[The demographic growth of native peoples in Canada in the twentieth century].

"After presenting the various concepts defining the native peoples (registered and non registered Indians, Metis, Inuit), the authors examine the geographical distribution of the native populations in 1981, and their growth since 1901. The evolution of the age structure is also considered, and compared to the one observed for the Canadian population as a whole. Finally, the components of demographic growth (fertility, mortality, migration, ethnic and linguistic mobility) are analysed. Results show that the growth rate of the native populations is much higher than the rate of the total Canadian population. This is mainly due to higher, but rapidly declining, fertility rates."

[Prehistoric population studies].

Studies concerning prehistoric populations in the Americas are discussed. "A review is made of research conducted in America focusing...on indigenous populations prior to contacts with Europeans, and those which, employing archaeological and historical sources, seek to evaluate the population and establish depopulation indexes for the said societies."

[The plural family in a rural African environment. An example of plantation economy: the Dayes plateau in Southwest Togo].

"Study of the transition to a plantation economy in populations on the Dayes plateau (SW Togo) shows the progressively preponderant role of the domestic group. Responsibility for production, for continuity of the labour force and for the demographic continuity of groups which used to be held by lineal authorities is now exercised at [the] domestic unit level. Although this results in greater autonomy for women, it also results in radical changes in the marriage rate. The loss of control of lineal structures over marriages appears to have led to increasing conjugal instability to link in particular with the number of unmarried couples. The authors carry out a comparative study of autochthonous groups (Ahlon and Ewe) and an immigrant group (Kabye) and study the consequences of this situation with regard to both demography and family structures. They show that autochthonous and immigrant groups are interdependent in the forming of demographic structures and report that there are many family models, essentially in the autochthonous population."

Demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of Korean Americans in the United States in 1980.

"Based on the analysis of 1980 [U.S. Census] Public-Use Microdata Samples, this article demonstrates that the Korean immigrant stream, particularly men, has been very selective even before the 1965 reform.... Despite the educational superiority and somewhat positive occupational position, Korean men in the U.S. are seriously disadvantaged in income regardless of nativity status. Korean Americans are not as successful as whites in translating their education into occupation and income; they are better educated for the same job, but experience a lower income return to the same education and the same occupation."

Occupational mobility of heads of households migrating to Medina.

"The aim of this study is to determine the effect of internal and external migration on the occupational mobility of the heads of households migrating to Medina [Saudi Arabia]....[It] is based on a survey of families in Medina which was conducted by the author in 1986/1987." The results show that "the majority of the migrants were able to achieve positive vocational mobility as a result of their migration. However, there are some distinctions in the extent of this positiveness between Saudi Arabian and non-Saudi Arabian migrants, as well as between urban and rural migrants.... The main factors affecting migration to Medina are difference in income, as well as in the educational level at origin and at destination."

[Economic consequences of migration for the domestic labor market].

"The purpose of this study was an evaluation of the labor market consequences of immigration. The European countries had substantial experiences with labor migration in recent years. The various theoretical channels how natives might be affected by foreign labor are discussed, especially the issue whether natives and foreigners are complements or substitutes. Most empirical studies for the U.S. confirm that the employment and wage processes of natives are hardly affected. However, recent investigations for Germany qualify these findings."

[Qualitative aspects of migration in Switzerland: structural analysis based on a 1990 consumer survey].

"The study compares the Swiss and the resident foreign population in Switzerland with respect to their qualitative composition. On the basis of the Consumer Survey 1990 by the Swiss Statistical Office, different structural features of the surveyed Swiss and foreign households are analysed. A comparison of these characteristics shows statistically significant differences in age, number of children, household size and household income." (SUMMARY IN ENG AND FRE)

[Foreigners and natives in Switzerland: demographic divergence and convergence].

The native and immigrant populations of Switzerland are examined and compared. "The latter represents today 18% of the total population and its age structure tends to draw nearer to that of the Swiss by an aging process. The sex ratio is much different in the two communities. In fact, the foreign population has a strong masculine predominance, especially among the holders of short duration permits. In addition, the diminution in the number of Italians and Spaniards goes with the arrival of the new nationalities (Yugoslavs, Portuguese and Turks) in the labour market and one can observe, as for the Swiss, that the foreign labour, generally speaking, joins more and more the tertiary industries."

[How immigration influences the national economic system of host countries: an empirical investigation for Switzerland].

"The study deals with the distributional effects of immigration into Switzerland. Focusing on the governmental budget, it explores empirically whether resident foreigners are a burden or a benefit for the Swiss public transfer system. The estimation is based on the Consumer Survey 1990 by the Swiss Statistical Office. It is shown that in 1990 the presence of foreigners has not put additional strain on the public coffers, but that, on the contrary, there was a beneficial financial effect for the natives. An analysis of this profitable immigration result shows the influence of the variables age (negative), number of children (negative), household income (positive) and qualification (positive)."

[External migration slows aging].

"In the Netherlands net [immigration] is larger for men than for women. Recently the mean age of the migrants has risen (at the moment the maximum is around 25 years). Most migrants are not married. The demographic characteristics of the migrants differ from the Dutch population.... Although external migration slows down the ageing of the Dutch population, it does not stop this process."

[The largest number of non-Dutch national immigrants in 1993 was born in one of the former Yugoslav republics].

The author reviews migration trends in the Netherlands since 1985. "In 1993 immigration amounted to 119 thousand, 2 thousand (i.e. 2.0%) more than the 1992 level.... According to [official] data...35 thousand non-Dutch nationals requested...asylum in 1993, 15 thousand more than in 1992. The (modest) increase in immigration was mainly caused by non-Dutch nationals born in one of the former Yugoslav republics and Somalia....The level of emigration amounted to 59 thousand, only a few hundred more than in 1992."

Birth spacing and child mortality in a Caribbean population.

Ten independent variables were used to predict death before the first birthday for 4411 births that took place from 1878 to 1976 to 978 women of native ancestry on the island of St. Barthélemy. Significant predictors of death include the death of the mother within a year, the birth year, multiple birth, whether the preceding child also died before 1 year of age, and whether the next child was conceived before the index child was 1 year old. Unlike most prior studies, birth-spacing variables were only weakly related to death in the first year. The relative absence of contraceptive techniques to control birth spacing in the study population and the use of vital records rather than survey data distinguish this project from others and may account at least partly for the unusual findings.
