Castellon, Raul. The demographic revolution in Cuba.
[La revolucion demografica en Cuba.] Demografia, 1988. 219 pp.
Editorial de Ciencias Sociales: Havana, Cuba. In Spa. with sum. in Eng.
This is an analysis of the demographic changes that have occurred
in Cuba since the Revolution of 1959. The theoretical aspects of
demographic change associated with revolutionary social and economic
change in a developing country are first examined from both Marxist and
non-Marxist viewpoints. The social situation in Cuba before the
Revolution is described, and the demographic changes subsequent to the
Revolution are analyzed, with consideration given to the impact of
economic changes, education, and urbanization on mortality, migration,
population growth, demographic aging, and fertility. A final chapter
is concerned with the demographic future after the postrevolutionary
changes have been completed.

"The islet of Ebeye, located at the southeastern
corner of Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands, currently has one of
the world's highest population densities. This essay traces population
change on the small islet throughout the twentieth century, focusing in
particular upon the demographic processes that led to this dense
concentration of people. In documenting the demographic history of
Ebeye, the study contrasts the evolving population structure on this
islet with similar developments on Majuro Atoll (location of the
largest concentration of people in the Marshall Islands) and in the
remainder of the Marshalls. The demography of Ebeye is evaluated in
ecological and regional terms, in an attempt to assess the long-term
impact of its extremely dense population."

children: family and property--the fundament of economy and
society. German Comments, No. 17, Jan 1990. 73-81 pp. Osnabruck,
Germany, Federal Republic of. In Eng.
The consequences of current
demographic trends in West Germany are examined. The author notes that
the total population is already declining and, if present trends
continue, will drop from today's 57 million to 29 million by the year
2050. The reasons for the reluctance of many Germans to have children
are reviewed, and ways to encourage them to do so are discussed. The
author concludes that solving this demographic crisis is the greatest
challenge faced by the German people since the resolution of the
country's economic problems following World War
II.

"Although Albania's rather peculiar demographic development
is often commented upon, little is in fact known about the regional
differentiation within the country. This research note therefore sets
out to tentatively describe and analyse Albania's population geography.
Regional variations in vital indicators, natural and actual growth as
well as inter-district and rural-to-urban migration are amongst the
issues brought up. Some implications for the social processes currently
unfolding in Albania, and for the study of these processes, are
identified."

Among the findings are that the population of the United States is
growing by approximately one percent per year, the South and West are
the most rapidly growing regions, population growth is concentrated in
metropolitan areas, the long decline of the farm population has
stopped, average household size is at a record low, women with newborns
have increased their labor force participation, and homeownership rates
are unchanged.

population quality, with 4.9 percent physically or mentally
handicapped. The difficulties in providing housing, food, health
services, and education for China's enormous population are discussed.
Family planning strategies and their successes and failures are
