This
publication contains papers presented at the Cairo Demographic Centre's
1988 annual seminar, the forum at which the Centre's research is
presented and discussed. "This volume includes 29 papers, organized
into seven sessions. Two sessions were exclusively devoted to the
demography of Egypt and one session each to Arab, African, Asian and
Chinese demography, while general issues were presented and discussed
in yet another session." The topics discussed in the general issues
section include the applicability of the principal components model to
cohort age-specific fertility rates using Australian data; two papers
on Egypt concerning women's status and fertility, and estimates of
total fertility; and the factors that contribute to fertility
change.

This document contains the
ceremonial speeches presented in November 1990 at a seminar on
perspectives in demographic behaviour, which was held to mark the
official opening of the Graduate School of Research in Demography at
the University of Amsterdam, Netherlands. Two substantive papers are
included. The first, by James T. Fawcett, has a global scope and
covers the contributions of psychology to demography over the past 20
years, giving emphasis to studies on the motivations behind fertility
and migration decision-making. In the second paper, Siv Gustafsson
discusses the demographic situation and feminism in Sweden in the 1930s
and how policies ultimately turned to favor women's
emancipation.
