Population Studies And Demography

The study of populations, including their size, structure and transformations, and overview of population processes: how populations grow and change over time - fertility, mortality, and migration. But it has been shown that reductions in child mortality can induce a demographic transition. Demography deals with human populations; the statistical analysis of births, deaths, migrations, disease, fertility, growth and economic issues, as illustrating the conditions of life in communities. Social demography is an area of inquiry which seeks to understand the causes and consequences of population and demographic change by examining sociological and also economic variables.

According to 2019 statistics of India, Only 6.38 percent were over 65 years of age. In many developed countries the average inhabitant is about 20 years older. 26.62 percent of the Indian population fell into the 0-14 year category. 67 percent are in the 15-64 age group. U.S. Population Over Last Decade Grew at Slowest Rate Since 1930s.

Connections: Demography and Sociology in Twentieth Century Canada - Sylvia T. Wargon.

Abstract: Specific areas are highlighted in which demography can be shown to have benefited the conduct of sociological research, and the sociology departments in Canadian universities housing demography programs and courses from the 1960s.

These specific areas include: demography’s empirical, statistical and methodological features, its international reach, its interdisciplinary dimension, its planning and policy-making realms, and lastly, the initiatives taken to enhance demography’s role as a national discipline in Canada. It is hoped that demography will continue to inform Canada’s social sciences and sociology in particular as the twenty first century unfolds.

Implications of economic reform and spatial mobility for fertility in Vietnam
MICHAEL J. WHITE, YANYI K. DJAMBA & DANG NGUYEN ANH.
Vietnam has registered a dramatic decline in fertility during the last decades. While the causes of such a sustained decline are still not well documented, many observers believe that government policies adopted in the 1980s have contributed to lower fertility. This article focuses on the implications of the Doi Moi program of market reforms on fertility, taking into account the influences of migration and population policy.

"Europe, Africa, and International Migration: An Uncomfortable Triangle of Interests" - Kimberly A. Hamilton. - Arguing that research on migration and the state has focused primarily on receiving states, this paper places sending and receiving states in a dynamic historical context within which states strive to protect political, economic, and socio-cultural interests.

War, Famine, and Female Migration in Ethiopia, 1960 - 1989
Betemariam Berhanu and Michael White - Brown University.
Introduction: Few other events disrupt the social order as much as do civil war and famine. Their catastrophic nature compromises social scientists’ ability to measure and understand them as the investigator often must work with piecemeal archival, journalistic, or eyewitness accounts. Direct and indirect measures of mortality and fertility give some sense of the scale of the conflict and disruption but offer only an incomplete view of the pattern of social dislocation.

Judging Not Only by Color: Ethnicity, Nativity, and Neighborhood Attainment
Michael J. White, Brown University, Sharon Sassier, Ohio State University.
Objective. We examine hypotheses derived from theories of structural assimilation and spatial mobility to study the residential attainment of white ethnics, blacks, Asians, and Hispanics in the United States. We examine how immigrant status, ethnicity, and individual and family characteristics predict socioeconomic neighborhood outcome.
