This volume presents a selection of demographic
and socioeconomic data for 30 African countries that are the
responsibility of the French Ministry for Cooperation (primarily
Africa's French-speaking countries). The data are mainly from censuses,
supplemented with vital statistics where available, and surveys, and
are not adjusted or amended. An introductory summary examines such
topics as population size, population density and urbanization, age
distribution, natural increase, nuptiality, and prospects to the years
2000 and 2025.

This volume examines the implications of current
demographic trends for the United States in the coming decades.
"Specifically, this volume examines the socioeconomic implications of
three major patterns evident in recent population projections completed
by the U.S. Bureau of the Census. These three patterns include slower
population growth and the increased importance of immigration in
determining growth, the aging of the population, and the increasing
ethnic diversity of the population. These three patterns are examined
as they impact the labor force, income and poverty, businesses, public
and private services, and fiscal conditions in the United States
between now and the middle of the twenty-first
century."

This is one in
a 12-volume series examining current social, economic, and political
aspects of life in Brazil. This volume looks at the country's
population, and is in four parts. The first deals with population
size, growth, and change, and includes a discussion on the state of the
demographic transition. The second section covers mortality levels and
trends by age, sex, and cause of death. Part three examines spatial
distribution and redistribution through migration and urbanization. The
final section contains population estimates and projections for the
period 1980-2000. Methodological information and statistical tables are
included in two appendixes.

"Two aspects of
Marshall Islands demography are emphasized here: change in the total
population and change in the geographical arrangement of population.
First, interaction with non-Micronesian societies and the demographic
impacts of this interaction are briefly summarized. The evolving
geographic distribution of population in the Marshalls is then
documented, focusing on ten censuses conducted during the twentieth
century and exploring the shifts in fertility, mortality, and migration
that led to these changes. Finally, demographic trends are examined in
terms of regional cultural ecology--revealing a decreasing
correspondence between population and productivity potential coupled
with a lack of systematic patterning in the regional arrangement of
population--pointing up fundamental adaptive and economic challenges
facing this emerging island nation."

Population developments, however, were far from homogenous....The
biggest variations between and within regions concern overall
population growth, fertility developments and international migration;
on the other hand, a much improved mortality situation and higher urban
than rural population growth emerge as two developments that affected
all Pacific Island Countries during the

This report
"looks at the population past, present, and future of the 15 new states
created by the breakup of the former USSR. The demographic prospects
for these countries looks very different now than it did just a few
years ago, primarily because of a decrease in birth rates and a
disturbing increase in death rates. The economic chaos and overriding
pessimism that accompanied the political disintegration of the USSR
produced dramatic demographic responses. Russia, which overwhelms the
other 14 countries both in land and population, has experienced the
most major changes--with a TFR of 1.4 and male life expectancy at birth
at only 59 years by 1993. Russia, along with several former republics
in Europe, is experiencing population decline from an excess of deaths
over births....[This report] examines the demographic profile of each
former Soviet republic within the context of its current economic and
political situation. It also presents population projections to 2025
for each of the countries."

of fertility with mortality and migration are analyzed. It appears
that mortality did not play a major role in the decline of fertility,
and that, in South Korea, people responded to the population pressure
by migrating, delaying marriage, and having abortions, and then, only
when these options were exhausted, marital fertility sharply
declined."

fertility, nuptiality, in-migration from abroad and internal migration
have undergone drastic change. Noteworthy is the rising life
expectancy at birth and, more importantly, the growing life expectancy

increase due to migration. [A] steep fall of nuptiality became the most
pronounced feature of population development in 1993....The number of
children born in 1993 in the Czech Republic was the [lowest] since 1918

French Polynesia gives a good example of the situation in the other
countries of the South Pacific Islands. The main trends of this
evolution are: a slow adjustment [to] occidental fertility, the
preservation of traditional behaviours for nuptiality, the continuation
of mortality decrease. So the demographic increase still constitutes a
social, economical and political challenge, and this will be [so] for a
