"This paper evaluates statistically and displays
cartographically previously untabulated and unpublished data from the
1971 Census of India for the entire population of Delhi. Data pertain
to Delhi's census 'charges' (wards) and were originally tabulated in
the form of 348 variables relating to occupational distribution,
migration, and non-worker status--each classified separately by gender.
Although these data are subject to multiple reporting errors and
fallacious ecological inferences, they constitute the largest database
yet assembled for comparative analysis of Indian intra-metropolitan
patterns and structures. Socio-demographic patterns and areas are
identified reflecting the traditional-modern, formal-informal,
familistic, and ethnic constituents of the national capital of
India."

this paper examines the changes in the functional age groups of the
population of Indonesia from 1971 to the year 2005, and the
implications of these changes for education, labour force
participation, dependency ratios and fertility. Data for the period
1971 to 1985 are based on actual enumerations, while those for the
period 1990 to 2005 are based on projections. Although the provisional
totals of the 1990 Census had been released before the publication of
this paper, their breakdown by age was still not available. The
functional age categories discussed in the paper include the pre-school
years, the primary and intermediate school ages, the teenage years, the
reproductive ages of women, the principal working ages and the
post-work years. It concludes with a discussion of various policy and
planning implications of these changes."

generally smoke small quantities of cigarettes. And Blacks are as

"This article addresses conceptual,
methodological, and practical issues that arise in the investigation of
the effect of the sex ratio on marriage and family formation in
comparative research. Using census data for the black populations of
U.S. metropolitan areas, the study examines the relationships of
several measures of the sex ratio to each other and to various
indicators of family formation and family structure. Analysis indicates
that different measures of the sex ratio are often only moderately
correlated with each other and thus often have quite different
correlations with measures of family formation and structure. When
measures of the sex ratio are properly formulated, they have strong
associations with marriage prevalence, nonmarital fertility ratios, and
the prevalence of single-parent, female-headed families with young
children....The conclusion is that, when appropriate caution is
exercised, relatively simple measures can be used in comparative
research investigating the effect of the sex ratio on family formation
and family structure."

were collected by the status quo method. It was found that after the
continuous trend towards an earlier maturation of Polish girls from
1955 to 1978 a substantial slowing down, and even a reverse trend, was
observed. The deceleration of the age at menarche is most marked among
girls from small towns. The results seen to have been caused by the
retardation of menarcheal age in social groups which in the previous
examinations were the earliest maturers."

"Recent tests of both the pure and the extended life cycle
hypothesis have generated inconclusive results on the life cycle
behavior of the elderly. We extend the life cycle model by introducing
a constraint on the physical consumption opportunities of the elderly
which, if binding, imposes a consumption trajectory declining in age.
This explains much of the received evidence on the elderly's
consumption and savings behavior, in particular declining consumption,
and increasing savings and wealth with increasing age. Our analysis of
[Federal Republic of Germany] data gives additional support to our
theory. We finally draw the implications of the theory on the
incidence of consumption and income (wealth) taxes, and on the recent
(inconclusive) tests of intergenerational
altruism."

insurance programs appear to prevent severe financial hardship from the
most frequent work-related events, they are far less effective in

women. We suggest a number of policy changes that would provide some
measure of social insurance against adverse family-related

"In this contribution, the results are presented
of an empirical analysis of the consequences of socio-demographic
changes on income distribution, poverty and the adequacy of social
security [in Belgium]. The research shows that recent socio-demographic
trends are not only accompanied by the increase in the cost of social
security, but also by important changes in income distribution and in
the adequacy of social security. It turns out that the occurrence of a
social risk no longer automatically implies a situation of need while,
on the other hand, new needs have emerged which are not included in the
social risks traditionally covered by social insurance." The focus is
on the impact of demographic aging and on the economic well-being of
the elderly.

growth in net family income of those married up to five years is
analyzed for the years 1970-1988. A one-percent annual increase is
demonstrated. Factors considered include age of male household head,
occupation, and level of education.

