"The author briefly sketches the main underlying influences which have dominated population changes over the past two centuries and those that are likely to persist over the next fifty years: the peopling of many of the lesser populated areas of the world by Europeans, the massive improvements in human mobility, the division of the world's population into states, the growth of the secondary and tertiary sectors, the widespread and large scale urbanization, growing concentration of population in economic core areas, differential demographic transition, major social changes, the spread of education and the universalization of information flows, [and] the growing influnece of governments upon population change."

Estimates are made for the country as a whole and for its administrative regions. The primary objective is to present estimates that are not subject to the underestimation prevalent in earlier estimates.

The author evaluates assumptions made in a January 1989 report by the U.S. Bureau of the Census projecting the U.S. population to the year 2080. "Questionable assumptions in the report's most likely scenario are discussed. These are: (1) that immigrants bear children at the same rate as their equivalent age and racial group in the United States population (2) that the high TFR [total fertility rate] of Hispanics will not raise the overall 1.8 TFR foreseen for whites as the Hispanic proportion of the white population continues to grow (3) that net yearly immigration will fall to 575,000 in 1990 and 500,000 by 2000. The Census Bureau's 'high' assumption of 800,000 net yearly may be more realistic."

Population projections prepared for the World Bank in 1989-1990 are presented for Sub-Saharan Africa. "The majority of populations in the...region are growing rapidly. In some countries, where the average woman continues to have seven or more births, growth is as rapid as 4 percent a year. The population of the region as a whole is likely to double in slightly more than two decades, and slightly more than two decades after that, the region will be contributing more to annual world population growth than the far larger Asia region."

Population projections prepared for the World Bank in 1989-1990 are presented for Asia. "Population growth is slowing for Asia, though quite unevenly across subregions. Three of the five Asia departments are growing at 1.4 percent annually, China is growing at 1.0 percent, and Other South Asia (excluding India) at 1.9 percent. The dependency burden is exceptionally variable across Asia. A country like Bangladesh has one dependent per person of working age (15-64). Nonborrower, economically vigorous economies like Singapore and Hong Kong have fewer than half as many."

Population projections prepared for the World Bank in 1989-1990 are presented for the Europe, Middle East, and Africa region (consisting of Western Asia, Eastern and Southern Europe, and Northern Africa). "Total fertility in the region, excluding its European part, is above five children per woman, and life expectancies are around 60 years. Replacement fertility, where the average woman only reproduces herself, will not be reached until the middle of the next century. About that time, the region will be contributing more to world population growth than the far larger Asia region."

Population projections prepared for the World Bank in 1989-1990 are presented for Latin America and the Caribbean. "Latin America and the Caribbean contributes 10 percent of annual world population growth, slightly above its 8 percent share of world population. Although demographically advanced, the region is growing faster than the Asia region. Previous high fertility, which continues in some countries, has left many young people and high population momentum: even if the young only reproduce themselves, their large numbers ensure that population will grow 60 percent."

The author reviews aspects of the ongoing debate between demographers and natural scientists over world population projections and methods for constructing them. "Underlying this debate is a disagreement over the factors which influence human population growth....Also at issue are different philosophies concerning the manipulation of data. The debate between demographers and natural scientists bears many of the features of a scientific revolution as described by Thomas Kuhn. The new theory also meets the criterion of scientific growth contained in the correspondence principle. The theories used by demographers and natural scientists have political implications, since the demographers assume stability whereas the natural scientists observe instability."

"This is the second of three projected modules of the first volume of a manual on projection methods for integrating population concerns into development planning, which is being prepared [by the United Nations]....Module Two describes methods for making projections on school enrolment, labour force and employment, which are part of a larger set of techniques described in the volume. These techniques can be used to make a series of interrelated projections of demographic and socio-economic variables for comprehensive planning that take into account key linkages between population and socio-economic change."

The author examines the question of the relative rate of growth of the Jewish and non-Jewish population of Israel, including the Occupied Territories. Using official Israeli data, he concludes that if present conditions continue, the non-Jewish population of Greater Israel will continue to grow more rapidly than the Jewish population and will constitute a majority of the population within 30 years.

Population trends in Luxembourg in 1988 are reviewed. Separate consideration is given to fertility, nuptiality and divorce, mortality, natural increase and migration, adoption, age and sex structure, and spatial distribution. Data are provided separately for the foreign resident population.

Factors affecting regional differences in population growth in the United States are explored. "In this study, we estimated the contributions of births, deaths, and migration to changes in population size between 1950 and 1980 for the 48 contiguous states in the United States. We found that population momentum (i.e., the growth that would occur in a closed population if fertility and mortality rates remained constant) had the largest effect on population growth in most states, but that differences in net migration were the major cause of state-to-state differences in growth rates. We also found that net migration has been gaining in importance compared to natural increase as a component of population growth. We expect this trend to continue in coming decades."
