This is the report of a
government-sponsored inquiry into the major issues that could arise
from an increase in Australia's population. As a contribution toward
the development of a population strategy it examines population
prospects and the economic, ecological, social, and international
impact of Australia's population trends, and makes recommendations on
the elements of a national population
policy.

Australia. In Eng.
This is the eighth annual report on Australia's
population trends. "The authors have gathered data from a wide range of
sources, and these are analysed and interpreted. Six major areas are
examined: population size and growth; natural increase, including
fertility and mortality; net migration, including immigration and
emigration; age structure; population distribution; [and] short-term
and long-term projections....[The report] also examines the
contributions of the elderly to society. A separate chapter is devoted
to Australia's population distribution pattern and the factors which
shape it."

Luxembourg. [L'evolution demographique au Grand-Duche de
Luxembourg.] Apr 1991. 117 pp. Institut National d'Etudes
Demographiques [INED]: Paris, France. In Fre.
Demographic trends in
Luxembourg are analyzed. The author first reviews population trends
since 1841 and compares them with other European countries. Aspects of
the demographic transition are then discussed, with particular
attention given to patterns concerning marriage and the family. It is
noted that fertility has been one-third lower than replacement level
for over 15 years. The effects of immigration are then considered.
Finally, the political and economic implications of the current
situation are reviewed.

going and why they may be important." Sections are included on
historical and current population trends, population distribution,
fertility, marriage patterns, households and families, mortality trends
and differentials, labor force, internal and international migration,
ethnic minority populations, and the political economy of demographic
change.

This is a collection of papers by various authors concerning
current trends in population growth in the United States and their
predicted effects on the environment and on quality of life. "Experts
in various fields [were asked] to consider the impact different
population levels would have on their fields of interest. In the
chapters that make up the 'Perspectives' section...the authors examine
the labor force, the issues raised by an aging population, and national
security....In the section 'Rebuttals,' I challenge the fundamental
assumptions of those who believe that continuing growth is desirable or
even possible....In the four chapters included in the section 'Getting
There,' experts describe the scale of the problem and suggest ways that
our society can consciously shape demographic change. In chapters on
Europe and Central America...we contrast an example of a region that
has come to grips with its population growth with one that has
not."

redistribution during the period; internal migration and emigration to
Europe and Latin America; population dynamics; structural changes,
including those due to employment, unemployment, demographic aging, and
trends in family formation; and case studies of the regions of Castile
and Leon as examples of demographic trends occurring in Spain as a

Changes in the
demographic characteristics of the populations of Armenia, Azerbaijan,
and Georgia are analyzed in light of the 1988 earthquake in Armenia,
the ongoing conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan, and the migratory
flows resulting from the two. Comparisons are made of population
density, urban population growth, and total population by ethnic group
among the three countries for the years 1959, 1970, 1979, and 1989.
The need for strong government policies aimed at improving the quality
of life of residents of the area is stressed.
