"In this article a
brief summary is given of the results of an inquiry held by the
Steering Committee on Population in January 1984 on the composition,
functions and work of national advisory bodies in the demographic field
in the member states of the Council of Europe." The focus is on the
government departments responsible for population policies, advice,
statistics, and research. The author concludes that not only do
arrangements differ significantly among countries, but the provisions
for producing the research and data on which realistic policies can be
based are generally inadequate.

"After briefly summarizing the
development of the terms of reference of the [U.N.] Population
Commission over the past 40 years, the author projects its future
activities for the near, mid and long term." The author anticipates
that future activities will include preparation for another population
conference in 1994; increased supervision of population programs within
and outside the U.N. system; and work toward an analysis of all
population activity in the U.N. system, organized by demographic
subject area. He calls for improved utilization of demographic
information and the creation of a permanent computerized demographic
encyclopedia in the world's major languages. It is projected that
future issues facing the United Nations will include shrinking national
populations and, ultimately, the establishment of human populations in
outer space.

"Among its accomplishments are the organization of seminars on
demographic research in relation to population growth targets and on
infant mortality in relation to the level of fertility, and demographic
research in relation to internal migration. CICRED was also
instrumental in gaining the co-operation of national research
institutions in a project resulting in the publication of 56 national
monographs. In co-operation with the [U.N.] Population Division,
CICRED prepared and published two editions of a population multilingual
thesaurus. This collaboration also led to the creation of the
Population Information Network (POPIN)." The Inter-Centre Co-operative
Research Programme, started in 1977, is also
discussed.

The authors examine population
policies, both worldwide and with reference to Spain. Part 1 deals
with general concepts and the study of population issues. The focus in
Part 2 is on European population policies, with particular reference to
changes in the structure of the family and the impact on domestic
policies as well as to international policies concerning health and
population programs. In Part 3, the authors consider the development
of specific policies, with attention to questions concerning women's
attitudes, infant health and mortality, life expectancy and aging, the
medical profession, and resources for public health.
The authors
critically examine seven concepts on which public health policies could
be based. They conclude with their own suggestions for both a sound
public health policy involving popular participation and a national
population policy for Spain.

The author considers
the potential impact of a provision of a 1985 Wisconsin law that makes
the parents of a dependent minor financially responsible, given certain
circumstances, for the minor's children. Provisions of the law, which
is designed to reduce the need for abortion, are outlined. The
grandparent liability provision is discussed, and subsequent legal
challenges to it are summarized. It is noted that the impact of the
measure on adolescent sexual behavior and state welfare expenditures is
to be assessed prior to 1990, when the provision will terminate unless
extended by the legislature.

Population Bulletin of the United Nations, No. 19-20, 1987. 129-38 pp.
New York, New York. In Eng.
The author describes the development of
technical assistance as a function of the U.N. Population Commission,
noting that when it was first established the Commission was not
responsible for providing technical assistance to governments. Its
work in the 1950s focused on data collection and analytic studies as
well as assistance in population policy and action programs. The 1960s
saw controversy over the issue of technical assistance in population
and a shift toward direct assistance with population problems. A new
emphasis on family planning programs and the creation of the United
Nations Fund for Population Activities (UNFPA) followed. Changes in
technical cooperation since 1978, when the Population Programme and
Projects Office was transferred to the Department of Technical
Co-operation for Development, are also discussed.

The author takes issue with "the Report of the Netherlands
Interdepartmental Committee on Population Policy, which stated that
'the present level of population growth does not exclude the attainment
of a stationary population'." It is argued instead that an increase in
immigration is the only way to achieve a stationary population because
neither a spontaneous increase in fertility nor the necessary effective
population policy measures can be expected.

of regional development problems. The author describes the substantive
aspects of the programs and notes the influence their activities have
had in raising government awareness of population and its relationship
to development issues. The work of each regional training center is

empirical evidence, the actual objective of the seminar became an
exploration, with Brazil, Mexico, Peru and Bolivia as case studies, of
questions such as: what applications, what knowledge, what
relationships, what emphases, what transmission mechanisms, what
communication channels, what investment by public and private agencies
are needed to respond to the demand--actual and potential--for
demographic knowledge for policy purposes."
The seminar brought
together not only academics, but parliamentarians, members of
international agencies, and other professionals concerned with
population issues. The focus of the discussion was on ways and means
of improving existing flows of information and of expanding knowledge
available for policy purposes.

Policy measures affecting
fertility, recently adopted in Belgium, are reviewed. The author notes
that although responsibility for population matters has been delegated
to the respective language groups, the responsibility for family law,
divorce, abortion, social security, taxation, and labor policy remains
a national responsibility. There are currently no measures in these
areas adopted primarily for demographic reasons. Differences between
the approaches taken by the French- and Dutch-speaking communities are
noted. The author suggests that the French-speaking community has
focused on problems relating to contraception and abortion, and the
Dutch-speaking community has emphasized social welfare and family
policy.

within countries. Little success in efforts to control internal
migration is found. With regard to fertility control, developments in
contraceptive technology and the frequency of interventions are shown
to be significant determinants of success.

"This paper uses a wide range of social,
economic, and demographic criteria to evaluate China's present
one-child policy and five alternative fertility policies that might
guide China's population control efforts until the end of the century,
when the one-child policy is scheduled to be abandoned. These criteria
include the policies' macrodemographic impact on total population size
and population aging; their microdemographic effects on the family's
ability to support the elderly, its economic capabilities, and the
position of women; and their cultural acceptability to the majority Han
Chinese population."
It is found "that the least desirable strategy
is to retain the present policy; all the two-child alternatives perform
better than the current one-child policy in achieving the macro- and
microlevel policy goals considered."

The author discusses the pro-natalist policies of
Cameroon, measures that are not explicit population policies but are
instead implied in other government policies and pronouncements. It is
argued that "this pronatalist policy partly has its roots in the
inherent cultures of the people which have been forged from several
years of ravages from epidemic and endemic diseases, inter-tribal
conflicts and slave trade. These have been further authenticated,
constitutionalised and perpetuated by official policy which bears the
stamp of its French colonial masters...."
These policies include
"legislation against contraception and abortions, discriminatory
taxation in favour of married persons, family allowances and other
travel, leave, transfer, retirement, housing and educational benefits
and concessions for persons with large families as well as an elaborate
network of mother and child health care centers." Attention is also
given to the establishment of family planning and family care clinics,
contraceptive availability, and illegal
abortions.

In Eng.
The laws adopted in 1986 in the United States to control
illegal immigration are described, and their impact is assessed. The
author notes that the burden of enforcement will primarily fall on
potential employers of illegal immigrants. Attention is given to the
demographic characteristics of the illegal migrant population. The
author concludes that current U.S. demographic trends may in due course
lead to a swing in public opinion in favor of further
immigration.
