"In order to assess
the experience of the developing countries with international
cooperation in population activities, the Sixth United Nations
Population Inquiry among Governments, a survey carried out by the
United Nations in 1988 on national population policies, contained a
series of questions on the matter. Responses received from 79
developing countries are analysed and compared to a similar, but more
limited, survey carried out in 1983. It was found that a large
majority of the countries in all developing regions report that
technical cooperation makes a substantial and useful contribution to
progress in the field of population and that the needs for
international cooperation will continue for at least another
decade."

demographers should be involved in assisting policy-makers insofar as
their particular demographic expertise is appropriate to the policy in
question. To arrive at this conclusion, three stages will be followed:
demographic, sociological, political." The geographical emphasis is

to the need for endogenizing population factors in the development
planning process at the dawn of the 1980s." Some problems with the
integration of population issues into development policies are
examined.

Vol. 44, No. 1-2, 1991. 5-26 pp. Geneva, Switzerland. In Eng.
"Issues surrounding the retirement of the large post-World War II
'baby boom' generation in the United States are often framed either in
terms of impending intergenerational crisis or as an event to which the
United States can gradually adjust. This paper examines these two
perspectives as they compete to define U.S. social security policy. It
suggests that the intergenerational crisis perspective functions
primarily as an ideological argument and strategy for de-structuring
social welfare policy. In contrast, the gradual adjustment perspective
provides a stronger basis for planning social security and other policy
responses to the ageing of the baby boom. However, it is not informed
by a clear social vision and has not, as yet, responded sufficiently to
the potential divisiveness which may accompany changing demography.
Also, to date, relatively little attention has been paid to the diverse
social and economic circumstances of baby boomers and the implications
of this diversity for retirement planning."

immigration to migration dependence, and the decline in fertility. It
then examines the current system of taxation and social security and
how the system might be changed in order to increase family welfare and

regulation of sexuality and reproduction, which was to have a crucial
effect on the role and status of women in German society....[Policy]
emphasis switched from population quantity to quality with a view to
selective fertility control, which in its turn meant official
interference in family life....This study...gives a brief overview of
imperial policy and examines in detail Weimar policies, which
introduced important welfare legislation and legal reforms concerning
sexuality and fertility control....This allows an examination of
continuity and change between Wilhelmine and Weimar governments, and,
to a lesser extent, by brief references to post-1933 policies, between
Weimar and National Socialist regimes."

marriage policy had a strong positive effect on mean age at first
marriage and first birth but a negative impact on the length of the
first-birth interval, suggesting that the depressing effects on
fertility of the administratively enforced postponement of marriage are
more or less offset by adjustments over the first-birth interval by
Chinese couples."

non-British immigration to Australia after World War I. "The intense
desire in many quarters to maintain a 'white Australia' led not only to
the active encouragement of British immigrants but to the restrictions
and regulations upon European immigration in the period under review.
These restrictions took two forms. Statutory powers of exclusion and
restriction were conferred through...legislation....At the same
time...administrative techniques were used to limit further and control
'white alien' immigration. These techniques, such as quotas and the
discretionary power of the Minister to limit visas and landing permits,
changing in response to economic conditions and public opinion, were
perhaps more important in the government's policy of ensuring
Australia's racial purity."

Service (INS) policy and practices are examined, with a focus on "the
implementation of INS criteria and priorities governing alien detention
and length of detention to determine the basis on which INS detains
aliens." The report concludes that the INS does not have sufficient
detention capacity, and that programs to keep unwanted migrants from
entering the United States have not worked. It is also noted that
detention duration differs among aliens and that "unless the programs
designed to prevent aliens from illegally entering the country and to
remove those who have no legal basis to remain here are made more
effective, INS has little hope of detaining any more than a small
fraction of the criminal and other aliens meeting
its...criteria."

The prevailing pattern and the foundations of immigration
policies in receiving countries are described. "It will be argued in
this chapter that these policies were founded on a common doctrine, and
implemented individually but with some international concertation as a
mechanism to resolve tensions between the requirements of domestic
management and external economic performance. Those policies were cast,
however, against a restrictive baseline established in the late
nineteenth century." The geographical scope is
worldwide.
