"This study is concerned with population growth and structure of
the Arab villages in the West Bank, and attempts to compare the
situation in the villages with that of the West Bank population as a
whole and to identify significant differences between the various
administrative divisions. The data used in this study are from the
personal survey carried out by the author in 1987, and the published
data from different sources, Jordanian, Israeli, Palestinian and
others. Part one examines the general characteristics of the Arab
villages of the West Bank, the housing conditions and the household
structure. Part two concentrates on population growth....Part three is
concerned with population structure, including the differential of age
and sex structure, the median age, the aged/child ratio and the crude
dependency ratio [and marriage patterns]....Finally, this part deals
with the economic composition of the population."

second, the distribution of population and internal migration; third,
the changing age structure and its broad economic implications; fourth,
a consideration of fertility rates that are below the level needed for
population replacement; fifth, excess mortality; and sixth, the
implementation of a pro-natalist population policy in response to a low

Jul 1990. 60 pp. Joseph Rowntree Foundation: York, England. In Eng.
Current population trends in the United Kingdom are analyzed. The
focus of the report is on the implications of below replacement-level
fertility and of demographic aging. "It begins by examining recent
trends in the birth rate, the family and mortality, putting these in
the context of developments in other industrialised countries. On the
basis of this examination, the most plausible assumptions about future
fertility and mortality rates are chosen as the foundation for
projections of the population's age distribution over the next 40
years. The remainder of this Report examines implications for
education; for various aspects of people's working lives, including the
pay of different age groups and generations, the structure of jobs and
labour productivity; for households and the housing market; for
pressures on health and personal social services; and for transfers of
resources between generations, through state pensions and private
provision. A concluding section considers whether population policies
are needed, or indeed feasible, and what other policies can make it
easier to adjust to changes in the structure of the
population."

"When the two Germanies were reunited in
1990, 16 million East Germans were added to the West German population,
giving it a 20 million person advantage over Italy, France, and the
United Kingdom. This...[article] traces the history of German
population growth from the 1870s through World War II and up to the
present. The authors examine the demographic trends of the new Germany
and the prospects for future growth. Until 1990, marriage, fertility,
and mortality followed different paths in the two countries. The
wealthier West German women delayed marriage and childbearing, for
example, and West German men lived longer than East German men. But
these differences may reflect the pronatalist policies, repressive
politics, and sagging economy of the former German Democratic Republic.
Unification may eliminate many of these differences." The authors
address the demographic impact of migration to Germany, migration
policy, and the assimilation of migrants. Consideration is also given
to demographic aging and long-term population
decline.

"The paper gives a first

focuses on regional divergences in population density, age structure,
sex ratio, nuptiality, fertility, mortality and natural population
growth. The paper then presents data to demonstrate that the (future?)
German capital, Berlin, is located far away from the demographic center
of the united Germany in a sparsely populated area. To estimate the
consequences of the unification for population distribution, the paper
calculates the demographic gravity centers of the FRG, the GDR, and the
united Germany. Finally, a locational profile of selected German
cities (including Frankfurt and Berlin) is calculated to determine
their demographic centrality."

"This paper studies regional and temporal variation in age at

data...[were] obtained from the 1970 and 1981 demographic surveys
conducted by the Central Statistics Office of Ethiopia....The results
show that the mean age at marriage had increased between 1970 and 1981.
However, this did not seem to have any effect on fertility
reduction....There was no evidence of voluntary fertility control among
women of childbearing age. This is because the observed total fertility
was not significantly different from [the] natural fertility rate.
Even though there is reduction in child mortality between 1970 and
1981, the rate is still quite high. The rate of population growth was
found to be higher in the Southern regions when compared with the
North. This is consistent with the fertility
findings."

An analysis of
demographic developments in Poland since around 1970 is presented, with
the emphasis on the characteristics that are peculiar to Poland. These
include an increase in fertility since 1970, increased adult mortality,
and stagnating life expectancy at birth. A framework for analyzing
these trends is presented which involves two main groups of mortality
determinants, health hazards (environmental and behavioral) and health
promotion (including legislation, education, and health services). The
author concludes that Polish demographic trends are the result of a
complex combination of factors, rather than due to any one primary
factor.
