"We will try here to
assess...what the effect could be of sustained low fertility on the
regional distribution of the French population, and how net migration
could counteract the fertility differences between spatial units....We
start by assessing the differences in fertility between the various
departements in France and observing their past evolution. Particular
attention will be devoted to the convergence assumption which states
that spatial differences in fertility levels are decreasing. We will
also examine, in more detail, the evolution of other fertility
characteristics, such as the mean age of mothers at their children's
birth, to see if this convergence hypothesis holds for all fertility
variables. The stability of the evolution of such indicators during
the past will give us an indication of their usefulness for making
population projections. We will also assess the stability of
differences between departmental net migration and their links with
departmental fertility."

variations of population dispersion and explaining the process of
decentralization of displacement from the country's main population

This is a
general review of research on urbanization that was conducted at the
Institut National d'Etudes Demographiques (INED) in Paris since World
War II. The study is in two main parts, the first of which concerns
housing and individual migration, and the second, urban populations and
urbanization in France. The report shows how research has evolved from
a focus on postwar housing shortages to the development of new towns
and urban centers in the 1960s, and to a concern with the relationship
between housing and life-styles in the 1980s. Some of the most recent
research concerns theoretical aspects of the concept of the town in the
context of contemporary developments in Europe as a
whole.

reference to methodological pitfalls inherent in the need to examine
urbanization in both time and space. Belgian examples are used to
illustrate the validity of estimates of urban population size, the
selection of spatial criteria in demographic analysis of urban
populations, how to distinguish urban from rural populations, and how
to estimate rates of urban population
growth.

dynamics of urban population growth, fast growing and stagnating towns,
specific characteristics of selected towns, and correlates of growth of
selected towns from 1971 to 1981. Two case studies complete the work,
one of Korba, a rapidly growing town, the other of Maheshwar, a
stagnating town.
