Pronatalist policies, migration policies,
and policies affecting labor force participation are examined for their
potential impact on future trends of below-replacement fertility and
demographic aging in developed countries. The author concludes that
"noncoercive pronatalist policy measures consisting of social benefits,
plus a liberal immigration policy, plus policies aiming at the growth
of participation rates of women and of the elderly will be needed to
face the challenge of the present demographic trends of the advanced
societies."

law; the relative responsibility of private individuals and the larger
society for enforcing values; and the ways in which the law intervenes

Population policies in Asia are discussed, with a
focus on their effect on fertility rates and their interrelationship
with development planning. In considering the future impact of Asian
population policies, the author concludes that socioeconomic
development will result in lower birth rates and notes the importance
of access to family planning services and careful allocation of
resources in achieving this goal. The protection of individual rights
and improvements in women's status are also linked to successful policy
outcomes.

growth and development; and cooperation in international efforts

each of these activities in the Bank's efforts to highlight and give
priority to population issues and to help member countries develop

the greatest impact on promoting and facilitating policy development

"Dozens of countries across the world have established programs to
control population growth....The methods used include voluntary family
planning services; education and persuasion; financial incentives and
disincentives; pressures on individuals, couples, or communities; and
forced sterilization or abortion. This chapter addresses the ethics of
these deliberate attempts to modify human fertility." The author
concludes that "three steps can be taken to develop a workable ethics
of population control. One is for countries using heavy pressures or
coercion to offer an explicit ethical rationale for their
practices....A second helpful step would be for donor agencies,
particularly the World Bank and the United Nations Population Fund
(UNFPA), to issue ethical guidelines for work in the family planning
programs they help to finance....Third, it is now time for an
international code of ethics covering the implementation of population
programs. Its standards should be drafted by a body that is not
subject to pressures from countries with a record of ethical abuses or
international donors who support their
programs."

"This report describes the participation in the one-child

other minorities are exempt from China's strict one-child family
policy, by pledging not to have more than one child they receive the
one-child incentives....The level of acceptance of the one-child
certificate among Korean couples is only about 10 percent of those who
currently have one child--one-fourth of the 1982 national figure.
Life-table analysis indicates that fewer than 9 percent of Korean women
would accept the certificate within a six-year period after their first
birth. In the meantime, a second child would be born to 60 percent of
the women. Among eight factors considered, three--place of residence,
occupation of husband, and sex of the living child--significantly
affected the rate of acceptance of the certificate, according to the
hazards model."

country's economy in the twenty-first century. Relaxation of birth
control policies and immigration laws offers hope that this problem
will be averted."

"This article discusses the objectives of legislation enacted
in 1980 that incorporated into U.S. law the international definition of
a refugee. It examines the political climate that existed when the
legislation was debated and how sudden, unforseen events affected the
implementation of the new law. Particular attention is directed at
understanding the difficulty the U.S. has experienced in achieving a
nationality-neutral refugee program and in establishing a political
asylum system that is fair but resistant to
abuse."

The author discusses the migrant
legalization policy enacted in the United States in 1986 and the
abilities of individual states to control illegal migration. "After
analyzing the political-legislative context which gave rise to this
multifaceted but circumscribed legalization policy, the characteristics
of the illegal population that applied for legal status are presented."
A comparison is made with similar legislation passed in France during
1981-1982, and the sociological consequences of illegal migration
experienced by both countries are
described.

"The differences between
management and structural emigration policies are illustrated....The
major, but not exclusive concern in this chapter will be with
'structural' emigration policies. The main purpose is to present a
broad review of policy choices made by labour-exporting countries of
the Arab world and to illustrate the gap between policy articulation
and policy implementation. The second half of the chapter presents
detailed and contrasting case studies of labour emigration policy:
Algeria and Jordan."
