African family; to mortality levels, the health situation in Africa,
and the possible impact of crises [such as famine]; and to migration
and urbanization. A final chapter reviews the problems of training and

"Information contained in the four
censuses of Iran, taken in 1956, 1966, 1976 and 1986, is sufficient for
an analysis of the country's demographic situation. The increase in
population from 19 million to 50 million in 1986 makes the Iranian rate
of growth one of the highest in the world....More than half of Iran's
population live in towns....The average size of household has increased
from 4.8 to 5.1 during the same period. Marriage occurs at an early age
and is virtually universal....Literacy rates have also been rising
sharply from 15 per cent in 1956 to 62 per cent in 1986 in the
population aged 10 and over, and the gap between rural and urban
populations in this respect has narrowed. A comparison of population
projections with inter-censal growth rates suggests that there has been
large-scale immigration to Iran, of the order of three million persons,
most probably from Afghanistan."

The author examines "recent
demographic trends in Europe, more particularly in the countries of the
European Community. Special attention is paid to the generalized
decline of fertility to levels well below those needed for replacement
of the present population. The decline in fertility is linked to the
emergence of new patterns of union and family formation, and the
implications for the future are briefly discussed." Factors
contributing to this fertility level drop include declines in number of
marriages, large families (three or more children), and remarriage, and
increases in age of mother at first birth, divorce rates, number of
years of schooling, women's status and use of
contraception.

Recent population trends in Vanuatu based on
1979 census data are analyzed. "A high annual growth rate of 3.2 per
cent between 1967 and 1979, resulting primarily from a high constant
fertility and a decline in mortality, has been far from homogeneous, as
indicated by considerable inter-island fluctuations ranging from -0.9
per cent to +11.5 per cent. Although the likelihood of regional
variations in natural increase cannot be ruled out, internal migration
and recent structural changes in mobility are regarded as the principal
reasons for these developments." It is estimated that the population
will double by the year 2000.

"The attention devoted since 1981 to studies of
counterurbanisation has masked the widespread existence of population
decline, particularly in smaller parishes, demonstrated here with data
from the East Midlands [of England]. Traditional explanations of rural
depopulation seem inadequate, since these changes are taking place
within broader areas which display the more familiar demographic growth
referred to as counterurbanisation. Instead a combination of
gentrification and geriatrification, leading to falling household size
and diminishing housing stock, has meant that counterurbanisation has
caused population decline at the parish scale--a paradox with important
implications both for our understanding of the rural system and for
rural planning policies."
