[A significant increase in the number of never-married couples with children].

The author reports on the number of never-married couples with children in the Netherlands. "There are 2.4 million families with children, of which about 2 million [are] married couples. According to the 1994 National Household Forecasts these numbers will be nearly constant between 1995 and 2010.... It is expected that in the future the percentage of cohabiting couples that will marry when they want to have children will decrease. This is why the number of never married couples with children living at home will grow by 75% between 1995 and 2010." (SUMMARY IN ENG)

[The critical analysis of the Princeton indices (Ig, Im, If, Ih). A new proposal of measurements of the birth rate].

"The article highlights the problems of using the marital indices (Ig and I'g) developed for the European Fertility Project. The article points out that the information given by these indices is basically the same as the Total Marital Fertility Rate (all of them are calculated without considering the mean age at marriage). The author develops new indices that analyze marital fertility in combination with mean age at marriage [in Navarre, Spain]." (SUMMARY IN ENG AND FRE)

[Opinions on ideal number of children in selected European countries].

"Comparison of the opinions of 14 European countries' population on ideal number of children in the family recorded...in 1994...[shows] a considerable homogeneity of European countries, especially that of the young generation.... The [comparison indicated]...differences among individual countries, which issued from their own cultural and religious traditions. It was confirmed that...young Europeans share...the opinion that the childless life is not empty and dull and that the parents...need not try to keep the family together with respect to their children. This fact indicates, together with a low attractiveness of the institution of marriage, [continuation] of a low fertility level even in the future." (SUMMARY IN ENG)

Policy implications of indigenous population change, 1991-1996.

"Since 1971 the indigenous population of Australia has trebled. From 1991 to 1996 numbers grew by 33 percent, 16 percent more than had been projected. This unexpected increase was highest in the southeast, especially in Tasmania and the ACT. Much of it can be explained by out-marriage. In 1996, 64 percent of couples (in married or de facto relationships) included a non-indigenous partner. Most of the children from these intermixed relationships have been counted as indigenous persons in the Census."
