An analysis of population trends
in Kazakhstan from 1917 to 1980 is presented, using data from Imperial
Russian and Soviet sources. Attention is given to changes over time in
the ethnic composition of the population, social characteristics, and
spatial distribution, as well as to changing population characteristics
such as age, sex, fertility, and mortality. The evolution of
population policies over time is also
discussed.

This is a collection of ten studies that examine aspects of
population trends in Turkey over the past 20 years. The primary focus
is on gathering the information needed to develop an appropriate
population policy as part of the next five-year development plan. The
study is in four parts. "The part of the study which concentrated on
population program effectiveness is directed towards the assessment of
the major program elements such as infrastructure and administration,
management...,use of contraceptive methods and delivery systems,
training of different types of personnel involved in the population
program, financial aspects and cost effectiveness, and the impact of
the population program on fertility. The second part of the study
investigates the reciprocal relation of socio-economic, cultural and
demographic aspects of the society with population growth. More
specifically, in the social areas, it examines issues like health,
education, culture and religion, family life cycle within traditional
forms of social security arrangements and legal codes governing
population issues and family life. In the economic sector the study
attempts to cover employment and the labour force...,occupation and
income, incentives and family benefits."

This book is a product of a CODESRIA project regarding the
links among population dynamics (including migration), development
policies, urbanization, and the crisis existing in rural areas of
Sub-Saharan Africa. The eight studies, which are interdisciplinary in
nature, concern the Central African Republic, Congo, the Ivory Coast,
Lesotho, Nigeria, Senegal, Tanzania, and Zambia. A common theme is the
critical role played by population dynamics in the problems these
countries are experiencing, and the need to adapt development policies
to take them into account. This book is also available in a French
version published in 1993.

population settlement and spatial distribution. The dynamics of the
rural and urban populations are distinguished from each other, and
trends in migration are examined. The author discusses how various
provinces differ with regard to levels of urbanization, socioeconomic
development, environment, rate of population growth, and ethnic
composition.

the results of the fourth Chinese census in 1990 evidence a high ratio
of males, which cannot be entirely put down to biological law,
increased marriages and births, and the semi-failure, twelve years
after it was put forward, of the call for single-child families....In
addition, the general educational level has varied very little between
1982 and 1990, while the active population has increased rapidly....Few
jobs were created and, as a result, there has been a sharp rise in
unemployment in the cities. Regional differences seem to gradually
decrease on a strictly demographic level, but seem to become greater in
terms of employment structure and income
levels...."
