Population growth in predominantly Islamic countries is explored, with a focus on Egypt. The author finds that "if its current rate of increase continues...Egypt's population will increase by an average of one and a half million a year requiring food, housing, education, health services, and other needs." The case is made for the immediate implementation of an effective family planning program.

"This article reports on three Household Scenarios for the countries of the European Union.... These scenarios predict the numbers of persons living alone, living with a partner, living as a child at the parental home and living in another household position, as well as the institutional population. The period covered is 1995-2025. In all three scenarios, the number of persons living alone will grow.... The total number of households increases in all scenarios, whereas the average household size will decline in all scenarios."

"The questions asked in many population censuses on place-of-residence at one or several fixed past dates allow the number of migrants during a specific period of time to be calculated. However, the questions asked in the censuses are retrospective, so that the migrants who died or emigrated abroad during the period considered are not included. There is no way of estimating the number of migrants who emigrated abroad; on the other hand, a simple method is available to estimate the number of migrants who died. In this paper this method of estimation is applied to data from the Italian censuses of 1971 and 1981." (SUMMARY IN ENG AND FRE)
"Population counts for small areas, as in a census, are directly affected by the rules that determine where each person is to be counted. Clear rules are needed for groups such as migratory workers, persons whose work requires long absences from the family home, homeless persons, military personnel, persons maintaining two or more homes, persons in hospitals, correctional, or other institutions, crews of sea-going vessels, and others. The rules may have a bearing on family and household statistics and statistics on socioeconomic status as well as on counts of numbers of people."
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."

"This paper describes a new method for indirectly estimating age schedules of net migration. The method is illustrated with historical data for the United States. The analysis employs a recently developed technique--iterative intracohort interpolation--to estimate age schedules of net migration from pairs of enumerations of the foreign born by age. The data required for this application are enumerations of the foreign born (or more generally of those born outside the enumeration area) by age in two successive censuses, a life table presumed to reflect the mortality experience of the foreign born during the intercensal period, and, optionally, data on variations in the overall level of migration during the intercensal period. The procedure provides estimates of the average annual number of foreign born net migrants during a decade by their age at the time of entry/exit." (SUMMARY IN ITA AND FRE)
