The author presents a
historical overview of population trends in Mexico during the
nineteenth century. His aim is to summarize the diverse body of work
published on the topic, since official government statistics are
largely unavailable due to the country's war of independence and
various other internal conflicts that impeded census-taking. The three
main available sources studied are censuses taken by individuals, the
few state censuses available, and civil and church
registers.

The authors attempt to estimate the size of the armed forces of
North Korea using data from recently released official population
statistics, which permit estimations to be made of the country's
noncivilian male population. They conclude that this approach supports
those who believe that there has been a major buildup in the country's
military population from the mid-1970s to the late 1980s and that as a
result North Korea is the most militarized society in the
world.

"This article considers standard demographic forecasts in the
broader intellectual context of theoretical and empirical studies of
population dynamics. The article has four parts. First, I consider
the insights to be gained from demographic analysis, with an emphasis
on the declining influence of mortality change on growth rates.
Second, I consider at some length the different approaches to
forecasting: those that hypothesize levels and changes in the vital
rates without reference to the implied changes in population size, and
those that reason in terms of the Earth's carrying capacity and the
responsiveness of population growth rates to feedback. Third, I
consider the degree of uncertainty in population forecasts. Fourth, I
review some recent long-run forecasts of global population." Comments

In Eng.
The authors examine why demographers have such difficulty
forecasting demographic trends, even though the available analytic
methods and data have improved. They conclude that the main reason is
the growing control by individuals over primary demographic indicators
such as fertility and mortality, and the consequent need to include in
the analysis a wide array of factors that govern individual choice in
such matters.

Ten alternative projections are presented for the world's

which the projections are made involve future trends in fertility and
mortality that do not necessarily reflect current mainstream thinking.
The authors conclude that either rapid population growth will continue
or, if population growth stabilizes, substantial demographic aging is
inevitable, as are its social and economic
challenges.

Factors affecting changes in population size from 1950 to
1987 in the German Democratic Republic and the Federal Republic of
Germany are analyzed and compared. The authors use a decomposition
model that considers the effects of fertility, mortality, and
migration. They find that migration is the major demographic factor
affecting population size in both countries, with migration to the
Federal Republic of Germany accounting for 75 percent of its population
growth and migration out of the German Democratic Republic responsible
for 80 percent of its population decrease for the
period.

This is a report to the European Population Committee on world
population growth and its demographic, economic, and policy
consequences for Europe. The author notes that "the increase in world
population--particularly in the 'third world'...and the steady decrease
in fertility and population in nearly all European countries could lead
to growing pressure of emigrants from overpopulated countries into
Europe. At the same time, other aspects, political as well as legal,
deserve consideration in the face of [the] growing imbalance between
ageing Europe and over-populated, increasingly young, developing
countries."
