The authors comment on the low and high variants of official population projections for Czechoslovakia up to the year 2010. They also consider more long-term projections to 2030 and the methodology used in making official projections. The differences between the variants are significant: the low projection involves an actual decline in population a...

"In this paper we first formulate the dynamics of multistate stable population processes as a partial differential equation. Next, we rewrite this equation as an abstract differential equation in a Banach space, and solve it by using the theory of strongly continuous semigroups of bounded linear operators. Subsequently, we investigate the asymptoti...

This indicator is developed using multidimensional analysis based on taxonomic methods. It is applied to the analysis of regional demographic trends in Bulgaria from 1975 to 1986. (SUMMARY IN E...

"This paper describes a procedure for estimating intercensal age schedules of rates of occurrence of demographic events (birth, death, marriage) from tabulations at two points in time of a status of the population (average children ever born, persons surviving, proportion ever married) classified by age." The procedure is called iterative intracoho...

Researchers studied sociocultural characteristics of successive acceptors from 5 diverse geographic and cultural programs that teach the ovulation method (OM). The programs were in Bangladesh, India, Kenya, South Korea, and the United States. Acceptors who professed Catholicism as their religion ranged from 87% in Kenya to 34% in Bangladesh. The pe...

A researcher analyzed 1976 and 1978 data on 414 rural women who had never used a family planning method to prevent pregnancy and lived in the predominantly Catholic island province of Bohol in the Philippines to look at the influence certain aspects of the family planning program, begun in 1976, as predictors of changes in contraceptive behavior. 3...

Researchers analyzed 1983 data on 3644 ever married 15-49 year old women living in Mindanao, a traditionally Muslim dominated area, in the Philippines to look at differentials in socioeconomic and demographic factors between migrant and nonmigrant women. When they controlled for other variables, differentials existed only for place of residence, re...
