The effect of antiabortion efforts in the United States on world
population programs is discussed. Citing the conservative movement's
attack on U.S. funding for overseas programs promoting contraceptive
use, the author concludes that "by limiting the level of American
support for other kinds of birth control, they limited the overall
supply of contraceptive services; they thus increased the number of
pregnant women eager to avoid childbirth and so enlarged the number
resorting to abortion."

"This book
investigates the origins, implementation, and impact of the American
effort--both private and government--to regulate fertility and thus to
slow population growth throughout the developing world." U.S. economic
interests in lowering fertility are examined and consideration is given
to the people who implement U.S. policies and programs. "In assessing
American involvement in efforts to lower developing country birth
rates, [the author] examines both the American desire to provide a
pragmatic solution to a perceived crisis and the nation's willingness
to intervene in the family life of couples around the world. He argues
that the United States' international family planning policy
exemplifies the value Americans place on self-improvement,
self-determination, and the control of one's environment. At the same
time, population-related foreign assistance served the economic and
strategic interests of the United States. Regardless of their motives,
however, American population specialists and the people and
institutions they supported overseas started a contraceptive revolution
that has dramatically reduced birth rates in developing countries and
has given women throughout the Third World more control over their
reproductive lives."

decades and this decline will be exacerbated if African States do not
seriously address population issues." He notes that several countries
have initiated and implemented population programs, and focuses on
Zimbabwe's efforts to reduce population growth, reporting that
contraceptive use has risen from 14 percent in 1982 to 43 percent in
1988.

"On the basis of the existing literature we examined the
points at which social security and family demography meet. The main
conclusions are: (1) child allowances will only affect fertility if the
level of benefit is rather substantial; (2) unemployment provisions may
affect fertility; (3) remarriage frequency is probably affected by
public assistance benefits; (4) the same possibly holds for the divorce
frequency. These conclusions are tentative: the results are
contradictory from many viewpoints, some fields have hardly been
investigated and it is unclear whether the effects are temporary or
lasting." The geographical focus is on developed
countries.

(3) How can the U.S. assist developing nations that wish to lower
fertility and slow population growth?" The authors emphasize the
importance of slowing population growth by reducing family size,
focusing on rural populations, supporting agricultural production and
technology, improving the status of women and providing access to

Pronatalist programs and their effects in Europe
are reviewed from the 1930s to the present, with individual attention
given to France, West Germany, and Romania. The author finds that
"where there are low levels of fertility, pronatalist incentives result
primarily in accelerating the birth of the second child to an earlier
time, especially among younger couples. Average completed family size
tends to change little, with usually only a slight increase in the
proportion of women giving birth to a third
child."

The authors examine the impact of a

and their fertility in the Netherlands. "It is expected that the
so-called '1990-measure'--that is the abolishment of extra social
security benefits for breadwinners with a dependent partner who reaches
the age of 18 in or after 1990--will especially affect women with lower
levels of education. Given the fact that the '1990-measure' is not
applicable to households with children under the age of 13, it is
possible that as a reaction to this measure lower educated women [will]
decide not to join the labour force but to have children
instead."

personnel to assert that the country is not seriously pursuing a
national one-child policy at the current time. Instead, a variety of
different policies are being developed around the country, ranging from
a one-child policy in urban areas to three- or four-child policies in
certain rural areas. In Part 1, the author describes regional
differences in population policy. In Part 2, the author focuses on the
reliability of the available data required to evaluate the
effectiveness of population policy. It is concluded that changing
patterns of social behavior, including earlier marriage and
childbearing, contributed to rising birth rates in the
1980s.

"The comprehensive and strong fertility policy [of Singapore],
coupled with rapid social and economic development, has resulted in the
spectacular decline in fertility from the high level in 1957 to the
replacement level in 1975, and below this level until the present....It
was not until 1987 that changes to the national fertility policy were
made, relaxing some of the old anti-natalist measures and introducing a
few pro-natalist measures. Whilst the development of the national
fertility policy has been fully presented in earlier publications, this
occasional paper will be devoted to a detailed discussion of the major
changes introduced in 1984 and 1987." The main purpose of these
fertility policy changes was "to benefit, financially or otherwise,
couples producing their third child and, to some extent, their fourth
child. Some of the changes have been linked to the educational
attainment of the mothers or parents, and are therefore also meant,
allegedly, to improve the quality of the

80's were characterised by a much slower decline, apparently little
affected by the change in population policy stemming from government
concern at the rapidity of the fall in fertility....In 1987, with the
government's change in population policy, it relaxed its control on
applications for sterilization reversal: where the woman has two or
fewer children, the sterilized partner can have a reversal attempted in

"The largest rural
resettlement program in the world today--transmigration in
Indonesia--began for demographic reasons at the turn of the century,
and was then referred to as 'colonisation'. In post-independence
years, it soon became apparent that the program should go beyond
organised population movement and assume the broader purposes of
national security, regional development and improved livelihood for
farmers who either were landless, wanted to own more land, were keen to
work as contract labourers at plantation sites, or had lost their lands
through natural disasters or major construction works. Wonogiri's
sponsored Bedol Desa program belongs to the last category and lasted
from 1976 to 1981. This article examines the motivations and

The authors review major
points in the policy debate over immigration in West Germany since the
1973 recruitment stop legislation. Special emphasis is placed on the
labor force effects of migration to West Germany and their impact on
migration policy. The authors find that "government immigration policy
since 1973 has embraced three contradictory goals: reduce the influx
of foreigners, integrate those who intend to settle in West Germany,
and encourage the return of migrants who are inclined to leave. The
internal contradictions between these policy goals have prevented them
from being fulfilled and thereby have generated considerable
frustration."

"Agriculture was a major stumbling block to immigration reform [in

describes the Special Agricultural Worker or SAW legalization program
that generated 700,000 applications in California and the hypothetical
calculations required to determine whether Replenishment Agricultural

The paper concludes that immigration reform did not resolve the
century-old debate over agriculture's 'need' for alien workers;
instead, SAWs and RAWs have contributed to the harvest of confusion on
farm labor."
