"This book is an attempt to
describe and explain the momentous population changes that have taken
place in the People's Republic of China since its founding in 1949.
The cut-off point for incorporating newly available information in the
analysis was January 1985." Chapters are included on the quality of
China's population data; health and morbidity; mortality; the setting
for fertility decline; late marriage and birth planning; the one-child
family campaign; fertility; population distribution, internal
migration, and ethnic groups; and prospects for the future.
Supplementary data and a glossary of terms are included in
appendixes.

This document presents country reports
on demographic developments in Council of Europe member states. Each
report is in two parts: "the first is a short descriptive text in
which each country comments selectively on aspects of demographic
changes which seem to be of particular importance. The second part
consists of a set of tables of demographic data from national
statistics, which were completed as far as the availability of data in
the different countries permits."

human resources. [Explozie si implozie demografica--optimul

Bucharest, Romania. In Rum.
The relationship between economic
growth and population trends is explored in theoretical terms. The
author suggests that populations tend to grow exponentially at first,
then level off, and finally decline. These theoretical concepts are
then considered in the light of Romanian demographic trends. The
author proposes that the optimum demographic trends for Romania would
be achieved by means of a crude birth rate of 18 to 20 per 1,000 and an
annual growth rate of one percent. Policy measures designed to realize
these targets are discussed.

Journal of Population Studies, No. 10, Jun 1987. 15-28 pp. Taipei,
Taiwan. In Chi. with sum. in Eng.
The author attempts to correlate
the endogenous population cycle with changes in age composition by
examining population trends in Taiwan. "It is argued that while the
size of parental cohort is related to the size of offspring cohort by
the renewal process, fluctuations in size are correspondingly
transmitted and averaged time after time." The concepts of population
cycles as a key factor in population change is also
examined.

changes, and urbanization in Zimbabwe: a preliminary assessment
following the 1982 census. African Urban Quarterly, Vol. 2, No. 1,
Feb 1987. 13-23 pp. Albany, New York. In Eng.
"Aspects of
population growth and redistribution [in Zimbabwe], including
urbanization, are assessed using data from the 1982 and earlier
censuses, together with preliminary information from cartographic
analysis extracted from an on-going research programme. It is
concluded that in several respects Zimbabwe typifies sub-Saharan
population trends and imbalances and that a number of ingredients for
an urban spatial transformation are present. However, the presence of
sizeable tracts of under-utilized, formerly European-owned farmland,
and of a semi-developed system of urban places, including mature
'colonial' towns, are seen as significant local modifying
characteristics that potentially offer partial solutions to the
country's population problems."

impact on integration and development trends. Population Bulletin
of ESCWA, No. 29, Dec 1986. 47-65 pp. Baghdad, Iraq. In Eng.
The
author examines three issues: "population structure in the Arab world;
trends making for integration and unity among the Arab countries; and
economic and social development trends." Data from the United Nations
for 1985 and from recent censuses are used to discuss population size,
growth, and spatial distribution; the labor force; age and sex
distribution; and fertility, mortality, and natural increase. Figures
are presented separately for 22 Arab countries. Attention is then
given to the relationships between population structure and economic
and social development and between development and Arab unity and
integration.
