[Population growth in Western Europe in 1994 continues to decrease].

"Fertility in most western [European] countries in 1994 decreased less than it did in 1993.... Monthly patterns show few births in most European countries in the second quarter of 1993 and in the third quarter of 1994." Information is also provided on mortality and life expectancy, natural increase, and migration. (SUMMARY IN ENG)

[Fewer births in Europe in 1993].

Data on births and deaths in the countries of Europe are presented and compared. "The number of births in Europe in 1993 is about 8.0 million, 4% less than in 1992. The number of deaths...rose slightly.... As a result the excess of births over deaths (in 1987 3.0 million persons, in 1992 0.6 million, compared with a total population of about 727 million) continued to decrease in 1993."

[Decreasing total fertility rates in Europe].

"Due to an almost overall decrease during the last four decades total (period) fertility rates have reached values below the replacement level of 2.07 in most European countries. Only in Albania (2.8 in 1991), on the Faroe Islands (2.7 in 1990) and Iceland (2.3 in 1992) the last known values are higher. In most other European countries values between 1.4 and 2.0 are registered, but in Italy, Spain and Germany the TFR is about 1.2. Especially in the former German Democratic Republic (0.7), San Marino and most northern Italian regions (1.0) the TFR is low." (SUMMARY IN ENG)

[Population forecasts for the Netherlands during the 1980s: how far were they wrong?].

An evaluation of the accuracy of the seven national population forecasts produced by the Netherlands Central Bureau of Statistics during the 1980s is presented. "Compared with the eight national forecasts made in the preceding three decades those of the 1980s were more successful. The number of live births in particular was forecasted better in the last decade. Regarding fertility of subsequent generations of women it was rightly assumed that: the numbers of children would decrease, [and] the ages at which women have their children would increase. Other assumptions made during the 1980s that turned out to be right were: increasing life expectancy at birth with a stable difference of about 6.5 years between the expectations for men and those for women, [and] continuing net immigration into the Netherlands."
