This study concerns issues of population growth, immigration,
and the environment in the United States. "We will first examine the
connections between population growth and the environmental, resource
and social issues that already confront the nation. We will then
project population patterns for the United States in the twenty-first
century, if present demographic patterns continue and if the nation
does nothing about them. We will also look at how such a rate of
growth and eventual population size will affect the environmental and
social problems already confronting us....We will [also] explore
alternative population scenarios....Our purpose is to illustrate the
need to consider all three demographic variables--fertility, mortality
and immigration--if population growth is to be stopped....We
will...offer suggestions on how fertility might be reduced and
immigration controlled. Finally, we will speculate on what kind of
society would emerge--economically, politically and socially--under a
no-growth scenario, and we will describe what seem to us certain
preconditions, involving social behavior and the nation's view of
itself, if our society is ever to come to grips with the population
issue and attempt to steer the direction of future
change."

This
book is primarily the product of the National Population Seminar held
in the Sudan in June 1988, and the National Training Workshop in
Population and Development held in March 1989. It is aimed at
providing basic information from which a population policy could be
developed. "Part I synthesizes some of the major features of a widely
utilized analytical approach to population and human resources
planning, which...[may] stimulate planners...to integrate population
factors into their planning exercises. Part II summarizes present
knowledge of the population and its dynamics in the Sudan, while Part
III reviews the functioning of Sudanese labor markets and their future
prospects. Finally, in Part IV, the nature and strategy of a proposed
population policy make their own suggestions for the development of
policies and the creation of institutions which may better serve the
needs for productive employment and rising incomes; better health,
education, and housing conditions; and a more sustainable lifestyle for
the rapidly growing numbers of Sudanese
citizens."

A number of current

current and future demographic trends and their social consequences;
changes in population size and structure, fertility, mortality, and
migration; asylum-seekers and refugees; minority populations; the
concept of healthy life expectancy; support for the elderly; labor
market dynamics; policy concerning family formation and fertility; and
attitudes toward population issues. "Finally, some capita selecta on
likely future population related issues are treated, such as probable
developments in international migration, in morbidity and mortality, in
education, labour market and health care, in the formal and informal
labour market, in spatial and environmental population issues, and
possible trajectories to a stationary
population."

This is the first in a planned quarterly
series that will concern population and development issues in
Sub-Saharan Africa. The first paper reviews the current demographic
situation in eastern and southern Africa. The authors note that most
countries in these two regions are experiencing rapid population
growth. "Other current population problems...include very high
physiological population densities; high fertility in the face of low
contraceptive use; high but declining mortality whose upsurge is
expected due to HIV/AIDS epidemic; low but rising life expectancy at
birth; increasing internal and international migration, the latter
compounded by refugee flows; and rapid urbanisation. Yet these
demographic indicators persist as the gross national product...[of]
countries continues to decline. In these two closely related
sub-regions, both the roles of population policies as well as
programmes and the place of the population factor in regional
integration cannot be over-emphasized."

This article
summarizes papers presented at a conference on the worsening of the
demographic situation in Russia held in July, 1994. They find that
"during 1993 alone the average life expectancy of men and women in the
country decreased by 3.6 [to 59 years] and 2 years [to 72 years],
respectively, and the difference between them for this index reached 13
years--for modern history, an unprecedented occurrence in peace time."
It is also noted that the birth rate has declined significantly,
mortality from injuries and poisoning has greatly increased, and the
morbidity situation deteriorated. The article concludes that the total
population is likely to fall by 9 million by the year 2005.

"Generally speaking, France and the
Netherlands experience similar demographic developments with respect to
fertility, nuptiality, mortality or aging. More often than not the
trends are in the same direction. A more detailed analysis, however,
reveals differences in levels of trends and differences in the timing
of specific demographic events. One of the main differences is that
ultimately French women have a slightly higher fertility than Dutch
women, and that currently in France the mother's age at childbirth is
on average one year lower. Moreover, non-marital fertility is much
more common in France, as has always been the case. In this section an
overview is given of the most striking similar and dissimilar features
in both countries...."

A review of recent demographic trends in France is
presented in the context of trends in Europe as a whole. The main
factors noted concerning France are a decline in fertility, an increase
in life expectancy, a slight increase in nuptiality, stability in the
number of divorces, and an increase in immigration. Differences among
the countries of Europe are primarily due to differences in both
fertility and migration levels.
