This book
is intended as a reference source for the 1991 Indian census. It
presents statistical data at the district level for all the states and
Union Territories. The state and district tables concern population
and growth rates of districts; population growth, 1901-1991; sex ratio
and population density, 1981 and 1991; literacy, 1961-1991; and urban
population by sex and literacy. A selection of 1991 census tables for
the whole of India is also included. In an introductory text, the
authors examine the policy implications of current demographic trends
and describe the need for demographic zoning to facilitate population
policy planning. The role of population in allocating resources is
also addressed.

This report consists primarily of a graphical
presentation in both English and French of aspects of current and
future trends in Canadian population dynamics. It is based on the
findings of the Demographic Review, set up by the Canadian Government
in 1986 to examine the long-term links between population dynamics and
social and economic changes. The information is grouped under the
headings of current trends and Canada's future population; population,
economy, and environment; the changing Canadian family; the age
structure of tomorrow's Canada; and the role of immigration and the
contribution of immigrants.

This analysis of population trends in North Korea is based on
data released by the North Korean authorities in 1989 as part of the
procedures involved in obtaining technical and financial assistance
from the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA). Data were also
obtained by one of the authors in Pyongyang, North Korea, in 1990. The
results indicate that "the total population of North Korea was about
21.4 million in 1990, 1-2 million fewer people than previously
estimated by other sources for that year. Females still outnumbered
males, but the gap is narrowing over time....Expectation of life at
birth may have reached about 69 years and appears to be considerably
greater for females than males....North Korea's infant mortality rate
is low in comparison to many other developing countries. Fertility
dropped steeply in the early 1970s and has declined very gradually
since then....We estimate that some births were unregistered in the
early 1980s, so that the 1987 birth rate was actually around 22.9 and
the total fertility rate 2.5. Therefore, fertility was low but had not
yet reached replacement level by 1987...."

obsession. [Marianne et les lapins: l'obsession demographique.]
ISBN 2-85565-633-8. 1991. 264 pp. Olivier Orban: Paris, France. In Fre.
The author examines current French attitudes toward demographic
issues in France and their implications. He notes that, whereas
demographers and politicians from both the left and the right are
raising the alarm about a future decline, the population of France has
actually grown from 40 to 56 million since World War II. In analyzing
this apparent contradiction, the author points out that much of the
concern is due to the type of population growth that is occurring
rather than to the absolute total, in that the falling fertility of the
native population parallels substantial immigration. The interlocking
relationships among demography, politics, and nationalism are discussed
in the context of present and future population
trends.

The demographic future of the
Latvian population in Latvia is examined using data from a variety of
sources. The author notes that numbers have declined from around 77
percent of the total population in the 1930s to just over 50 percent in
1989, due primarily to large-scale immigration from neighboring Soviet
republics. Consideration is given to the rural-urban distribution of
ethnic groups and to the distribution of ethnicity and language by age.
The problems that face Latvian authorities with regard to inter-ethnic
relations in this demographic context are
reviewed.
