The author looks at some
institutional aspects of population policy. In particular, he suggests
that the very concept of the modern state is part of the European
tradition, and that much of the institutional framework in developing
countries is essentially a foreign transfer. It is therefore
unrealistic to expect that policies in the area of population can be
developed and implemented in developing countries in the same way as in
the developed world.

"This
paper portrays the extensively diverse social, economic and demographic
conditions in the Pacific, the underdeveloped state of [the] economies
[of countries in the region] and the equally underdeveloped data and
knowledge bases available to population and development planners for
policy-making and implementation. To illustrate the difficulties of
formulating comprehensive, multisectoral population policies and
implementing and monitoring their varied strategies, a case study of
the Solomon Islands is presented. From this case study the paper ends
on a positive and optimistic note. The Solomon Islands is about to
launch a major new initiative which has the potential to correct past
mistakes and to redesign a multisectoral population
policy."

Population: Etudes et Documents, Vol. 5, No. 4, Dec 1994. 37-75 pp.
Paris, France. In Fre. with sum. in Eng.
The author describes the
development of population policy in Italy. The focus is on the Fascist
regime of Mussolini in the period between the two world wars in the
context of demographic trends in Europe at that time. The pronatalist
period (1927-1937) is analyzed first; during this period, the dictator
attempted to use Italian demographic trends as an instrument of foreign
policy. This involved measures against contraception, abortion,
urbanization, and celibacy, as well as efforts to encourage larger
families. The author then proceeds to show how the relative failure of
these policies, coupled with the example of racial policies being
developed in Nazi Germany, led to the development in Italy of policies
that combined pronatalism with measures to improve the supposed
`quality' as well as the quantity of the population. The impact of
these policies is considered.

James R. The effect of public policies on recent Swedish
fertility behavior. Journal of Population Economics, Vol. 8, No.
3, Aug 1995. 223-51 pp. New York, New York/Berlin, Germany. In Eng.
"In the literature the recent upsurge in period birth rates is seen
as evidence of a pronatalist effect on Sweden's extensive social
insurance programs. Yet, these explanations can not account for the
downturn in birth rates in the 1970s, the delay in childbearing, and
the constancy of cohort birth rates which characterize recent Swedish
fertility behavior. To summarize the effect of Sweden's economic and
policy environment on the observed fertility patterns, I use a
neoclassical economic framework to develop the shadow price of
fertility. Although strong simplifying assumptions are imposed, the
estimated price series exhibit a negative relationship with period
fertility rates and the change in the estimated relative prices of
fertility over the life cycle lends modest support for the delayed
childbearing."

"International standards provide for protection of the family as
the fundamental unit of society. However, a consequent right to family
reunification for migrants is not sanctioned and continues to be
resisted. This article reviews the formulation of the possibility for
family reunification as provided for in international and regional
standards and by migration policies. It argues that family separation,
if inherent in some forms of migration, should not be institutionalized
by migration policies and that state sovereignty is limited when
dealing with human rights. More specifically it argues that labor
migration, as currently developing in Asia, will require appropriate
family reunification policies, because it will evolve into some form of
settlement."

pp. Dordrecht, Netherlands. In Eng.
"This article examines
macro-structural conditions that affect time trends in aggregate
probabilities of undocumented alien apprehension along the Mexico-U.S.
border. We show that the number of migrants attempting to cross the
border illegally in a given period and the level of effort expended by
the INS to apprehend undocumented migrants are principal determinants
of apprehension probabilities. Our findings differ from those in
earlier work by Donato, Durand, and Massey who argue that individual,
household, and community factors are not significant predictors of
apprehension probabilities and conclude that escaping INS detection at
the border is essentially a random process unrelated to personal traits
or to enforcement provisions of the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control
Act....We conclude that...it is worth modeling the effects of
individuals' characteristics on apprehension probabilities by including
as predictors an estimate of the flow of undocumented migrants and
measures of INS border enforcement effort."

"Since 1980, the Congress of
the United States and three Presidents have vastly expanded
immigration, mostly from Asia and Latin America. The expansion, having
come as a result of policies enacted in 1980, 1986, and 1990, has
stimulated a growing movement for immigration restriction. Even if that
movement is partly successful, immigration is likely to continue at
high levels, and it is important to pay attention to public policies
that will help unify immigrants and their children as Americans. A
civic unity policy agenda is suggested for the...Clinton administration
that will promote civic unity while protecting ethnic
diversity."

policy on the occupational composition of immigration. We focus on 1967
changes that created a regulatory system, including the point system,
that still forms the framework of Canadian immigration policy. We find
that the point system provides some control over occupational
composition but that its effectiveness in fine tuning is limited by the
large number of other characteristics it seeks to control. We also find
that entry class and source country composition of inflow have impacts
that have swamped the effects of the point system in the last two
decades."

"Now that a new international order is
widening the gap between the developed and developing countries, new
migration policies are being created in Latin America....In the past,
migration policies were of three main types: a logic based on the
recruitment of labor, a logic based on territorial settlement, and a
logic that aimed to secure the protection of existing population. Now
that regional economic integration is underway in the three main
Latin-American areas (the Andean Countries, Central America, and the
Southern Cone), a new logic is emerging. However, the actual strategies
for economic integration in each region have only slowly and hesitantly
addressed the problem of the free movement of people. Nevertheless, one
can identify three objectives of strategies for the circulation of
people in the existing schemas. In order of priority they are:
security, development of transportation and tourist industries, and
regulation of the labor market."

expansive immigration policy while Canada and New Zealand have tended
to link immigration intakes to fluctuations in labor demand. All three
countries initially discriminated against non-European immigrants but
gradually moved towards nondiscriminatory policies based on similar
selection criteria and means of assessment. New Zealand has
traditionally been more cautious than both Canada and Australia in
terms of how many immigrants it accepted and from what sources, but it
has recently followed the other two in raising immigration targets
encouraging migration from nontraditional sources, particularly Asian
countries. Historical, global and national factors are drawn upon to
explain the degree of convergence between these three
societies."
