census. [Notas sobre aparentes contradicoes na estrutura por idade

Estatistica, Vol. 46, No. 181-182, Jan-Jun 1985. 53-121 pp. Rio de
Janeiro, Brazil. In Por.
Age pyramids derived from data in the 1980
census of Brazil are analyzed and compared with age pyramids from
previous censuses. It is hypothesized that the differences noted are
the results of the combined effects of population growth in the 1950s
and a drop in the fertility rate beginning in the 1960s. These, in
turn, are associated with the massive use of antibiotics in the 1950s,
which led to a decline in mortality, and the use of birth control
methods beginning in the 1960s, which affected fertility. Variations
in the demographic characteristics of the country's administrative
regions tend to confirm this thesis.

The authors examine the age pyramid of the Soviet
Union, which was published by Murray Feshbach in 1985 and is based on
1979 census data. Evidence of irregularities in data recording,
particularly with reference to the male population, is found. This age
pyramid and those for the 1959 and 1970 censuses are reconstituted by
single years of age, and intercensal and cohort survival probabilities
are estimated. Possible error sources, including undercount in civil
registration and censuses, are identified. Evidence is also found of a
rise in mortality at younger ages, particularly among males.

"This
article presents initial findings from a survey entitled 'The
Population and the De-Population of Paris' dealing with the residence
histories of people aged between 50 and 60, living in Greater Paris.
An analysis of their origins confirms the importance of post-war
immigration in the population growth of Paris: 43% of the sample were
born in the Ile-de-France Region. The foreign-born represent 15% of
the population. Provincials 'come up' to Paris at a very early age;
they are on average 21 years old on arrival, while foreigners arrive
later (31 years old), most frequently after having founded a family."
Consideration is given to questions concerning the continuation of
links with regions of origin.

The demographic effects of low fertility on the growth and age
composition of the U.S. population are studied, and the social
implications of these conditions are considered. The author projects
U.S. population growth for the period 1980-2100 at alternative low
levels of fertility with and without net immigration. Age
distributions in 2100 at various low levels of fertility, with and
without net immigration, are also calculated. Retirement benefits, the
labor force, political implications, and the future of education are
discussed in light of continued low fertility
trends.

Development Review, Vol. 12, Suppl., 1987. 248-61 pp. Population
Council: New York, New York. In Eng.
The author examines population
dynamics in industrialized countries given immigration and low
fertility. His approach involves open populations and long-term
equilibrium solutions, with attention to the dynamics preceding the
attainment of an equilibrium population. The author projects total
U.S. population and hypothetical populations by origin through the year
2780 and presents summary demographic measures for the United States
for 1980-1985 and for the eventual stationary population. He concludes
that "when a population experiences both immigration and low fertility,
we have seen that a kind of demographic transfusion occurs as it
proceeds to a long-run stationary state. The initial population and its
descendants diminish under the pressures of below-replacement
fertility, to be replaced by a new population of immigrants and their
descendants."

"The present
study examined the articulated perceptions and policies on aging by
Governments in the developing regions of the world. Two recent sets of
data were analysed to obtain information in this respect. One was the
aggregate of documents from the World Assembly on Aging held at Vienna
in 1982, particularly reports and statements submitted to the Assembly
by 52 developing countries on the situation of the aged in their
country. The other source was an analysis with respect to aging of the
Fifth Population Inquiry among Governments, an investigation conducted
by the United Nations in 1983 to monitor a broad range of government
policies and perceptions on demographic trends in relation to
development. The analysis revealed substantial concern in developing
countries with the health and welfare of the rising number of older
persons in their populations....Interest in policies to benefit the
aged was not limited to countries with relatively higher proportions of
older persons or to those with rapidly aging demographic structures.
It was also present in some with very young populations, such as among
African nations."

from the end of 1975, the stable rate of growth r=0.0100 induces the
most rapid process of stabilization of the Polish age

The social and

comparatively for developing and developed countries. The author
considers the development of the elderly population, 1950-1980; how
fertility and mortality relate to the different age structures; and the
proportion of females among the elderly population, 1950 and 1980.
Discussion of anticipated future developments focuses on the
assumptions concerning fertility and mortality that the United Nations
employed in making its 1981-1982 population projections to the year
2025. Population trends, changes in dependency ratios, and other
socioeconomic implications for the future are also
considered.

The concept of optimum population is examined, with reference to

authors note that since the possibility of changing the structure of
population by changing reproduction patterns is remote, the only
alternative is to change the social roles and functions of age and sex
groups. They suggest that the primary objective of population policy
should be to encourage such changes rather than to try to change
reproductive behavior. Particular attention should be paid to the
increased potential contribution of the elderly.

in recent years from one of low fertility and high mortality to one of
improved health care services, lower mortality, and higher fertility.
The consequences have included a significant increase in the proportion

Improvements in the quality of available census data and in the
sophistication of data analysis are noted.

"This
dissertation describes and justifies a new general procedure for
indirectly estimating intercensal age schedules of demographic events
(net migration, fertility, nuptiality) from a pair of tabulations of a
status of a population (number born elsewhere, average children ever
born, proportion ever married), classified by age. The procedure is an
extension of an existing technique called iterative intracohort
interpolation....The procedure is then used to estimate average annual
numbers of foreign born net migrants to the United States, by sex and
age, during each of the intercensal decades between 1880 and 1930. The
data used are census tabulations of the foreign born white population
by sex and single year of age, and counts of the numbers of registered
immigrants to the United States by sex and year of entry."

at birth, including race, socioeconomic status, father's age, and birth
order, are considered, and selected regional and country-specific
trends are discussed. Particular attention is given to the
relationship between hepatitis B infection in parents and the sex ratio
at birth of their offspring. "This study suggests that the hepatitis B
carrier state in parents may increase the sex ratio of their offspring.
The available data are too scarce for a definite answer, but this
study does not support the hypothesis that immunization against
hepatitis B would greatly affect the sex ratio at birth of the future
generations."

The relationship between growth status and age at menarche is
examined using data for 697 urban school girls in Hyderabad, India,
from an upper middle income background. The mean age at menarche was
12.4 years. Consideration is given to other factors affecting age at
menarche, such as body weight, per capita income, parental education,
father's occupation, and family size. There was little correlation
between mother's and daughter's age at menarche, and little evidence to
support the hypothesis that a critical body weight triggers menarche.
"It is possible that environmental factors including modernization and
changing trends in the living patterns may play an important role in
influencing the age at menarche in an urban situation."

different levels of social mobility, and that patterns of social
mobility vary between migrants and nonmigrants.
