examine the implications of current demographic trends, the importance
of demographic factors for the U.S. population, the economic and social
implications of demographic change, and political and institutional
implications of demographic change. "The purpose of this volume is to
examine both the growing stresses and the opportunities for action, and
to consider their policy implications."

This article examines current demographic trends in the USSR, with
a focus on ethnic diversity. It "examines official Soviet statistics
for the period 1959 to 1989 to illustrate some of the risks in
describing Soviet demographic behavior. Is fertility in the Soviet
Union high or low? Answer: both. Is the Soviet population growing
rapidly or slowly? Answer: both. The changing ethnic composition of
the population of the USSR as a whole reflects large differences in
growth rates of ethnic groups; the changing composition of the USSR by
region also reflects differences in migration by ethnic
group."

Peterborough, Canada. In Fre. with sum. in Eng.
The author reviews
recent demographic trends in the Canadian province of Quebec and notes
that, although mortality and fertility are both down to record levels,
the province has a positive migration balance. "A decrease in total
population is a possibility, but it could be more or less important
depending on the level at which fertility stabilizes. Age structure
will be modified substantially: up to two aged for one young, in one
of the scenarios, instead of a ratio of two young for one aged, as is
the case now. Without any doubt, labour force growth will be changed,
since the increase in participation rates could not compensate the
preponderant impact of the demographic factor for over a very long
period of time. While there are more and more concerns over the
long-term effects of low fertility, increased immigration seems to be
favoured, at least for the time being."

suggests that demography's relatively privileged status over the past
decade stems principally from its focus upon the information needed to
formulate the country's population control
policies.

Publications: Newbury Park, California/London, England. In Eng.
"The Matlab subdistrict of Bangladesh is unique in the developing
world in the extent of demographic data available over a long time
period, during which a serious famine occurred and a family planning
program that employed village women as home visitors was introduced
within the context of maternal and child health services. These data
demonstrate that fertility in this population is well below the maximum
biologically feasible, primarily due to the long and intense
breast-feeding practiced, that seasonality of births is pronounced, and
that fertility drops in response to drastic food shortage. Sex
differences in mortality favor males, but during famine the disparity
was reduced. Despite arguments that family planning programs are
ineffective and use resources that could be applied in areas more
relevant to development, the Matlab family planning program has led to
both reduced fertility and reduced mortality and may be changing the
status and roles of women."

"During the twentieth
century the population of Latin America has undergone three momentous
shifts. One of these affected mortality, and the other two involved
marital and general fertility. Different countries, however,
experienced these shifts at different times and with different
intensities. As a consequence, the patterns of population growth are
very diverse and difficult to classify. In this article an attempt is
made to construct a typology of population trends in Latin America by
identifying similarities and differences in the levels, patterns, and
changes of fertility and mortality. The typology is used to review the
most important macro and micro determinants of the observed population
trends."

mortality rates since 1969. In the second part, we define three
scenarios of future fertility and mortality trends (with some
assumptions on migration) based on the alternatives of convergence or
continued diversity in fertility and mortality. Finally, we discuss
the impact of these scenarios on the future distribution of the Soviet
population until the year 2050."

development, they do pose a major obstacle to successful future
development.
