This is
a summary of available data on population policy and vital statistics
by province in China, compiled by a research committee on the analysis
of population change in China set up at the Institute of Developing
Economies in Tokyo, Japan. The authors examine population change and
its determinants, evaluate China's vital statistics, and consider the
proximate determinants and socioeconomic factors affecting declining
fertility, mortality trends, internal migration, and family planning.
A selection of population maps, statistical figures, and statistical
tables is included. A final section presents population policy
regulations.

This is a

trends in the Canadian province of Quebec; the articles originally
appeared in a report put out by L'Action Nationale in 1988. The focus
is on the current demographic situation and its implications for the
province's future. The articles cover various aspects of the fertility
decline and how it might be reversed, the implications of demographic
aging, migration policy, and the language question. Particular
consideration is given to the policy options available to change
undesirable trends.

Demograficos [CEDEM]: Havana, Cuba. In Spa. with sum. in Eng; Rus.
This is an analysis of the demographic transition in Cuba, with
emphasis on demographic changes following the Cuban Revolution of 1959.
Three periods are distinguished: the neocolonial period, 1904-1934,
characterized by large-scale immigration; the period 1935-1958, during
which emigration exceeded immigration; and the postrevolutionary period
since 1959. This final period, which has also been a period of
out-migration, has seen the completion of the demographic transition,
with declines in fertility and mortality and increased life expectancy.
This period has also been marked by a homogenization of demographic
behavior and a decline in fertility and mortality
differentials.

Pyrenees: [Toulouse], France. In Fre.
This report is concerned with
population trends in the region of southwestern France that excludes
the coastal region bordering the Atlantic. The author notes that the
region's low fertility is compensated for by a positive migration
balance. A demographic imbalance in the region is caused by the
demographic vitality of Toulouse, the major city in the region, in
contrast to the trend toward depopulation in many rural areas. Changes
in family characteristics are noted, including more births outside
marriage and fewer large families.

This is a critical evaluation of a paper by P. N. M.
Bhat and S. I. Rajan that examined the demographic transition in
Kerala, India. "In this brief note, which need not be taken as a
complete critique, we argue that the empirical evidence and the results
of statistical analysis presented in the paper are inadequate to draw
such drastic conclusions....The numbers presented and then derived by
the authors may be very precise but do not fully represent the ideas
that the authors have attributed to them."

"In this paper, the results of a study published in 1963 which
related to three parishes in the south of [Saint Domingue, Haiti] are
corrected. It also contains additional observations on 11 further
parishes. Men tended to marry late in life, especially those born in
France....Women's age at marriage increased throughout the eighteenth
century....Only rough estimates of birth rates could be obtained, as
not all children were baptised immediately after birth. However,
contrary to opinions at the time, birth rates appear to have been
relatively high. It is not possible to check mortality of adults, as
not all deaths were recorded. However, infant mortality rates seemed
to be somewhat lower than in contemporary France. This was probably
due to the relatively high standard of education of the white
population."

1963, see 29:4038.

The author
describes the rapid population growth that has occurred in Viet Nam
since the country's reunification in 1976 and the measures adopted by
the government to try to slow this rate of growth. The author
concludes that vigorous family planning efforts have had some impact on
the urban population but no discernable effect in rural areas, where
some 80 percent of the population lives. Population continues to grow
rapidly and economic conditions continue to
deteriorate.
