"The aim of this article is to show that the planning mechanisms
and/or instruments for controlling the expansion of Mexico City have
largely failed due to their rigidity and the fact that they are plagued
with technicisms, for they are rather inconsistent with proposals for
social distribution found in urban policies. To this end, the [authors
make] reference to the urban control strategy in the Federal
District..., presenting specific evidence on the Chalco-Ixtapaluca
zone."

"The legal systems of Sahelian African countries combine
customary law, Islamic law, French colonial law, and civil law
introduced since independence in 1960. Utilizing a framework developed
by the...University of Dakar, Senegal, and the...[U.S.] Center for
Population and Family Health, Columbia University, the Sahel Institute
undertook a comprehensive study of the legal and social status of women
in Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, and Senegal. Since 1960, Burkina Faso,
Mali, and Senegal have replaced French family law with national
marriage codes. Niger has not yet adopted a family code; the laws on
the family inherited from the French remain in force. The
postindependence marriage codes have attempted to give young women more
say in choosing a husband, to regulate the practice of bride price, and
to limit the practice of polygyny. They have done this by integrating
customary law and government-passed civil law. Mali, Niger, and
Senegal have repealed provisions in their codes prohibiting the
distribution of contraception, based on a 1920 French law. Although it
has taken no formal legal action, Burkina Faso has adopted family
planning policies that effectively nullify the 1920
law."

Although the study is primarily concerned with Italy and the

concern attitudes toward migration policy, the value of having
children, social policies related to the position of women and
children, and family policies. The questionnaires used are also
included.

effect on child care, parental leave, and fertility is then offered.
The demographic impact of labor shortages as a result of population
aging is also discussed.

"This volume consists of a
synthesis of country studies reviewing the demographic impact of
development projects carried out in Bangladesh, Indonesia, the
Philippines and Thailand. It also includes analysis of the demographic
impact of development interventions in several other countries such as
Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, India and Nigeria. The study discusses
conceptual, methodological and policy issues in assessing the
demographic impact of development projects. In particular, it examines
why development planners should be interested in assessing demographic
effects and whether such effects can be assessed. It also examines
whether and to what extent economic and social changes generated by
specific development interventions...have influenced demographic
behaviour...in a particular context. At the same time it suggests how
desired effects can be enhanced and undesired effects minimized by
policy-makers and planners in developing countries in order to deal
with problems of population growth and its
distribution."

This is a report evaluating the extent to
which demographic concerns are considered in development planning and
policy in Turkey. Separate chapters cover conceptual frameworks
underlying policies, sources of knowledge and data needed for planning,
planning methodologies, and institutional networks. It is concluded
that "the concept of integrated population and development planning has
not yet been fully embraced by Turkey's planners. Consequently,
population policy formulation has been linked with development planning
neither in the comprehensive planning stage nor during programme and
project formulation." The need for an institutional framework within
which to develop and coordinate a national population plan is
stressed.

law on abortion and other issues. ISBN 0-939253-23-2. 1992. 35 pp.
Alan Guttmacher Institute: New York, New York. In Eng.
The author
reviews U.S. state laws concerning adolescents' rights in making
decisions about abortion and other issues. "The examination sought to
answer questions in three areas: To what extent can a minor, without a
parent's consent or knowledge, obtain medical care for pregnancy, birth
control, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and other sensitive
health problems? Can a minor, without the involvement of her parents,
make independent decisions in other important areas of her life, such
as the decision to drop out of school before the 12th grade, [or] the
decision to get married...? Do states treat a minor's decision
regarding abortion differently from other decisions?...In this report,
we begin with a brief history of how the law has traditionally viewed
minors, and a summary of key Supreme Court decisions pertaining to
parental involvement for abortion. We then...discuss whether mandatory
parental involvement for abortion constitutes good public policy. In
the conclusion, we explore some approaches to the parental involvement
issue that might promote the best interests of minors who are facing
decisions about abortion and other sensitive areas of their
lives."

"The experience of England and Wales is explored to show how the

affect the private decisionmaking patterns of several key
subpopulations in such a way as to first support high levels of
fertility during development, and subsequently to reduce
them."

and Romania) are discussed. The principal aspects of social
legislation during the past years are examined: maternity grants,
maternity leave, parental leave, family allowances, tax rebates,
reductions in the working hours of employed mothers, as well as the
provision of different kinds of child-care centres (day nurseries,
kindergartens, nursery schools). The objective of all these policies
has been to encourage women and couples to have children. [The author
concludes that] recent changes in Eastern Europe are unlikely to
challenge these general objectives; indeed, they may even be
strengthened."

Alain. The effects of family policies in the German

Selection, Vol. 2, 1990. 127-40 pp. Paris, France. In Eng.
The
author examines "the impact which various pro-natalist measures adopted
since 1976 in the German Democratic Republic have had on women's birth
cohorts....A period analysis of subsequent birth and fertility trends
would seem to indicate that this policy was remarkably effective. The
annual number of births...started to rise rapidly in 1976 and reached a
peak of 245,132 births in 1980, an increase of 37%....Furthermore,
comparison with the period fertility trend in the Federal Republic of
Germany...shows that the gap between the two Germanys has widened since
1977...whereas the trends had been very similar in the two countries
before that date....However...other factors should be taken into
account: in particular, the number of marriages has fallen steeply
during the last few years, and at the same time the number of births
outside marriage has soared. These changes, which were in all
probability prompted by the adoption of social legislation which
favoured single mothers (or fathers)...must be taken into account when
assessing the consequences of the new family policy."

analysis shows common points in the definition of the problems to be
dealt with and in the nature of solutions envisaged in a context of

of immigrants and redefining the means for their integration. Some
important distinctions are however highlighted, which can largely be

Separate consideration is given to the impact of immigration during the
provincial era, including the Maori wars of resistance to settlement;
immigration and public works projects; the movement of European
minorities into group settlements; changes in industry and agriculture;
and the effects of economic depression, war, decreases in migration
flows, and the formation of the modern state of New Zealand. Aspects
of migration policy covered include the assessment and selection of
migrants permitted to enter, the individuals who shaped migration
policies, labor force needs, and socioeconomic factors. Appendixes
present data on migrant characteristics and changes in population size
and distribution.

approach to Italian immigrants; how nativist biases against southern
Italians prompted officials to attempt to keep the number of

to manipulate the system for their own purposes." The period covered
