A method of estimating infant deaths in Korea.

"The goal of this project was to develop a new method for estimating infant deaths in [South] Korea. An attempt was made to collect information on real infant death cases by using...medical insurance benefit data and by conducting a medical facilities survey, which allows us to [trace] back the fate of the births from the delivery. Another strategy employed was the gathering of information on infant deaths from the various existing sources and integrating them into one set after adjusting for overlapping cases among the sources."

A new method for estimating the trend in the fertility rate.

"This article describes the method devised by Gerard Calot...for estimating monthly TPFRs [total period fertility rates] when only provisional monthly figures for numbers of births are available. The application of the Calot method, together with the US Bureau of the Census X-11 seasonal adjustment package, for computing the trend in the England and Wales fertility rate is also described."

[Projection of primary school enrollments for the Taiwan-Fukien area, 1983-1987].

A projection of the population of school age in Taiwan is presented for the period 1983 to 1987. Special emphasis is given to the effects of recent fertility trends on educational needs. The projections include information on "(1) births corresponding to each academic year, (2) the survival ratio from birth to age at entrance, (3) projections of the grade 1 enrollments, (4) estimates of median grade-to-grade progression ratios, (5) primary school enrollments at each grade, (6) annual increase of students, (7) annual increase in number of classes, and (8) annual increase of teachers." The implications for future government spending are considered. Changes in educational plans to conform to available resources are discussed. (summary in ENG)

[Population and employment in Latin America].

Both high rates of labor force growth and large dependency ratios are forecast in this paper for the countries of Latin America in the 1990s. The author concludes that "population and employment problems must be given high priority in bilateral negotiations and/or with international organizations when deciding upon structural adjustment strategies."

[[The population of Thailand after the reproductive revolution]].

The "population of Thailand is one among the few population groups in [modern times] which has experienced [a] rapid decline in fertility level within two decades. Thailand's population completed the reproductive revolution process so quickly that its age structure has not had time to adjust and still holds the potential for growth for several decades to come.... During the period of reproductive revolution from 1970 to 1990, the population increased by 20 million.... As for the effect of reproductive revolution on the age structure of the population, the pattern is that the proportion of children (under 15 years of age) declines while the number and proportion of population in working-age group (15-59 years of age) and the elderly (60 years and over) tend to increase.... The reproductive revolution also results in a number of positive economic and social implications such as a higher per capita income, [a larger] work force, a gradual reduction in the number of new entrants into the labour market and the decrease in the number of school age population."

[[A critical period in the evolution of the population of Thailand]].

"The paper, based on population projections for Thailand...examines the growth and the structure of the Thai population between 1990 and 2115. The projections are prepared on the basis of the sex and age distribution of the 1990 population.... The study concludes that in order to maintain...economic and social prosperity, security and [prevent] the eradication of the Thai race, the government will have to raise fertility of the population at least up to the replacement level."

[An optimum population for Thailand].

"In Thailand to date, the systematic analysis to determining an appropriate size of the population using economic, social, political and cultural criteria has not been attempted, let alone conducting a research on an optimum population. What have been made to date are analyses indicating that the rate of population growth at certain [periods] tends to be too low or too high...thus leading to the policy to increase or reduce the rate of population growth. Difficulties in determining an optimum population [are] due to the dynamic nature of population development and the fact that all other factors affecting the welfare of population are always changing, [thus] it is not cost effective to conduct research for determining an optimum population for the purpose of policy formulation."
