of children ever born among married Egyptian women by socioeconomic
characteristics and place of residence, per capita public expenditure
on population programs for selected countries, quality of life indexes,

Greenwood Press: Westport, Connecticut/London, England. In Eng.
This chapter is concerned with the responsibility of wealthy
countries toward the formulation and implementation of population
policies in developing countries. The moral issues involved are first
reviewed. The utilitarian, or economic, approach to the analysis of
the relationship between population and development is then considered,
and the Heckscher-Ohlin and Keynesian growth models are introduced.
The author concludes that although developed countries have a right to
offer assistance to developing countries to help reduce their rate of
population growth, the most effective intervention is likely to be in
easing market conditions for trade between the countries concerned
rather than in supporting family planning
programs.

the goals of Romanian population policy--increased fertility, decreased

effective, although their aims so far have been largely
non-demographic....Both pronatalist and migration strategies tend to
conflict with other policies (social and economic policies,
emancipation or housing policies), and to be in competition with the
demands of an ageing society. Limits to the development or expansion

"This paper aims at evaluating the effectiveness of China's urban
policies by investigating the temporal and spatial dynamics of the size
distribution of China's cities during the period 1922-82. The research
framework--which is based on a function relating population size to
rank--is used to test for trends of deconcentration (where smaller
cities grow faster than larger cities) and spatial decentralization
(with a more even spatial distribution) of population over the study
period....The findings show that from 1953 to 1970 there was
significant population deconcentration, which appeared to be reversed
subsequently. However, policies of spatial decentralization were not
found to be successful. Among the reasons suggested for the apparent
failure are political upheavals and shifts in policies, the inertia
within the urban system, the harsh physical environment in the
interior, and current trends in economic policies that focus on the
coastal areas."

"The policy
alternative of a selective immigration policy is studied here with a
two-country economic growth model: one country is rich, with a low
rate of population growth. The other is poor with a high population
growth rate. The model distinguishes three factors of production
(physical capital, skilled and unskilled labour). With a
constant-returns-to-scale technology the factors are employed to
produce one good. The welfare effects are considered both for the
country of emigration and of immigration....The analysis shows that
migration of skilled labour between countries with different population
growth rates has three effects. These are the effects of changes in the
effective population growth rate, a free rider effect in the country of
immigration and a capital substitution effect. The latter implies that
physical capital investment by rich countries in poor countries
declines with immigration. The net result of these effects in terms of
welfare of each of the countries and total world welfare depends
heavily on the technologies in use and the cost of
training."

The mass expulsions of
illegal immigrants that have taken place in recent years in Western
Africa are examined, with particular reference to those in Ghana in
1969 and Nigeria in 1983. The author considers "the context within
which they have taken place, including some of the longterm causes, and
the systematic nature of the migrations which preceded them; the ways
in which these have been handled by the states concerned; and their
implications for the rights and status of migrants as a particular form
of exploited labour within the development process in the
subregion."
