The book is a product of a workshop held at the University of Sheffield in March 1985. It consists of four general papers on topics such as household trends, counter-urbanization, and international migration; case studies on Denmark, Ireland, France, the Federal Republic of Germany, Italy, Portugal, and the United Kingdom; and a paper on future change in European populations.

The authors present an overview of anticipated population trends and policies in the developing countries of Eastern and Southeastern Asia. Attention is given to various population projections to the years 2000 and 2025, the sources of these projections, and the assumptions on which they are based. The population policies of 14 countries in the region are then discussed. It is noted that those countries with no commitment to support family planning are not likely to reach fertility levels in line with those on which U.N. population projections are based. Changes in population policies in China, Singapore, Malaysia, and the Philippines are summarized.

"Although increasing, the attention demographers pay to epistemology and sociology of science questions with respect to the discipline is limited. This article first indicates the relevance of a sociology of science approach regarding Dutch demography. Next, the authors present empirical data on the publication and citation behavior of Dutch demographic researchers. The data refer to 1982 and 1983 and cover 408 publications. Among others, attention is paid to the language in which publications appear, the type of medium in which demographers write, the age structure of the publications and the topics published. All references used in these publications were investigated along the same lines. Conclusions deal with the relevance of the findings in relation to contemporary Dutch science policy and the future of Dutch demography."

"During the past 15 years spectacular changes in demographic behaviour have occurred in parts of east and south-east Asia. In this paper these changes are examined and contrasted with those that have taken place in parts of Europe at the corresponding period. Although it was to be expected that the Asian transitions would have been much shorter than in Europe, it is surprising that the transition in Asian countries has in many respects caught up with and even overtaken that in the European countries where it occurred much earlier."

This report on the population dynamics of Southern Africa is the product of two conferences held in South Africa in early 1985 under the auspices of the 1820 Foundation. These conferences were primarily concerned with the population situation in South Africa and involved participants from various racial and ethnic groups. The recommendations stress the need to depoliticize family planning and make it the responsibility of the private sector, to involve the people in the planning process, to promote education for the majority population, to remove government restraints on the free-market economy, to promote rural development, and to encourage privatization.