"The study is based on data collected in 1985-86 in two
villages in Kenya contrasting with regard to the degree of
socio-economic development. The data suggest that when women in either
of the two communities reach a level of income that allows them to
afford more than basic needs, their behaviour is similar with respect
to investments in the quality of children (in terms of clothes and
school fees) and to contraception. When women's income is substantial
(within the context of rural Kenya), women's aspirations for their
children increase and children become costly to mothers. Also when
women have an income that allows them to hire labour, they rely more on
hired labour and on purchased needed commodities rather than on their
children's labour contributions....Under these conditions, the 'flow of
resources' follows the direction from mothers to children and leads to
mothers' desire to control the number of children they bear, as
evidenced by their contraceptive
behaviour."

The author describes a model
based on input-output models that considers out-migration from a
particular system. "These movements have important effects on
population distribution and the stock of dwellings, and start new
vacancy chains, just like new constructions. [By]...incorporating these
movements into a model,...vacancies created by out-migration or
obtained by new constructions in a given period are both reallocated by
the model in the ensuing period. It thus becomes a better tool for
decision-making, hypothesis testing, simulation and forecasting, taking
account of the state of the housing market and the urban situation in
general." Data are for the French city of Le
Havre.

influence the suburbanization process rather consistently....There are
also suburbanization differences among metropolitan areas, particularly
related to the relative economic status of cities and their suburbs,
and between the northeast/north central regions and the south/west.
Finally, we conclude that suburbanization is variable across the groups
in a way that is not captured by broad categories such as 'Asian' or
'Hispanic.'"

pp. Washington, D.C. In Eng.
The author examines how changes in
education, women's participation in the labor force, fertility,
cohabitation, and average age at marriage have affected the
relationship between husbands' and wives' educational attainment in the
United States over the past 50 years. "Census and Current Population
Survey data from 1940 to 1987 indicate that the association between
spouses' schooling increased between the 1930s and the 1970s and was
stable or decreased in the 1980s....After estimated trends in
educational assortative mating are adjusted for the length of time
between school leaving and marriage, some evidence of increased
homogamy from the 1930s to the 1980s remains. This may result from
increasing competition in the marriage market for wives with good
prospects in the labor market. Increases in educational homogamy may
increase inequality among families and in the socioeconomic achievement
of their offspring."

living arrangements among nonmarried individuals aged 55 and over
during a 2-1/2-year period in the mid-1980s. Our model emphasizes the
role of socioeconomic resources and health in making these decisions in
the context of other important factors that influence the pool of
alternatives for living arrangements. Our results show that economic
resources are important in the process of choosing household living
arrangements, but that health dominates the decision to enter an
institution. According to the results presented here, the association
between economic resources and institutionalization is minimal, once
health is considered."

"The male-female literacy differential is low in coastal, peripheral
and metropolitan areas and is high in inland and mountainous areas.
These regional disparities are the product of differences in length of
educational background, age at marriage, level of urbanisation,
standard of living and proportion of socially conservative and backward
sections of society....The study in spatial dimension provides a strong
base for the removal of sex biased discrimination in

The author examines
educational levels of the urban elderly population in China and their
effect on income, sources of income, and employment. Data are from a
1987 sample study of the segment of China's population that is more
than 60 years old. Educational levels of the urban elderly are found
to be higher than those of the rural or total elderly but lower than
those of the total population. The author notes that educational level
correlates positively with income level, dependence on pension and
salary rather than on relatives, employment and re-employment rate, and
employment in the non-material sector. It is also found that males are
better educated than females and that level of education decreases with
age.

attempts to identify geographical patterns in the status of women in

women's status on two levels: within the household and in society,
using education, age at first marriage and occupation as measures of
that status. The study demonstrates large regional variations in the
status of women, and found that their status is closely linked to
infant and child mortality. It suggests that improved education and an
increase in the age at first marriage are key elements for improving
the status of women in West Java."

ethnicity....The ancestry question allows us to characterize the
descendants of European immigrants, but because of ethnic
intermarriage, the numerous generations that separate present
respondents from their forebears, and the apparent unimportance of
ancestry to many whites of European origin, responses appear quite
inconsistent. In regard to these groups, we may now be in an era of
optional ethnicity, in which no simple census question will distinguish
those who identify strongly with a specific European group from those
who report symbolic or imagined ethnicity."
