The author discusses the loss of population that occurred in the
Soviet Union during collectivization and famine in the period 1930-1938
and, to a certain degree, during the Civil War and World War II. The
loss of population due to Stalin's purges is not
discussed.

The author traces the demographic
development of Egypt from 1800 to 1900. He critically evaluates the
census data from that period, develops population estimates and growth
rates, and discusses demographic patterns for each half of the century.
The demographic transition is described, with references to the
eradication of the plague and smallpox and to the formation of new
urban centers. The effect of European settlement is also
discussed.

collapse in the Basin of Mexico. Annals of the Association of

D.C. In Eng.
A system dynamics computer simulation is applied to an
analysis of the population dynamics of the Mexican Basin in the
sixteenth century. The model simulates the demographic response of the
Amerindian population to the web of causal factors that affected it,
including its demographic, epidemiological, cultural, social, and
economic aspects. "The results of these simulations indicate that:
(1) a very large depopulation was possible given reasonable assumptions
as to cause; (2) the overall scale of depopulation was profound--nearly
90 percent over the course of 100 years--from [a population of] more
than 1.5 million in 1519 to [one of] less than 200,000 by 1610; (3) the
temporal pattern of depopulation formed an irregular, step-like pattern
and most of the population loss occurred in the first fifty years of
Spanish occupance; (4) this decline was primarily due to a series of
'virgin soil' epidemic crises, although famine was also important; and
(5) there is no need to presume an Amerindian population genetically
less able to resist disease, nor is it necessary to presume Spanish
cruelty to explain this holocaust."

"We describe a methodology for estimating the
accuracy of dual systems estimates (DSE's) of population, census
estimates of population, and estimates of undercount in the census.
The DSE's are based on the census and a post-enumeration survey (PES).
We apply the methodology to the 1988 dress rehearsal census of St.
Louis and east-central Missouri and we discuss its applicability to the
1990 [U.S.] census and PES. The methodology is based on decompositions
of the total (or net) error into components, such as sampling error,
matching error, and other nonsampling errors. Limited information
about the accuracy of certain components of error, notably failure of
assumptions in the 'capture-recapture' model, but others as well, lead
us to offer tentative estimates of the errors of the census, DSE, and
undercount estimates for 1988. Improved estimates are anticipated for
1990."

applying a truncated Poisson distribution one can easily obtain
projections of the household size. The results are surprisingly good
compared with the standard methods for forecasting household size...and
one may profit by using the parameter of the distribution for the
projection instead of estimating every percentage of each household
class....For projecting the development of the German private
households the appropriate distribution is chosen with analytical
methods out of the class of Poisson distributions and negative binomial
distributions....The results will be compared with projections obtained
by the headship rate method as well as with those achieved by studies
using micro-analytical or macro-analytical
[approaches]."

An evaluation of the
accuracy of the seven national population forecasts produced by the
Netherlands Central Bureau of Statistics during the 1980s is presented.
"Compared with the eight national forecasts made in the preceding
three decades those of the 1980s were more successful. The number of
live births in particular was forecasted better in the last decade.
Regarding fertility of subsequent generations of women it was rightly
assumed that: the numbers of children would decrease, [and] the ages
at which women have their children would increase. Other assumptions
made during the 1980s that turned out to be right were: increasing
life expectancy at birth with a stable difference of about 6.5 years
between the expectations for men and those for women, [and] continuing
net immigration into the Netherlands."

"Because of the uncertainty of population forecasts the Netherlands
Central Bureau of Statistics publishes a Low and a High variant next to
the Medium variant....Variants are obtained by using a deterministic
model. Hence the probability that the interval between the variants
[covers] the true future values is unknown. Under reasonable
assumptions a statistical confidence interval for total population size
can be derived. The basic assumption is that the forecast errors of
population growth are serially correlated. If a first-order
autoregressive model is estimated on the basis of all population
forecasts published...since 1950, it turns out that the interval
between the Low and High variants corresponds reasonably close to a
two-thirds confidence interval in the next two
decades."
