population have been considered as an integral part of
post-Revolutionary development. Thus, a specific separate population

The impact on fertility of pro-natalist measures
adopted in Hungary since the 1950s is assessed. The author states that
although measures prohibiting or restricting induced abortion in 1953
and 1974 had no measurable effect on completed fertility, the
pro-natalist measures providing social benefits to families with
children that were introduced in the mid-1960s resulted in modest
increases in fertility. However, these increases were canceled out by
the effect of social changes, such as higher levels of female
education, which tended to lower fertility.

"This paper examines the relationship between a number of
government programs and the total fertility rate [in Canada]. Using a
simple time series model, which explicitly considers the labour market
behaviour of women, we find that government programs which implicitly
alter the costs of having a child have a small, but positive, impact on
fertility. The results suggest that during the 1980s, a one per cent
increase in the real value of Unemployment Insurance maternity benefits
would result in an increase in the total fertility rate of between 0.09
and 0.26 per cent. The paper is timely in view of the recent
pro-natalist policies introduced by the Quebec
government."

large population constitutes an important human resource to create a
larger consumer base with increasing purchasing power to generate and
support industrial growth through productive exploitation of national
resources....This study analyses the fertility preferences of married
women who responded to questions regarding the new population
policy...and identifies the socioeconomic and demographic
characteristics of women who are likely to increase their fertility
demands as a result of the population policy. The responses will be
discussed in the light of current fertility trends, with emphasis on
the Malays who constitute 55.3% of the population of Peninsular
Malaysia...."

Environment, Vol. 12, No. 4, Summer 1991. 389-406 pp. New York, New

The author presents an overview of population control
policies in China. "Since the 1949 revolution, Chinese population
policy has undergone many shifts that have alternated with general
political trends. However, in the past two decades the policy has grown
increasingly antinatalist as a response to slower-than-desired economic
development and rapid population growth. The remarkable declines of
fertility during this period have been made possible by effective
contraceptive technology, efficient administration, tight political
organization down to grass-roots levels, and by linking national goals
of population control to patriotism. Recent minor reverses in policy
and in fertility [suggest] that there are practical limits to such
policies, but other countries have much to learn from the Chinese
experience."

"In an effort to
control the dramatic growth of its population, China has adopted a
family planning policy that is characterized by its dynamic control
over fertility rates through the regulation of parity ratios. Owing to
such practices, coupled with dramatic economic growth, family planning
efforts in China have made universally acknowledged achievements within
a relatively brief period of time. The present article concerns only
quantitative analysis of the regulatory mechanisms of China's family
planning policy in controlling parity ratios in China, as a tentative
appraisal of the effects of government policies on the control of
population growth."

experiments that examine changes in migrant behavior before and after
IRCA's passage in 1986. We estimate trends in the probability of
taking a first illegal trip, the probability of repeat migration, the
probability of apprehension by the Border Patrol, the probability of
using a border smuggler, the length of U.S. trips, and the costs of
illegal border-crossing. In none of these analyses could we detect any
evidence that IRCA has significantly deterred undocumented migration

devised any development-assistance policy with the explicit intent of
cutting down emigration from these countries? And would such a policy,
