"Because the Government of Myanmar (formerly known as Burma) considers the country under-populated, it has not adopted a family planning programme. However, recent data show that, while fertility remains high, there has been some decline since the mid-1970s. Since the mid-1950s, mortality has gradually declined, but the decline seems to have slowed down in recent years. This article concludes that it is necessary to slow population growth by controlling fertility in order to achieve economic and social development."

The author discusses Hong Kong's current and predicted demographic trends in light of the impending 1997 transfer of sovereignty to China. He concludes that "the uncertainty in the territory over the transfer of sovereignty may be accentuating existing trends but it is not creating an entirely new demographic cast. Hong Kong is an integral part of regional and global patterns, a node in the international system of population interchange and part of regional fertility declines. Its fertility decline reflects its economic development and its migration integrates it firmly into the Asia-Pacific region." Issues analyzed include emigration and the brain drain, immigration and the resultant lowering of wages, the fertility decline, regional fertility patterns, current and future population policies, the refugee problem, and temporary international commuting by workers into China.
