results such as the proportion of recent provincial population growth
which is occurring in the uplands. Within the limitations of the
available data, the study also addresses the question of upland

"Birth, death, and relocation are major life events. Whether
in modern Western Europe or in the traditional society of the
Teminabuan population (a rural society in Irian Jaya, Indonesia), these
events constitute three milestones in a lifetime. Choosing a partner
and (generally) opting for parenthood, the desire to protect children
and other close relatives from illness and death, as well as decisions
involving relocation and the adjustments such a move requires, are
events we all face in life. How we deal with these `challenges' is
determined by the characteristics of the society in which we live, the
prevailing norms and attitudes. The specific combination of these
factors, together with the people's own free-will, influence the final
(birth, death, migration) outcome. The understanding of demographic
features such as fertility, mortality, and migration therefore entails
more than simply quoting statistics. It requires a study of the
background variables. This study presents the figures as well as the
direct and indirect determinants of fertility, mortality, and
migration, as found in the present-day Teminabuan subdistrict, a
previously uncharted area. This data demonstrates how the study
population deals with their challenges in
life."

regional differences in population trends and spatial distribution, as
well as the dynamics of the population of the major metropolitan area
around Mexico City and the rural and indigenous populations. The third
part analyzes the dynamics of specific age groups, including the young
adult population aged 15-24 and the population over age 65. The fourth
and final section reviews national programs in the area of population
information, communication, and distribution.

This is an analysis of
demographic trends in the Mexican state of Mexico for the period
1950-1980. The first chapter examines economic trends in Mexico during
this period and how they affected the demography of the state,
particularly in-migration. The next chapter looks at regional
inequalities and their effect on migration. The reasons why certain
regions lost population in this period and others, such as Mexico City
and Toluca, gained population are analyzed. The third chapter focuses
on the relationship between migration and social well-being, examining
how employment opportunities can define the quality of life and noting
that employment opportunities, or the lack of them, are the driving
force behind migration.

middle of the 1980s, signs of the degradation of economic, social,
political and environmental equilibrium began appearing in Rwanda.
Behind the political sphere of the recent events, demographic pressure
is often invoked as being responsible for all the ills. Still, the
multiple symptoms do nothing more than reflect the complexity of a
crisis that affects all sectors of the rural world. Conducted
successively via the use of demographic parameters and those of the
organization of agricultural space, this study seeks to analyse the
changes in peasant strategies in order to understand the stakes
involved in the dynamics of the rural
system."

This is one in a series of reports, mandated by
French law, that review the current demographic situation in France.
The first part contains a description of recent trends in metropolitan
France, with sections on fertility, induced abortion, marriage, and
mortality. The second part, which is divided into three sections, looks
at couples in the modern world. The sections examine trends over the
past 50 years, current marriage patterns, and alternatives to the
traditional couple.

regions and between the communities. Major improvements have occurred
in life expectancy and fertility. It is doubtless in educational
attainment that the disparities have been reduced the least in ten
years, including among young people. The aid which accompanied the
Matignon Agreements has on the whole been beneficial to economic
activity in the Territory, though the imbalances have tended to
increase. Immigrants...have settled, mainly in the region of Noumea,
which has experienced the strongest growth in employment in both
relative and absolute terms...."

The authors examine whether the
problems that India faces in adding an additional 500 million to its
population over the next 50 years will be harder to manage than adding
650 million over the last 50 years. They conclude that "many of
India's problems are due to social and economic conditions and policy
failure rather than to rises in population. More environmentally
friendly food production, more efficient use of water, and reduced
pollution are urgently needed and for the most part affordable. The
fertility decline needs to be accelerated by improving literacy and
child survival and extending family planning services; there is no case
for draconian measures."

population dynamics and growth, marriages, births, deaths,
international and internal migration, households, age structure, and
abortion. Germany's population increased slightly in 1997 due to a
small migration surplus; the eastern states experienced a population
decline. Marriages dropped, births increased, deaths decreased, and the
number of households grew, as did the number of one-person, childless,
and one-parent households. Divorce rates reached a new high for the
western states.

The case
is made that most development plans currently being made in the Pacific
Island countries ignore demographic factors. "It is not always
lack of basic and timely data that accounts for this malaise, as is
evident from a myriad of demographic indicators reported by a variety
of government agencies and regional and international organisations.
However, these often manage to portray quite different demographic
scenarios using identical data sources. This paper examines the
institutional and methodological context within which Pacific island
population data are collected and demographic information is produced.
It concludes by discussing ways in which demography and demographers
can contribute towards more realistic planning and policymaking in the
Pacific."

added over the 20-year period 1995-2015. The additional population will
be concentrated in the working ages and among the elderly. In many
countries of the region--for example, Thailand, Indonesia and
Vietnam--there will be little or no further growth in the number of
children and adolescents.... Although South-East Asia remains one of
the world's least urbanized regions, urbanization is increasing rapidly
and the region contains some of the world's largest cities. Because of
wide differences between countries in the mortality and fertility
transition, levels of urbanization, systems of governance, and ethnic
and cultural background, the key issues facing population policy and
approaches to dealing with them remain
diverse."

The author argues that the transplantation of European
industrial methods of production to colonial third-world countries in
the late nineteenth and early twentieth century caused a population
explosion there, as the colonial powers reduced mortality in an effort
to secure the labor force. Continuing high endemic fertility, however,
along with problems in the adoption of European-style family planning,
led to an imbalance in the dynamics of the population. The last part of
the article discusses problems such as emigration, famine,
environmental destruction, unemployment, and pauperization, which, it
is argued, result from high population growth in a context of
insufficient development.

"Basic indicators show that the Croatian population has
characteristics similar to those in other European countries. After
1971 the population increase fell off considerably, the birth rate
decreased, and the population grew much older. The authors pay special
attention to the period of war and population loss after 1991, when the
rate of natural population increase became negative. This led to a
population decrease independent of migration and war losses. Conditions
are worse in rural and mountain regions, which have been exposed to
depopulation for a long time, and have recently been going through real
social and demographic collapse."

"The basic aim of the project would be to establish whether the

countries (in the last third) of the 20th century should be interpreted
as a temporary phenomenon of little long term consequence, or as a
reflection of a new stage in Western civilization.... The project
should be broad in scope and not deal with fertility in isolation from
courtship, sexual behaviour, contraception, partner relations, the
family, leaving home, and related life course events. It should try and
understand the interrelation and sequence of these different
phenomena."
