Using data for Latin
America, "this paper analyses the [potential] of using social policies
in connection with policies to affect demographic behaviour....It shows
that there is a coincidence between the interests of the countries, as
expressed by the national governments, and the demographic wishes of
couples....It shows that to a certain extent, it is possible
to...[implement] social and population policies that are relatively
independent from the economic situation. The document also discusses
the role of social scientists...[and central and local governments] in
the elaboration and execution of policies in general, and
socio-demographic polices in
particular...."

policy directed toward population growth rates and health needs....The
paper starts by giving some brief background information about Kenya
and then reviews how the government has reacted to the implications of
past censuses and survey findings. This brief history of population
policy shows the extent to which the Kenya government utilizes
demographic data in formulating policies and programmes. The third
section reviews the major findings of the 1989 KDHS and the final
section deals with the implications of these
findings."

The relationship

Switzerland, and Alsace in France. Data are from fertility surveys
carried out in 1986-1987 in West Germany and Switzerland, secondary
studies of fertility trends in the three regions, and two special
surveys. Chapters are included on the demographic situation and
socioeconomic structure, the intercultural comparison of family policy
measures, the "reproductive climate", costs and benefits of children
among German and Swiss married women, attitudes toward family versus
career, knowledge and evaluation of family policy measures, and the
future of family policy.

in Brazil within the setting of economic development efforts in four
different periods: 1930-50, 1950-65, 1965-80 and, 1980-90. The
1965-80 period is emphasized, since it represents the apex of central
planning in Brazil and as a result the consequences of public policy on
population distribution are more conspicuous. We shall examine both
explicit policies (i.e., those which directly influence the
distribution of activities and/or people over space) and implicit
policies (i.e., government actions in other domains which have
unanticipated and/or unintended consequences on population
distribution)....As will be documented, implicit policies tend to have
much more influence on overall
redistribution."

"Despite
the potential for government employment policies both to encourage and
preclude migration among the Aboriginal workforce, little is known
about the impacts of such policies. This paper seeks to construct a
base line for identifying these impacts by establishing the spatial
structure of labour migration among the Aboriginal and Torres Strait
Islander population. It makes use of 1986 Census data to describe the
volume and pattern of net and gross flows of working-age Aborigines and
Islanders through the national settlement system, distinguishing
between movements in remote and closely settled parts of the country.
Full determination of the links between policy and migration flows
awaits comparison with 1991 Census
results."

importantly, the empowerment of returnees (via, i.e., exceptionally
good material benefits, guarantees of research autonomy). President
Park played the cardinal role in empowering repatriates at the expense
of his own civil bureaucracy, and his capacity for such patronage
derived from Korea's bureaucratic-authoritarian political
system."
