In Fre.
The author describes the work of the French Foundation for
the Study of Human Problems, or the Carrel Foundation, which was
established in occupied France from 1942 to 1944. The mandate of the
foundation was to study "the best measures to safeguard, improve and
develop the French population" and to "synthesize research undertaken
by its own members or by others and to develop the science of man."
The author "analyzes the historical process which, combining the
contributions of medicine, demography and physical anthropology, led
after World War II to the creation of one of the major research centers
for social sciences in France: the National Institute for Demographic
Studies [INED]."

This is a collection of
eight studies by various authors on aspects of Israel's demography.
The primary focus is on the linkages between demographic changes and
inequalities in Israeli society. Topics covered include migration,
urbanization, and spatial distribution; the immigration of Soviet Jews;
ethnic differential mortality; intermarriage and fertility; Jewish
fertility; and social services in a post-industrial society. "Together,
the analyses demonstrate the powerful connections between demographic
transformations and social, economic, political, and cultural changes
and the relationship between these transformations and
inequalities."

Survey. The first chapter presents information on population and
urbanization, including age distribution, sex ratio, and population
density. The second chapter covers marriage, fertility, and family
planning. Other chapters deal with migration; mortality and health;
social characteristics, including literacy, educational status,
indigenous language, religion, and housing; the economy; the labor
force, occupations, employment, and income; and transportation and
communication.

increased significantly because of large decreases in mortality without
significant decline in fertility rates. The factors leading to high
fertility rates are explored as are the social issues that result
because of the high proportion of children. Further, although

behind the rest of the world. Some of the reasons behind these and
other aspects of the demographic situation are

A review of demographic
trends in East Germany over the period of its existence from 1950 to

conditions affected the fertility and mortality of women. The authors
note that fertility remained relatively high, although below
replacement level, despite widespread female labor force participation.
They suggest that social policies designed to ensure compatibility
between employment and motherhood may have contributed in this area.
Increases in female life expectancy are also noted, but at lower levels
than in other developed countries.
