"This atlas consists of over 200 computer-plotted maps
displaying local and regional variations in the recent pattern of
change, distribution and structure of the population. Maps are
included on cultural aspects, economic activity, housing and households
as well as on demographic matters. Wherever possible, a countrywide
perspective is provided by showing variations in both the Republic of
Ireland and Northern Ireland. An accompanying commentary describes the
main features of the maps and is amplified by 30 tables with regional
and other summary data." Data are primarily from the 1981 censuses and
from the Republic of Ireland census of 1986, together with
retrospective data from the 1971 censuses.

These
are the proceedings of a conference held in Paris, March 5-7, 1987,
concerning demographic trends in France and the Federal Republic of
Germany. The conference brought together French and German
demographers to examine causes and consequences of the rapid decline in
fertility in the two countries and to cooperate on the development of a
population policy adapted to contemporary European needs. The
consequences considered include the prospects for population decline in
both countries, particularly in the Federal Republic of Germany; the
aging of the population; the cost of providing for the needs of the
elderly; and the decline in innovation that is associated with
demographic aging. The development of effective family and immigration
policies is also explored.

these changes will result in a large potential labor force and in high
levels of employment.

Some general issues concerning
current and future population trends in Australia are considered. The
author argues against the need for continued high levels of population
growth. She concludes that "the least disruptive path to eventual
equilibrium is to maintain fertility near replacement level and to
reduce the migrant intake to about one-third of the current level, i.e.
to a net intake of about 50,000 per year."
