dynamics of the USSR population. On the basis of special studies and
models the authors [reconstruct] annual population size estimates and a
number of basic demographic indicators as well as estimates of the size
of population losses caused by the famine of 1933 and the war of
1941-45; analyzed is the post-war dynamics of the USSR population. A
number of chapters deal with the demographic situation in the country
and its change during the last decade at a regional level."
Reviews of current trends in fertility and mortality and of future
population projections are also included.

Demographic zones in India. ISBN 81-7018-867-9. LC 95-900337.
1994. x, 288 pp. B. R. Publishing: Delhi, India. In Eng.
The
primary purpose of this volume is to bring together official data from
census publications, including those from the 1981 census, and other
sources to provide a statistical picture of the demographic diversity
of India at the district level. The authors suggest that one of the
main reasons for the relative failure of the national family planning
program has been its inability to take India's significant regional
demographic differences into account. They also conclude that the crux
of India's population problem lies in the four states of Bihar, Madhya
Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh. The data are presented
separately for mortality, age at marriage, fertility, birth order,
family planning, and literacy.

"Population estimates
are usually produced by local government administrations in Britain,
for each small area within their authority. Increasing interest has
been shown by commerce and by central government. Five main methods are
identified: apportionment, ratio change, additive change, cohort
survival, and local censuses. Estimation strategies also vary according
to available data, the detail in which a population is estimated, and
the precise combination of elements chosen from one or more of the main
methods. The use of methods at the beginning of the 1990s is surveyed
in this paper, and examples given. The accuracy of each main method is
quantified from empirical data collated by the Estimating with
Confidence project. Likely developments towards the end of the 1990s
are reviewed."

"Projecting populations that
have sparse or unreliable data, such as those of many developing
countries, presents a challenge to demographers. The assumptions that
they make to project data-poor populations frequently fall into the
realm of `educated guesses', and the resulting projections, often
regarded as forecasts, are valid only to the extent that the
assumptions on which they are based reasonably represent the past or
future, as the case may be. These traditional projection techniques do
not incorporate a demographer's assessment of uncertainty in the
assumptions. Addressing the challenges of forecasting a data-poor
population, we project the Iraqi Kurdish population using a Bayesian
approach. This approach incorporates a demographer's uncertainty about
past and future characteristics of the population in the form of
elicited prior distributions."

backdrop.) Unaccustomed as we may be to thinking about such a world,
its advent might not be that far off. The UN projections in question
imagine an indefinite demographic descent commencing just over 40 years
from now--a time at which most of the earth's current inhabitants will
likely still be alive."

projections are made in detail for 136 age, sex, race, or

generation ages, the median age of the labor force will rise to a new
record in 2006. It is also possible that the Hispanic labor force could
exceed that of blacks in size by that date.

Demographic trends in the 15 countries that currently make up the
European Union are analyzed over the period 1960-1995. Emphasis is on
the current age and sex distribution of the populations of these
countries and the implications for the future. The author concludes
that by 2005, the population of these 15 countries will only grow by
about 8 million, even taking immigration into account, and the combined
populations of the five countries best placed to join the European
Union in the near future will decline by about half a million over the
same period.

structure of employment [in the United States] at the major
occupational group level with the changes that occurred in the previous
10-year period, 1986-1996. It also identifies the detailed occupations
that are projected to grow at the fastest rate, as well as those with
the largest numerical increases, displaying the current educational
requirements and earnings of the occupations in each of these growth
categories. A discussion of the detailed occupations projected to have
the largest employment declines follows. Also discussed are the total
number of job openings projected to occur due to growth in the economy
and the net replacement needs resulting from workers who leave the
labor force or transfer to other occupations. The article concludes
with a discussion of the distribution of employment in the base year
(1996) and projected job openings by levels of education and
earnings."

The use
of microsimulation methods for making population projections is
examined. "A particular problem in microsimulation results from
the fact that the projections are subject to random variation. Various
sources of random variations are examined but the most important is the
one we refer to as specification randomness: the more explanatory
variables are included in the model, the greater the degree of random
variation affecting the output of the model. After a brief survey of
the microsimulation models which exist in demography, a number of the
essential characteristics of microsimulation are illustrated using the
KINSIM model for projecting the future size and structure of kinship
networks."
