This study examines current demographic trends and
their consequences in Italy. The first part is concerned with the
decline in fertility, demographic aging, and foreign immigration. The
second part looks at the consequences of these trends, with particular
reference to the labor force, education, and social security. A final
part assesses what, if anything, can be done to influence such change
through policy.

"Demographic trends in the Republic of Ireland have gradually
moved closer to Western European norms during the past two decades.
Birth rates have continued to fall and internal migration flows have
become diversified. External migration has continued to play an
important role in population change, however, and in the most recent
census period has contributed to net decline. Geographical patterns of
change within the state reflect a concentration of growth in the
environs of the larger centres of
population."

distribution by area and structure during the decade 1976-1986. Aspects
of the country's population receiving particular attention include its
natural increase (births less deaths), net external migration
(immigrants less emigrants), areal distribution and age-sex

in Eng.
Demographic trends in the Netherlands during 1992 are
reviewed. Among the findings, the author notes that "in 1992 the Dutch
population grew by 110 thousand....The number of births fell by some 2
thousand, immigration by 3.5 thousand. The number of deaths remained
unchanged. Emigration increased by 1.5 thousand....Twelve per cent of
the population live in a one person household. Thirty years ago this
was only 3%. Due to the decreased average number of children per
family the proportion of children fell from 44% in 1960 to 30% in 1992.
The number of people who were born abroad shows an annual growth of
4.4%. The growth of the native population is 0.44% per
year....Fertility is highest for 30 year old women. In 1970 this was
the case for those who were 26 years of age."
