessary.
Finally, they present their proposals for adjusting the census data to
rectify these inconsistencies.
