"The present document was prepared by the members of
the 'European Population Committee', the Council of Europe's
intergovernmental body entrusted with demographic matters (CDPO).
National reports and data from the member states served as background
documents for an exchange of views on recent demographic developments
at the CDPO's 9th plenary meeting in June 1989...[and were compiled
into this] volume of up-to-date demographic data....The reports
submitted by member states are in two parts: the first is a short
descriptive text in which each country comments selectively on aspects
of demographic changes which seem to be of particular importance. The
second part consists of a set of tables of demographic data from
national statistics, which were completed as far as the availability of
data in the different countries permits." Tables in English and French
include data on population age structure and density, dependency ratios
and demographic aging, changes in population size, first marriage rate
and divorce rate, birth rate, total fertility rate and net reproduction
rate, age at childbirth and first marriage, death rate, infant
mortality, and life expectancy.
