An iteration
method is used to estimate China's 1981 midyear population, given
census data on births and deaths in 1981 and midyear population for
1982. The author mathematically proves the convergence of the
iteration method and outlines a simplified method, which is shown to be
as accurate as the conventional iteration method.

distribution by age, age distribution by broad age group, dependency
ratio, women aged 15-45 years, and average age. Family structure
tables include data on the number of childless families; family types,
including married couples, consensual unions, single-father families
and single-mother families; and number of children by family type.
Urban-rural differences in family size are noted, and differences in
the demographic composition of the prosperous eastern regions and the
less prosperous western regions are outlined.

specifically covering the components of population change; namely,
fertility, mortality, and migration. In addition, a brief view of

notes that the population has declined since 1980, primarily because of
the large number of refugees leaving the country. Approximately
one-quarter of the population of Afghanistan is currently living in

The authors report on the current population situation in the
Federal Republic of Germany, using the most recent data available,
generally for 1985-1987. Figures for earlier years are given for
purposes of comparison, and data from other European Community and
selected other countries are presented. The section on demography
provides tables, diagrams, and analyses pertaining to marriages and
divorces; fertility; abortion; mortality; migration, including asylum
seekers; population size and structure; population projections; and
households and families. The section on employment includes statistics
and diagrams pertaining to the labor force, type of employment,
employment by sector of the economy, income, and employment of females
by number of children. Economic models and employment data sources are
discussed. "The most remarkable 1986 event in terms of demography is
the increase in births by 6.8 per cent to 626,000 live
births....Nevertheless, the Federal Republic of Germany remains the
country with the lowest fertility level of the world." Data are taken
primarily from official sources in the Federal Republic and the
European Community.

The author attempts to estimate the

age structure. The divergence between intrinsic...and real rates of
natural increase was defined in subpopulations of women and men
separately. The divergence between rates in the two subpopulations was
estimated. Analysis of dynamics and oscillation of intrinsic and real
rates concerned [the] period 1960-1985, however the projection approach
to the potential of population growth relates to the period
1975-2075....By reduction of [the] intrinsic rate of natural increase
to the zero level after [the year] 2000, the potential, stationary size
of Poland's population is obtained, at the level of 47.1

Reference Bureau: Washington, D.C. In Eng.
Population projections,
as distinct from forecasts, are defined in detail, with emphasis on the
need to examine the assumptions underlying a given projection. "The
reliability of the projections stems from the assumptions selected.
Rules of thumb for reliability: 1) the shorter the projection period,
the more reliable the projection is likely to prove; 2) the larger the
geographic area being projected, the more reliable the projection is
likely to be; 3) the lower the current fertility and the higher the
current life expectancy, the greater will be the reduction in the
projection's likely margin of error. Major sources of data and
projections on world, regional, national, subnational, and local areas
are discussed, as are the difficulties with data for developing
countries."

observations pertaining to the global level are made, the focus is on
Latin America for selected years from 1950 to 1980. It is found that
"the quality of population projections improved since 1950. In
addition, short-term projections are found to be relatively more
accurate than those for the long-term....In the medium- or long-term
projections, at least in the Latin American case, the assumptions
regarding mortality were far from the real situation. The important
factors in the projections are found to be in the order of base
population, fertility and mortality."

"In this paper we present a projection
model for the simulation of household events. The model focuses on
household dynamics, rather than on comparative statics as in the
headship rate approach. It applies insights from multidimensional
(multistate) demography to household and lifestyle modelling. The unit
of analysis and modelling is the individual. Household composition
matrices are used to obtain results for households. Algorithms that
provide for the dependency in behaviour between the members of a
household are discussed. The model is applied to data from the 1984
Lifestyle Survey for the Netherlands. Simulations show that the
proportion of cohabiting couples among private households will be
doubled by the end of the century, but that married couples will not
lose their dominant position."

and conflicts between forecasting and policy. Particular attention is
given to forecasting as persuasion, the ideological element in data
presentation, the advantage of disinterested forecasts, and the
division of labor between statisticians and users of forecasts.
Finally, the assessment of error is discussed.

"For several years, Lawrence Berkeley
Laboratory has been using a model to provide projections at the local
level of population, labor force, and unemployment by race, sex, and
age for more than 1,200 substate areas [in the United States]. The
labor force, and unemployment projections use the population
projections and rely on the assumption that local trends can be
approximated by national trends. Summary Tape File 4 of the 1980
census has made it possible to test these assumptions by comparing the
projections against actual data. The tests show that local changes in
the labor force can be approximated by national trends, but local
changes in unemployment do not follow national trends."

"This article deals with the forecast accuracy and bias of
population projections for 2,971 counties in the United States. It
uses three different projection techniques and data from 1950, 1960,
1970, and 1980 to make two sets of 10-year projections and one set of
20-year projections. These projections are compared with census counts
to determine forecast errors. The size, direction, and distribution of
forecast errors are analyzed by size of place, rate of growth, and
length of projection horizon. A number of consistent patterns are
noted, and an extension of the empirical results to the production of
confidence intervals for population projections is considered."
