contraceptive use, and maternal and child health services. Data are
included on age structure, marital and occupational status, religion,
literacy levels, educational status, and fertility and mortality
trends, specifically infant mortality. The authors also examine the
attitudes of acceptors and nonacceptors of family planning methods,
including their age, parity, and participation in maternal and child

areas of the district of Bahraich in Uttar Pradesh surveyed in 1985.

demographic transition that seems to have occurred in Western Europe
since the mid-1960s, involving below-replacement fertility levels,
changes in marriage and family building patterns, and an overall
population decrease. Comparisons are then made with the first
demographic transition. Papers are also included on a comparative
analysis of mate selection in Belgium and Flanders, the impact of
changes in marriage and the family on the child, the contraceptive
revolution, and the family and household life cycle. A final paper
considers appropriate population policies for these changing
demographic conditions.

This report
summarizes data from the 1981 census of India on fertility, child
mortality, and age at marriage. The data are presented at both state
and district levels. One of the objectives of the summary is to
identify districts where rates of early marriage, child mortality, and
fertility are patricularly high. Some 48 districts are so identified.
"Of these 48 districts, 18 are [in] Madhya Pradesh, 12 in Rajasthan and
18 in Uttar Pradesh. These districts together cover about 73.9 million
population constituting over 11 per cent of India's population
excluding Assam. A list of these 48 districts is enclosed in the
Annexure."

"This paper examines the
temporal, spatial and altitudinal distribution of the Ethiopian
population with an emphasis on the 1984 census, the first national
census to be carried out in Ethiopia. Differential rural/urban growth
and geographical/altitudinal patterns are analysed in relation to
economic, demographic, political and historical factors. This is the
first population study of woredas, the smallest administrative units in
Ethiopia."

Demographic trends are compared for two communes in the
Gharb region of Morocco, one of which was the site of an irrigation
project. Data are from the 1971 and 1982 censuses. The results of
regression analysis showed that, in the irrigated area, marriage age
declined, fertility rose, and infant mortality
declined.

"Six
villages in upland West Bengal, India, were resurveyed in 1987 and the
results compared with the data from a larger area studied in 1977-1978.
There has been a 6.4% increase in the human population, but the number
of households has decreased by 1.7%. The cattle population has
increased 14.4% with male cattle accounting for the bulk of the
increase. A crossbreeding program implemented 8 years ago has had
virtually no beneficial effects. Other observations on the general
welfare of humans and domestic animals are
presented."

"The
heart of the demographic problem in South Africa, from the economic
point of view, is that quantities are not matched by appropriate
qualities. There is, among the population, an inverse correlation
between the rate of creating life and the ability to sustain
life....First World medicine has controlled mortality without a
concomitant effect on fertility, resulting in the customary vicious
circle of proliferating numbers generating deficient human material,
economic inertia, unemployment, poverty and hunger. These inhibit the
progress of 'responsible parenthood' for the control of fertility and
thus of population growth."

published in 1986, the current demographic situation is examined in its
various aspects: age structure, natality, nuptiality, mortality,
migration and urbanization. The relationship between population and
development, particularly as regards demographic transition, is
established, leading to comparisons between Africa and the rest of the
world."
