These are the proceedings of a
conference held in Rome, Italy, on June 2-4, 1993, which was organized
as a forum for young researchers in demography in Italy to present
results of their research. The 34 papers are organized under five
topics, which are nuptiality, fertility, and the family: what are the
changes; the measurement, analysis, and implications of migration; new
sources and methods for demographic analysis; socioeconomic aspects of
demographic trends; and mortality and morbidity transitions. The
primary geographical focus is on Italy, with one paper on mortality in
Albania.

Political Weekly, Vol. 30, No. 2, Jan 14, 1995. 88-92 pp. Bombay,
India. In Eng.
The author describes the history of recent global
population conferences. The focus is on factors affecting the topics
discussed and recommendations coming from the 1994 Cairo International
Conference on Population and Development. "Although the plan of action
approved at the Cairo Conference on Population and Development shows
the influence of the international women's movement and the issues it
has raised, it fails to tackle the crucial question of inequitable
development between the north and the south."

These are the proceedings of a
symposium held in London, England, in May 1992. The symposium, which

the environmental, health, social, and economic consequences of such
change; the impact of global environmental change and disease on
population growth and distribution; the probable impact of AIDS and the
development of population policy; and the roles of national
governments, nongovernmental organizations, donor agencies, and
religion in demographic change.
Selected items will be cited in this

These are the
proceedings of the 1993 Quetelet Chair, a series of annual conferences
organized by the Demographic Institute of the Catholic University in
Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium. The papers, which are in English or French,
examine aspects of the time factor in demographic studies. Under three
general headings, which are time and society, time and individuals, and
demography and time, the authors explain how the concept of time is
dealt with in their various disciplines. The emphasis is on
interdisciplinary differences in the methodologies used to analyze the
concept of time.
