[Population policies and intervention on natality in Eastern Europe (Part 1)].

This is an overview of population policies and their underlying doctrines in Eastern European countries since World War II. The author describes three chronological stages: "an orthodox populationist stage, from 1945 to 1955...; a phase of liberalization of abortion and at times of contraception from 1955 to 1965; and from this latter date, as a reaction against the accelerated decline of fertility, a phase of abortion and divorce restriction and of growing aid to family, likewise [marked] by the creation of National Population Committees and Institutes of Demographic Research." The countries of Eastern Europe are divided into three classifications: those with no population policy (Albania only); those with indirect measures, including Poland, Yugoslavia, and the USSR; and those with explicit, quantitative demographic goals, including Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, the German Democratic Republic, Hungary, and Romania. The effectiveness of selected population policies is assessed. (SUMMARY IN ENG)

[The impact on nuptiality of unbalanced sex distribution in the marriage market. Interpretation problems].

"The impact of sex disparities in numbers on the various sex specific ratios, traditionally used in nuptiality analysis, is not clear. Most authors consider that individuals pertaining to the sex group which is in minority on the marriage market, will tend to marry sooner and at [a] higher rate, and vice versa. There are however many counter-examples. Actually, a comparative analysis of the various results obtained so far is meaningless. There is indeed no agreement on the definition of the marriage market and the unbalance of sexes, nor on the way to measure it." The focus of the study is worldwide, with emphasis on data concerning Canada. (SUMMARY IN ENG AND SPA)

[A class of models to discriminate ancient populations under the bio-demographic aspect. The link of the "Partecipanze"].

"The paper is concerned with the problem of discriminating two ancient populations with respect to the presence of the 'Istituto delle Partecipanze', a sort of collective property of the land, beginning in 1253 in some areas of the Emilia region. A time series analysis on the marriages registered in the last four centuries has been performed and different classes of the ARIMA models have been fitted to the data. The results give evidence to the heterogeneous development that characterizes the two populations in some aspects of the their bio-demographic history." (SUMMARY IN ENG AND FRE)

American children in multiracial households.

This study provides a demographic portrait of multiracial households, using children as the units of analysis. The authors conceptualize 3 dimensions for understanding multiracial qualities: 1) the racial composition of a household overall, 2) where in the household a racial difference exists relative to the household head, and 3) where in the household a racial difference exists relative to each child. Using microdata from the 1980 US census, the authors explore the 1st 2 of these dimensions and test 2 propositions about the links between racial diversity and other nonracial attributes of children's household environments. The finding is made, among other things, that the largest proportion of children live in Asian-white households, and that about 60% live in households headed by mixed-race couples. Support for the notion that attributes of multiracial households fall between those of their same-race counterparts was mixed. Nonetheless, there appears to be a link between location of diversity and some nonracial characteristics of household.
