The implications for poor people in developing
countries of two objectives of current population policies are
assessed, namely, the negative externalities of rapid population growth
and the effects on income distribution. The authors conclude that "the
implications of the two arguments for policy are the same--both require
behavioral change by the poor. Their behavior is most likely to change
if the change improves their welfare--which should therefore be the
focus of population programs."

The impact of recent legislation on
demographic behavior in France is examined, including laws affecting
contraception, abortion, the legitimization of children, marriage,
divorce, and parental authority. The focus is on how such laws affect
demographic behavior in an era of increasing focus on individualism and
individual rights. The author concludes that legislation can extend
the options open to individuals, but its effectiveness depends on how
far it conforms to existing social trends and
preferences.

The population policies examined in this study include those
designed to influence demographic variables in Italy. Policies
concerning internal and international migration, the creation of rural
population centers in Italy and its colonies, the setting up of a
national institute to improve perinatal care and reduce infant
mortality, measures to encourage fertility, and controls over marriage
between Italians and non-Aryans, particularly Jews, are described. The
impact on demographic data collection, studies, and the development of
demographic theory is also examined. The focus is on the period of the
Fascist regime in Italy, before and during World War
II.

The authors discuss population and development

have changed almost completely: from desiring a high quantity of
children to desiring a high quality of children, [the article] explains
why issues such as population ageing and labour shortages cannot be
addressed by reversing current fertility trends. It concludes that
fertility in the long-term is unlikely to fall below the replacement
level, unless there is a substantial change in the country's social and

"This paper uses the proportional
hazards model to assess the effect of the Chinese one-child policy on
second and third births. The differential effects of the policy
between the urban and rural areas and by the sex of previous children
are highlighted. First, the urban-rural differentials have increased
much after the policy, suggesting a more rapid increase in the costs of
children and stricter government controls in the urban areas. Second,
the sex of children has become a more important factor after the
policy. The considerably higher risks to a subsequent birth among
sonless families indicate the persistent strong son preferences among
Chinese parents, especially in less developed
areas."

"This research analyzes how type of household registration,
which reflects the degree of government control, affects compliance
with China's 'one child' policy for women at risk during the first
decade of implementation. Although socioeconomic and cultural factors
have significant effects on four fertility events after first live
birth, household registration type is the most important. Furthermore,
household registration type interacts with urbanization in such a way
that the modernization influence associated with urbanization is more
evident for women under less government control. The notable success
of China's family planning program is linked to its unique system of
government control."

"Using data from the
Two-Per-Thousand National Fertility Survey, this research analyzes how
son preference...affects compliance with China's one child population
policy for women at risk during the period of 1979 to 1988. Four
events after the first live birth are used to evaluate compliance with
the policy: (1) certificate acceptance (an indicator of future
fertility intention); (2) the use of contraceptives (an indicator of
intention to prevent a subsequent pregnancy); (3) the occurrence of a
pregnancy subsequent to the first live birth (a potential violation of
the one child policy); and (4) among those pregnant, the likelihood of
an abortion (an indicator of compliance by preventing a second live
birth). It is found that son preference is still prevalent in China.
Although the effect of son preference is not the most important,
urbanization, education, and occupation have not fundamentally changed
its influence on women's compliance. In addition, the effect of son
preference on the compliance is not altered by government
control."

This paper explores the economic
and political forces that prevented restrictive legislation on
immigration being adopted in the United States between 1897 and 1921.
The author notes that economic recessions and resulting unemployment
created pressure for restrictive legislation, but that the political
clout of immigrants was enhanced by their concentration in major
cities. After 1910, the dilution of immigrant flows and the negative
impact of migrants on native wages were factors in the passage of
legislation restricting immigration.

Charlotte. The development of policy on denizens in
Denmark. New Community, Vol. 18, No. 2, Jan 1992. 293-310 pp.
London, England. In Eng.
"This article offers an analysis of Danish
migration policy from 1960-90. The framework employed is the Swedish
sociologist Thomas Hammar's concentric 'gate' model and his concept of
'denizens'. Non-Danish citizens' access to Danish society is regulated
by 'gates' and security and rights increase in proportion with the
number of 'gates' passed, culminating in naturalisation and full
social, legal and political rights. After an initial profile of the
various groups of foreigners living in Denmark, I discuss the
development of policy measures regulating immigration with particular
reference to the 'Law for Foreigners'. Finally I turn to the critical
issue of policy on denizens."

"The objective of our paper is to show why migration will be one of
the most important subjects in the Europe of the next century. We will
provide some evidence that (1) immigration flows from the outside into
the EC will increase, (2) migration flows within the EC will decrease,
(3) immigration from the outside is likely to be beneficial for the EC,
(4) the EC needs a common immigration policy to collect the benefits
from migration, and (5) in either case, there is a need for migration
policy which should incorporate the interests of emigration and
immigration countries. With this in mind, we will concentrate on
economically motivated migration...."

The author examines the development of a common migration policy
among the member countries of the European Community. Specifically, he
"discusses the international treaties relevant for a European
immigration policy which have been decided upon so far and tries to
evaluate the consequences and the reasoning of the recent
developments." The discussion is developed in the light of increasing
pressure from migrants wishing to enter the
Community.

2-7021-2029-6. 1991. 403 pp. Calmann-Levy: Paris, France; Fondation
Saint-Simon: Paris, France. In Fre.
The author describes France's
development of an immigration policy from the late 1930s to the
present, focusing on policies developed behind the scenes rather than
those that were legislated openly. He considers such issues as the
initial welcome extended to foreigners, the developing search for a way
to control the number of immigrants, the effort to reduce illegal
immigration, the defense of public order, the protection of the rights
of immigrants, naturalization policy, and the provision of social
services to immigrants. He also examines problems associated with
policy implementation, particularly since
1974.

"[South] Korea's reverse brain drain (RBD) has been an
organized government effort, rather than a spontaneous social
phenomenon....Particular features of Korea's RBD policies are the
creation of a conducive domestic environment...and importantly, the
empowerment of returnees (via, i.e., exceptionally good material
benefits, guarantees of research autonomy)....Korea's future RBD,
however, needs to pay closer attention to the following four problems:
research autonomy; equality issues; skill-based repatriation of
technicians and engineers rather than Ph.D.'s; and subsidies to small
and medium industry for RBD."
