The author presents a critique of the
concept of demographic aging which is currently widely discussed in
developing countries. She suggests that demographers were singularly
unsuccessful in identifying the consequences of fertility trends
between 1930 and 1960 because they let other considerations than
scientific objectivity influence their thinking. She further asserts
that those engaged in the current debate about demographic aging try
and ignore pronatalist concerns when studying this
phenomenon.

"Nowadays 75% of foreigners living in Switzerland have a permanent
residence permit. A new phenomenon goes along with this stabilisation:
the aging of this resident foreign population, especially Italians and
Spaniards who arrived in Switzerland in the fifties and sixties. This
trend will have definite consequences on the costs of Swiss social
security benefits. Our research project aims at clarifying which
factors influence those immigrants who are near retirement to decide
whether to stay or go back to their home
countries."

implications for social policy. This report concerns Thailand; others
cover the situation in the Philippines, Singapore, and

The native
and immigrant populations of Switzerland are examined and compared.
"The latter represents today 18% of the total population and its age
structure tends to draw nearer to that of the Swiss by an aging
process. The sex ratio is much different in the two communities. In
fact, the foreign population has a strong masculine predominance,
especially among the holders of short duration permits. In addition,
the diminution in the number of Italians and Spaniards goes with the
arrival of the new nationalities (Yugoslavs, Portuguese and Turks) in
the labour market and one can observe, as for the Swiss, that the
foreign labour, generally speaking, joins more and more the tertiary
industries."

examine the components of net migration and natural increase for those
aged 0-64 and those 65 or older....In general, the 'aging' of the
nonmetropolitan population was predominantly due to elderly migration
during the 1970-80 decade, and to the loss of young people both before
and afterward. Recent trends give little support for the view that the
1970s was the beginning of a new phase of deconcentrated settlement,
even for elderly persons."

(i) In the past, extra male-specific mortality appeared to reduce the
relatively large values of the sex ratio observed at birth, and this
held true in both populations. (ii) In more recent times,
male-specific mortality has been decreasing in all age groups, and the
sex ratios before and after the action of early selection now tend to
identical values."

preference but no clear policy impact on sex ratios at different birth
orders. In a sample of selected births during 1975-84 to women aged 40
or under, the mixed influences of son preference and population policy
were clearly reflected in the high and rising overall ratios at birth,
and the increasing sex ratios with parity. Possible explanations for
these findings are discussed."

engine of growth and as a determinant of life-cycle profiles of
earnings and labor supply. We extend the Auerbach-Kotlikoff simulation
model in order to introduce training decisions and endogenous growth.
The impact of demographics and taxation on the endogenous rate of
growth is studied. Unlike infinite horizon models of growth, income
growth per capita and population growth are inversely related, and
unlike fertility-based models, the direction of causality goes from the
exogenous population growth to the endogenous economic growth.
Taxation policy that favors human capital as opposed to physical
capital translates into higher income growth per
capita."

"The extent to which the Immigration Reform and Control Act
(IRCA) of 1986 affected the wages of Mexican workers in the United
States is assessed using data collected from migrants in 13 Mexican
communities as well as from out-migrants from those communities located
in the United States. No evidence of selectivity bias in these data
was found. Examination of changes in the wages earned by migrant
household heads before and after IRCA's passage in 1986 indicated that
IRCA had no effect on the wages earned by Mexican migrants per se, but
that it substantially increased the penalties accruing to undocumented
status."

"The present article examines
the separate effects of ethnicity and immigration on earnings by

model provide the theoretical framework. Results show that when we
look at cross-sections, for every decade studied, except 1940,
immigration had positive effects on the earnings of native born
Americans. After controlling for possible simultaneity bias, and using
panel regression analysis, the author found different results.
Although not completely eliminated, the impact of immigration was
substantially reduced."

literatures. A more extensive application of the Paglin (1975) life

varying ages, they are also made for varying survival probabilities
from one age to the next. Finally, some consideration is also given to
the implications of varying morbidity rates across race and gender for
the distribution of economic well-being."

A 1986 "model
of public pensions is generalized to allow for endogenous fertility.
We show that gifts to the old, which can be viewed as social security
contributions, are always positive in the steady state. An optimal
stationary allocation is sustainable if savings are zero and fertility
is exogenous. However, the optimal allocation is in general not
sustainable. In particular, if a government enforces a social security
plan setting the pension level at the optimal gifts and individuals
optimize under the pension constraint, the resulting sustainable
outcome is in general different from either the optimal or Nash
outcome." The geographical focus is on developed
countries.

The author investigates problems caused by
the low status of female children in India. "Available information on
girls reveals their invisibility, and their concerns are often subsumed
in the concerns of children in general, or of women. An overview of
general statistics indicates negative male/female ratios, higher female
child mortality, lesser access to food, health, education and
recreation, and early induction into domestic work, marriage and
motherhood. The perpetuation of a cycle of more burden and less care
for females starts as early as birth." Data are for the metropolitan
area of Bombay.

In Eng.
Data from the 1991 census are used to analyze trends in
ethnic diversity in Canada. The authors note that "Canada is becoming
increasingly diverse in its ethnic composition, with proportionately
more people reporting origins other than British or French. This trend
is partly due to an increase in the number of recent immigrants coming
from non-European rather than European countries. It is also
influenced by an increase in the number of people reporting Canadian or
Aboriginal ancestry. Nonetheless, most people in all provinces still
claim British or French origins. Canada's ethnic make-up, however,
varies considerably by region, reflecting where different waves of
immigrants have settled over time."
