ISBN 0-644-08527-X. 1988. 141 pp. Canberra, Australia. In Eng.
Current and future trends in Australia's population are discussed
using data from the 1986 census. The first section of the report
focuses on population growth and change in state capital cities, with
consideration given to urban sprawl, age structure, immigrant
settlement, the urban family, employment, and the future of the cities.
A second section reviews Australia's trends in population growth, with
data provided on fertility, mortality, natural increase, and
international migration, including migrants' skills, age structure, and
sex distribution. The final section considers the country's population
profile, with subsections on age structure, including demographic
aging, the elderly, youth, and implications for policy planning; the
Australian family, with data on marriage, divorce, single-parent
families, and childbearing and childlessness; and foreigners, including
duration of residence in Australia, labor force participation and the
brain gain, and religion. Other topics of discussion are
second-generation migrant families, Aborigines and Torres Strait
Islanders, and internal migration.

This two-volume work consists of a number of speeches and
articles by the author, many of which have been previously published,
on aspects of population problems in India. The general focus of the
collection is on the needs of the people as a whole, in contrast to a
concern with demographic statistics and family planning program
targets. The author maintains that success in national family planning
efforts is dependent on the lowering of India's female illiteracy and
infant mortality rates. Sections are included on prospects for the
success of family planning, the emphasis on targets, international
perspectives, the demographic data base, the politics of population,
and health care for the vulnerable.

of children, and families and households. In the next section,
population projections are outlined, and the impact of demographic
trends on social and regional structure is assessed. The final section
deals with the long-term consequences of population trends for public
finance, government, and spatial planning.

Causes and
consequences of demographic trends in the United States are
investigated, with a focus on the aging of the baby boom generation and
on changes in traditional marital and household structures. Aspects
considered include population growth, population estimates, fertility
rates, population distribution, and population characteristics.
Anticipated changes in the dependency ratio, the size of the elderly
population, life expectancy, income levels for age groups, and marriage
patterns and household formation are also described. Implications of
these trends are discussed in terms of social security, health care
costs, labor force participation, and poverty levels of women and
children.

internal migration. The authors note a growing trend toward
decentralization since 1960, particularly a movement to the southern

population grew by 11.7 percent between 1970 and 1984, and examine the
impact of this growth on urban, suburban, and rural
areas.

Current demographic trends in Australia and
their implications are assessed. The author concludes that "Australia
faces a relatively favourable demographic future: ageing is proceeding
at a slower pace here, the pattern of the labour force ageing is
conducive to restructuring in the intermediate future, and a
well-established immigration policy can be used to accommodate
demographics with social and economic goals. The financing of social
services for the aged will produce fewer concerns here partly because
of less immediate demographic pressures and partly because of the
orientation of the age-pension system."

described. These include an increase in life expectancy in 1986,
particularly for males, and an increase in the birth rate, although
fertility in European Russia is still below replacement level. The
author then considers how social policy, including family policy, can
be expected to influence demographic variables in accordance with the
country's needs, particularly in light of major differences among
regions in population dynamics. He concludes by considering the
relationship between demographic factors and democracy.
