University of Wisconsin Press: Madison, Wisconsin. In Eng.
Causes
of demographic change in a rural population in Karnataka, southern
India, during the period 1979-1983 are examined. In an attempt to
specifically study the onset of fertility and mortality decline, the
authors lived and worked in an area where demographic transition was
occurring. They incorporated anthropological methods to create
culturally sensitive questionnaires and developed a methodological
approach based on intimate knowledge of a particular society. Chapters
are included on determinants of fertility decline, family planning
programs at the local level, causes of marital change, determinants of
family structure, social components of mortality decline, educational
transition, support of the aged, and change in the rural
environment.

"The major objective of this volume is to identify the salient
features of the diversity in patterns of demographic preference and
behaviour in Egypt, and to investigate the way in which social and
economic modernization has shaped these patterns and affected the
underlying processes. The studies presented here draw upon the data
collected in the Egyptian Fertility Survey which was conducted in 1980
by the Central Agency for Public Mobilisation and Statistics (CAPMAS),
of the Arab Republic of Egypt. This large scale demographic and
socio-economic survey was undertaken as part of the World Fertility
Survey Programme of the International Statistical Institute (WFS/ISI),
and with the collaboration of the World Bank. The principal report on
the survey was published by CAPMAS in 1983 in four volumes." Papers
are presented under four broad topics: nuptiality and fertility, child
survival, demand for children, and fertility regulation.

the population has more than doubled and that its composition has
changed significantly. "The strengths and weaknesses of the

contemporary population trends and issues [are] assessed in terms of
the reality of demographic change between 1936 and

given to the one-child policy and its implications in the context of
projected changes in future population growth and urbanization trends.
The paper also identifies available data and research on the People's

challenges for China: consistent and long-term policy implementation;
collective vs. individual responsibility system; urbanization; age
dependency and family structure; and education and

planning programs and of the policy to reduce India's birth rate by 21
percent by the year 2000 are evaluated.

Korea, Republic of. In Kor. with sum. in Eng.
The demographic
transition that has occurred in Korea during the twentieth century is
reviewed. The authors note that a decline in mortality in the period
1910-1945 led to population increase but that political factors and the
Korean War of the early 1950s disrupted the demographic transition
process. The war was followed by a period of rapid population growth,
with high fertility and a rapid decline in mortality. A policy
designed to reduce fertility was successfully developed in the 1960s in
the Republic of Korea. The paper also describes current and proposed
population policy changes designed to cope with the problems associated
with the achievement of zero population growth by the year 2020,
particularly problems of urbanization and
modernization.

"This paper investigates a number of the
probable reasons for the demographic changes that have occurred in
Gabon, including high incidence of venereal disease, turberculosis and
other diseases, malnutrition, alcoholism, and induced abortion in
earlier years, and the social impacts of increasing affluence in more
recent years. Gabon has increased not only its per capita GNP
(presently it is approximately six times that of Africa as a whole),
but it has also greatly increased its rate of natural increase (from
0.3 percent in the late 1960s to 1.7 percent in 1985)." The author
concludes that the adoption of effective birth control measures will
become necessary if Gabon is to preserve its progress toward greater
economic development.
