"The
report explores the reasons behind weak donor commitment to population
programs and identifies key constraints to increasing current
contributions. [It] suggests steps to increase contributions in order
to accelerate the achievement of universal access to voluntary family
planning. With a focus on donor policies and financial contributions
rather than on the efficacy of assistance, the report includes a brief
profile of each country's program and assigns...grades to each country
based on recent performance." A separate 10-page executive summary is
available.

This study attempts to bridge the gap between the
need to regulate global population growth and the need to recognize
women's rights concerning control over their own reproductive health
and fertility. The book is in four parts. Part 1 considers the
evolution of women's rights in the context of human rights in general.
Part 2 examines the politics of feminism, family planning, and
population control, with particular consideration given to how conflict
has arisen between advocates of population control and feminist
advocates of women's rights. Part 3 examines the condition of women's
lives around the world and their sexual and reproductive choices. Part
4 concludes by attempting to lay out a policy agenda involving a
woman-centered reproductive policy and program based on the concepts of
sexual and reproductive health and women's
rights.

increased...its performance has not been able to make an impact

The author notes that, despite recent UN estimates of falling

pressures on resources and productive capacities. Global and regional
potentialities for attaining rising levels of living in the face of
prospective increases in numbers appear to be diminishing, not
expanding....[He finds that] population policy, both in the
industrially advanced and developing regions, can no longer be regarded
as a peripheral part of development programming
efforts."

Acta Sociologica, Vol. 36, No. 1, Mar 1993. 19-31 pp. Oslo, Norway. In
Eng.
"In 1980, Sweden made a 'speed premium' on childbearing
statutory by letting parents retain the parental leave benefits paid
after the birth of one child until after the next birth if it arrived
within two years; in 1986 this eligibility interval was extended to
thirty months. For longer birth intervals, benefit rights must be
re-established by earning a work-related income. During a period of a
general rise in fertility in Sweden, parents reacted by increasing
their fertility particularly strongly before the end of the eligibility
interval. This paper displays these developments. It is a rare
demonstration of a direct causal effect of a policy reform on
demographic behavior. The general development of fertility levels at
the various birth orders has some independent interest and is presented
as a background."

193-212 pp. Cambridge, England. In Eng.
Political factors affecting
changes in abortion law in Israel are analyzed. The author notes that
two largely incompatible political objectives have played a major role:
to control fertility among the poor and to encourage fertility among
the Jewish population as a whole. The liberal abortion policy existing
until recently was largely ineffective because it was not supported by
adequate family planning services. Recent changes in the law, aimed at
restricting abortion for social reasons, have not resulted in higher
fertility because they were not followed up by economic
incentives.

The author uses
the example of France to examine why it is so difficult for a liberal
democratic state to control immigration. He examines the political
process in France, particularly the capacity of the government to
intervene in matters of social and economic activity. Even though
France is seen as a strong, centralized state with the capacity to
intervene when it needs to do so, the author concludes that "economic
and social conditions are found to play a much greater role in
channeling migratory flows than the 'actions' of the state, as
expressed in public policy."
