"This
work...seeks to answer those questions raised by the geo-demographic
study of the [European] Community: what are the principal features of
the Community's population in the early 1990s? How do they vary
spatially? How have their demographic characteristics evolved during
the decades since 1945? What are the most distinctive recent trends?
What is the outlook for the twenty-first century?" The primary
geographical focus is on the European Community, but "the Nordic
countries, Switzerland, Austria and the states of eastern Europe are
not ignored...."

The author examines
population growth in the member countries of the Customs and Economic

African Republic, Chad, Congo, Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon. The lack
of progress toward a demographic transition is attributed to the
relative failure of these countries to achieve a sufficient level of
socioeconomic development.

possible future population trends in major world

new jobs, the unemployment rate is increasing: it is three times higher
than in metropolitan France and it affects mainly young
people."

changes in the size and age structure of Finland's population, with a
focus on future economic and social development. "The most significant
factor shaping the Finnish age pyramid has been fertility....Because of
the large proportion of the population composed by those of working
age, Finland has had a favorable age structure compared to that of
other countries....But in the future this favorable age structure will
change and the proportion of aging population will increase rapidly.
In 2030 almost every third person will be over 65 years old in
Finland."

"This chapter aims to
provide a broad picture of change [in the European Community] from
around 1900 onwards, reviewing the evolution of total rates of growth
and their major determinants. Two themes are of particular importance:
first, the general tendency towards a 'mature' demographic structure,
that is, low fertility, the rapid retreat of mortality and their
corollary of ageing, achieved through the process usually described as
'demographic transition'; second...,this century has been marked by
growing similarity in demographic trends, so that the Europe of the
early 1990s has become much more homogeneous in terms of demographic
behaviour."
