This is one in a series of studies analyzing the social, economic,
and cultural effects of current demographic trends at the local level
in Belgium, with the aim of giving local policymakers a basis for
decisions concerning infrastructure, education, and administration.
The focus of the present report is on local government and concerns the
communes of Hannut, Huy, and Waremme. A demographic analysis of the
communes is presented, followed by results of a survey conducted in
1986. The final part considers the impact of demography on the
administration of the communes. The author notes that all of the
communes sought an increase in population at a time when the population
as a whole was either not growing or declining and that the provision
of infrastructures for a hypothetical population leads to a waste of
resources.

The author points out that the rapid population growth that has

unequal regional rates of development have resulted in the development
of a large-scale system of migration from peripheral to central
regions.

"The goal of this paper is
to review those explanatory models that dominate social demography in
Quebec. The classical organization of demography, which calls upon the
three components of demographic reproduction--fertility, migration and
mortality--is followed. The concluding part of the paper deals with
the concept of 'demographic regime', which aims to bring the three
components together into an overall theory of demographic reproduction.
The paper shows that if the functionalist and empirical tradition
(mostly American) has dominated the field of demography for a very long
time, feminist and materialistic approaches have recently appeared for
the interpretation of demographic realities."

theory, population forecasting, the improvement of conditions for
working mothers and their children, and migration, particularly the
need to develop an adequate labor supply for northern and eastern
Siberia. The importance of maintaining continued national population
growth in order to provide a larger labor force to support an expanding
economy is stressed.
