The impact of both present and future demographic trends on social change among generations is explored for the Netherlands. The author compares cohorts born in the time periods 1910-1930, 1930-1940, 1940-1954, and 1955-1970. A distinction is made between the impact of social consequences of change on behavior of cohorts regarding their life course, and on societal contracts under the political system of the Netherlands. Areas of comparison include education; employment, careers, and retirement; income and pension rights; value orientations; and migration. A comment is included by Kees C. P. M. Knipscheer (pp. 119-25).

"This study analyzes the slow development and the practical organization of retirement systems. It consists of three comparisons: (a) between nations (Germany, France, Great Britain, the United States), (b) between socio-occupational groups (civil servants, miners, executives, etc.) and (c) between periods (from approximately 1850 to 1960, in part up to 1985). The comparison of successive programmes, retirement age (legal and actual), pension levels, and activity rates among elderly men, has led to unexpected findings. In particular, a parallel between trends in the four countries has made it possible to put Bismarck's social policies into perspective. Furthermore, it was only after 1945 that social security systems could ensure a work-free old age for the vast majority of the population. Retirement age has always been strongly influenced by the incidence of invalidity and by conditions on the labour market."

In Ger. with sum. in Eng.
A model is developed to show the impact of declining fertility on the statutory pension insurance fund of West Germany. The author suggests that the problem is not so much a question of an increase in the number of the aged drawing out of rather than contributing to the fund, but of a trend in the dependent population from the young to the elderly. He concludes that provision for old age through individual saving, on a fully-funded basis, is only possible to a limited extent, and that the necessary balancing adjustments can only be made in an overall system of social security into which the statutory pension insurance fund is fully integrated.

"Taking the case of Cyprus, the authors examine the likely implications for social expenditure, under various scenarios of benefit and cost increases, of projected population changes up to the year 2020. The increased expenditure resulting solely from demographic changes could be easily absorbed if unit costs remain unchanged or rise no faster than overall productivity, but not if recent rapid increases in unit costs and in services continue."

"How do processual inputs of cohort nuptiality, fertility, and mortality become translated into consequences, for women's life course in twentieth century Brazil? How are they related to observed family arrangements? These are the key questions which are addressed in this study through fertility and nuptiality histories of Brazilian women aged 15-54 in 1984....This study is concerned with women's life course over their own lives and through historical time and in relation to other members of their families. Comparison of the life-course patterns experienced by various birth cohorts in twentieth century Brazil show that women born in more recent decades spend more time in diverse family roles. The interaction among the demographic components in producing certain types and sizes of families is another important result. The relationship between fertility and mortality in changing family structure is demonstrated and marital disruption emerges as an important component of the decline in family size and the growing number of female headed families."

"Increment-decrement working life tables for 1972 and 1980 are used to assess the relative impact of recent changes in mortality and labor force behavior on the number of years older men and women can expect to spend out of the labor force (nonworking life expectancy). The life tables are based on data from the [U.S.] Current Population Surveys and pertain to the population aged 55 and older for the observation points. The results indicate that nonworking life expectancy increased dramatically between 1972 and 1980 for both men and women. Although labor force behavior changed markedly for both population groups during the observation period, the results clearly identify that changes in mortality were responsible for the increases in nonworking life expectancy. Implications of the findings for social policy are briefly discussed."

The implications of the changing population structure in Poland are examined, particularly as they concern social needs. The author points out that the existing age structure already defines much of social policy for the next generation. The need to develop an effective population policy to ensure population replacement is stressed. Such a policy might concentrate on improving the well-being of families with two children.

"This paper sketches the outlines of a broader, more socially informed way of conceptualizing the effects of the political environment on population policies and programs. A theoretical section clarifies the meaning of strong and weak societies and states and outlines some of the mechanisms by which societies leave their imprint on the population policies and programs of the state. Turning to China...the paper reassesses the strength of the state in light of recent political science research on rural sociopolitical structure. Drawing on both field research and articles in the national media, it explores the impact of Chinese society on the goals, content, implementation, and outcomes of the one-child policy and the birth control program. A conclusion suggests the need to qualify some hypotheses guiding current political demographic research and teases out some implications of the state-society approach for the 'soft-soft' states of sub-Saharan Africa."

This article, translated from the original Hebrew, considers the demographic aspects of the PLO-Israeli struggle. The author notes the growing awareness by the PLO that demographic trends are strengthening the Palestinian cause over time. However, those within the PLO are also aware of the possibility that such trends may influence Israel to take specific steps to defuse the population situation by such actions as the expulsion of the Arab population from the territories it controls.

Population Council Research Division Working Paper, No. 22, 1990. 35 pp. Population Council, Research Division: New York, New York. In Eng.
"In order to more accurately capture the process of disease transmission in LDCs, we have developed a model that incorporates both the demographic and the epidemiologic structure of the population. The model contains two submodels: a demographic submodel that describes the distribution of individuals among different ages, and an epidemiologic submodel that describes the distribution of individuals at each age among epidemiologic classes. Because the model has complete demographic and epidemiologic structure, it yields more detailed, and hopefully more accurate, predictions of the mortality impact of an immunization program within a particular demographic setting than does the standard model....When demographic and epidemiologic parameters describing conditions in LDCs are employed in the model, the predictions are in close agreement with observed demographic and epidemiologic patterns in developing countries....We use a simulation version of our demographic-epidemiologic model to explore issues in immunization program policy relevant to LDCs."

"To establish whether medical science has managed to ensure quality of life during the additional years of life now available in many populations requires a relatively complex interactive model of morbidity and mortality. The development of such a model has been the prime objective of this paper. For the model we describe, formulae were derived which allow a health scientist to explain the contributions, by age, of different diseases to changes in life expectancy in healthy or less than healthy states, and for a particular disease, the contribution of disease prevention, successful disease treatment (leading to recovery) and mortality prevention. Such an analysis can be very helpful for health policy purposes. Formulae were also developed for studying trends in life expectancy differentials in terms of changes in rates of disease prevention, disease treatment success and mortality prevention."

The author examines recent trends in mortality and morbidity in Japan, the United States, Great Britain, and Hungary. "In the first three countries, where death rates have declined, the proportion of people reporting health problems and restricting ordinary activities because of health has increased. In Hungary death rates have increased and the proportion of people reporting chronic illness has decreased. Some explanations for the increase in sickness rates refer to subjective changes in the evaluation of health experience that show up as a lower threshold for distinguishing health from ill health. Other explanations--prolongation of the average course of maladies, insult substitution, and the effects of mortality decline--refer to objective factors accounting for additional time spent in ill health. The article reviews arguments offered for each explanation and stresses the role of objective factors in increasing sickness time."

The usefulness of healthy life expectancy as a global indicator of changes in a population's health is evaluated based on a review of the published literature from Europe and North America. "Over the past decade the average healthy life expectancy was 60 years for men and 64 for women....At the age of 65 men could expect eight years of disability free life and women 10, with the life expectancy being respectively 14 and 19 years." The results suggest that disparities in health are greater among social groups than between sexes.
