France in 1988. The data are divided into sections on population,
including vital statistics, growth rates, total population, age and sex
distribution, and marital status; marriage; divorce; recognition of
illegitimate children; births; abortions; deaths; monthly data; and
migration. A selection of data are presented by department and region,
in addition to some international data. Appendixes describe the French
vital statistics system and the methodology used to calculate the major

This is an exploratory analysis
of seasonal variations in fertility, mortality, and marriage in Taiwan
from 1906 to 1943 based on data from Japanese colonial records,
primarily household registers. Comparisons are made with Japan and
China. The results indicate that "the seasonality of vital events is a
curious mix of custom, conscious planning and natural
cycles."

The hypothesis is developed that the
concentration of population in the mountains of Morocco is due to the
existence of considerable resources in the region, and not because of
its attraction as a place of refuge. The need to include the mountain

"Many competing
hypotheses about Kerala's demographic transition have flourished and
remained untested for long. This article undertakes a thorough review
of demographic trends in Kerala by a careful scrutiny of evidence
presented by various data sources. By employing a quantitative
approach and using data for districts in and around Kerala, the authors
test some of the hypotheses put forward to explain the shift in levels
of birth and death rates. The article also briefly discusses the
implications of the current declines for the future of the Kerala
economy and assesses the prospects for a similar change elsewhere in
India." The results indicate that "female literacy emerges...as the
single most important factor in explaining the demographic transition
in Kerala."

A
comparative analysis of population dynamics in East and West Germany
since the end of World War II is presented. The author notes that
immediately after the war, East Germany lost population through
migration, whereas West Germany had to absorb large numbers of
immigrants, primarily refugees from the East. Both states experienced
significant fertility declines during the 1960s but chose different
ways to cope: East Germany by developing a pro-natalist family policy
and West Germany by encouraging
immigration.

policies and a change in the attitude of the Catholic church toward
demographic issues.

"This study has used data from two national postwar censuses, taken
in 1973 and 1983, and an appropriate set of modern demographic
estimation techniques to assess Burma's [Myanmar] contemporary
demographic features at national and regional levels. Specifically, it
has derived plausible and consistent estimates of fertility levels and
trends; infant, child, and general mortality; life expectancy at birth;
singulate mean age at marriage; and the degree of fertility control
practiced by Burmese couples. The results indicate that the [country]
achieved a remarkable decline in mortality, particularly of child
mortality, in a short span of time. In contrast, an apparent fertility
decline, suggested by a marginal fall in the proportion under 10 years
of age observed in the 1983 census age distribution, is
spurious....There is no basis for assuming a change in the reproductive
behavior of couples....Burma's highlands have low population density
and low growth rates, whereas the lowlands have high population density
and high growth rates. This regional demographic pattern is likely to
persist in the absence of speedy economic and technological development
and the extension of public health and medical services to all rural
areas."
