"The purposes of this study are to describe the extent and
geographic structure of demographic variability [in the United States]
and to try to account for the variability on the basis of social and
economic development....Emphasis is on understanding the variation in
natality (birth rate), mortality (death rates), fertility, and the
incidence of births to young mothers, as outcome variables, in the
context of other kinds of demographic variables, including age
structure, sex ratio, divorce, and of a broader set of variables
relating to social and economic development. The objectives are to
demonstrate that there are significant and fascinating geographic
differences in demographic character...and to provide some
understanding of the significance of this variation to the present and
future American character."

Marek. Anomalies in demographic transition in Poland.
Geographia Polonica, No. 59, 1992. 41-53 pp. Warsaw, Poland. In Eng.
Some country-specific features of the demographic transition in
Poland are analyzed. Specifically, the author looks at the period
1945-1955, when demographic trends were affected by the aftereffects of
World War II, and the period 1970-1985. This second period was
characterized by the deteriorating health of the population,
particularly adult males; the strengthening of the family as a
socioeconomic rather than an emotional unit; and a widening gap between
demographic characteristics of rural and urban areas, particularly
fertility and mortality.

Abdel R.; Roudi, Farzaneh. The Middle East population
puzzle. Population Bulletin, Vol. 48, No. 1, Jul 1993. 40 pp.
Population Reference Bureau: Washington, D.C. In Eng.
Population
trends in the Middle East are explored. The authors find that "the
region is undergoing a transition from high to low fertility and
mortality, but the pace and level of change varies tremendously among
the countries, between urban and rural populations, and among different
ethnic groups. Use of family planning is generally low in the region,
but has increased in recent decades in some of the most populous
countries....The movement between labor-surplus and labor-deficit
countries within the region, combined with substantial Asian labor
immigration to the Gulf countries, has altered the population
structures of a number of Middle Eastern countries. Improvements in
women's education, population policies to slow fertility, and political
developments will help determine the future demography of the Middle
East, but the momentum created by past fertility and the current age
structure suggests that the region will have close to 500 million
inhabitants by 2025."

regions in particular, for the period
1981-2011.
