Part 1 of this report, which is also
available in French, is one in a regular series which "describes the
most recent trends in births, deaths, immigration, emigration and
interprovincial migration, highlighting the differences which exist
among the provinces and territories and between Canada and other
industrialized countries." It also examines topics such as marriage,
divorce, and refugees. Part 2 examines the concept of the sandwich
generation, defined as those who still have both children at home and
aging parents, and "outlines the numbers and characteristics of this
growing segment of the Canadian population and indicates some of the
changes that can be expected in years to come."

"This book, a collection of research dissertations, assembles data
from numerous demographic surveys to assess the relationships between
fertility and socio-economic factors such as education, employment,
contraception perceptions and use, age at first marriage and the status
of women. It estimates the current and capital expenditure needed in
Zimbabwe's health sector, provides an overview of child, adult and
maternal mortality, examines how infant mortality is affected by birth
interval and how this in turn is affected by women's places of
residence, ages and education....Aimed at planners and policy
makers...[the study] identifies the key measures that need to be
adopted to escape runaway population growth and to assure health and
welfare."

"During the past four years, the population of Latvia
has undergone remarkable changes: though its overall size declined,
the Latvian share of the population grew. The principal causes were a
negative natural increase and a significant net emigration of Slavs.
These demographic changes are also relevant to Latvia's future
citizenry and the kind of law that will be adopted on citizenship and
naturalization."

This publication analyzes population dynamics in the Dominican
Republic and is based both on historical sources and on the six
censuses carried out since 1920. Historical population trends in the
precolonial era and in the colonial period (1492-1920) are first
reviewed. Twentieth-century population trends are then examined,
including population growth, density, migration, urbanization, sex
distribution, vital statistics, labor force, education, and ethnic and
cultural trends. The main theme of the work "is to demonstrate that
the Dominican Republic is not a homogeneous unit with respect to
demographic character, but that really quite substantial variability
exists within the country."
