marriage patterns, family planning and fertility, international
migration, urbanization and internal migration, ethnic groups,
education and literacy, the labor force, the population in 1992, and

This is the ninth in a series of annual reports
on population trends in Australia. "The five major areas covered in
this edition are: the recent patterns in the rate of growth of
Australia's total population and its geographical distribution,
including a comparison in the international context; the influence of
fertility and mortality rates on natural increase, including a
discussion of marriage, de facto relationships and divorce;
international migration, including a comparison of current programs
with Canada and the United States, and a study of the characteristics
of recent immigrants and emigrants; the impact of immigration on
Australia's population profile, including age structure, ethnic
composition, population distribution and the composition of the labour
force; [and] population projection of future growth and change, both
the results of short-term projections by the Bureau of Immigration
Research and longer term projections by the Australian Bureau of
Statistics. The 1992 edition...has a special focus on comparisons with
other industrial countries and with countries in the Asia-Pacific
region."

internal migration and to the increase in population size, especially
in urban populations. The importance of regional differences in
population trends is stressed.

pp. Paris, France. In Fre.
The current debate concerning the
population dynamics of Sub-Saharan Africa is reviewed. The author
describes the present demographic situation and the potential for
future high rates of population growth. He also discusses Africa's
resource potential and its current low levels of population density as
well as the growing demands in certain quarters for population control
policies. He concludes that much of the demand for population control
comes from those who benefit from a world economy that is dominated by
the developed market-economy countries, and that a workable solution to
population problems in Africa can only come about if the inequalities
between rich and poor countries are
resolved.

The significance of recent demographic changes in the European

fragmentation of the traditional family and the social consequences
this has had, and the growing imbalance between demographic trends
north and south of the Mediterranean. The implications of these
changes for both social and migration policy are
considered.

"This study examines the
recent levels and past trends in the basic components of Mongolia's
population growth and analyzes some of the most relevant consequences
of the present and expected population trends and their policy
implications. Despite previous high rates of population growth, and in
spite of the Government's strict pro-natalist policy, fertility is
declining. However, abortion, which was legalized in 1989, plays a
preponderant role in fertility decline, even though the Government has
removed former restrictions on
contraception."
