434 GENERAL POPULATION STUDIES AND THEORY

The directory is based on the results of a mail questionnaire survey of governmental and nongovernmental research centers, li- braries, and other organizations involved in population studies, family planning, or related fields. The first section of the directory is a listing of organizations by geographic area. Given are 500 names and addresses of organizations and, for 240 of these, additional information in some if not all of the following areas: establish- ment, administration, and affiliations of the organization; publications; library re- sources, publications, areas of specializa- tion, and extension services; information service. The second part of the directory is an alphabetical listing of the periodi- cal publications of the organizations listed. Five indexes are included: Names of organiza- tions [English and non-English names, abbrevi- ations]; Subject interests of organizations; Geographical interests of organizations; Library publications [acquisitions and serials lists, bibliographies]; Special collections of libraries [census and non- census materials].

A supplement to this edition has also been published (see Title 4013, this issue, Vol. 38) and a second and expanded edition is planned.

perspectives]. Amsterdam, Vrije Universiteit, 1971. 17 pp.

"The author distinguishes demography, a quantifying description of the population and of the demographic variables birth, death, immigration and departure, from demology, a science which embraces scien- tific research relating to the development of the population." [E.D.I.B. 3(2)]

A. 2 Theory

This section includes discussions of the main tenets of population and re- lated theory.

4015 Economic Affairs. [Calcutta] On demographic transition. Economic

Affairs (Calcutta) 17(5) :225-232. May 1972. Traces the change in population growth

from the late eighteenth century to the present and the effect of the change on the world's populations. Topics covered include: The demographic transition; Population trends in developing countries; Relative

growth rates of population and income; Effect on per capita incomes; Employment and income distribution; Estimating the effects; Other implications of population size. Tabular data are provided.

4016 Enke, Stephen, and Brown, Richard A. Economic worth of preventing death at

different ages in developing countries. Journal of Biosocial Science (London) 4(3): 299-306. July 1972.

Assumes real product of males and fe- males is equal, and uses labor-force partici- pation rates by age and sex "believed to be typical for South East Asia" to calculate hypothetical economic values of individuals at five-year age intervals. Gives "typical undiscounted average consumption and marginal product [the average product when national annual output is $150 per capita] per year for the age interval, together with the net contribution .., life expectancy at the end of each interval... [and] the undiscounted [and discounted] expected future positive or negative economic contribution[s] at each end age, taking account of life expectancy."

i. ... a population may exhibit increase as a consequence of factors other than that the number of children born per woman is higher than that which is required for reproduc- tion." Topics include: The effect of migra- tion; The effect of fertility change; The effect of mortality change; The transitional stage.

4018 Mode, Charles J. A study of a Malthusian parameter in re-

lation to some stochastic models of human reproduction. Theoretical Population Biolo- gy 3(3):300-323. Sept. 1972.

A Malthusian parameter stemming from the theory of generalized age-dependent branch- ing processes was studied in relation to a stochastic model of human reproduction in- volving a Markov renewal process describing patterns of pregnancies in cohorts of women as they occur in time. Means are suggested for applying the theories described to de- termine the influence of population policy on population growth.

couple fertility. Sankhya (Calcutta), Ser. B 33(3-4) :315-322. Dec. 1971.

"The paper deals with probability dis- tributions which utilize the observations on the various types of pregnancy termina- tions to a group of couples during time (0, T). A distinguishing feature of the models is that they utilize observations arranged in a multiple table providing more cells with significant number of ob- servations for estimating the fertility parameters. The application of the distri- butions has been illustrated."

A. 3 Interrelations with Other Disciplines

This section includes: interdisciplinary studies of demographic problems; studies of the interaction of demography with other disciplines.

stanovnistva [The tragedy of the commons and the world population year]. Stanov- nistvo (Belgrade) 9(1-2) :94-100. Jan.- June 1971. English summary.

"The author deals in his article with the purely economic aspect of the question on whether the behaviour of one person is liable to impinge on the legitimate rights and privileges of other citizens. Before treating this argument, the author emphasizes

the parallelism between the considerations applying to the interest of the individuum counter those of society and those refering to the relations between a sovereign state and the society of nations."

At the beginning of each chapter the definitions and fundamental concepts relevant to its theme are summarised, and then follows a series of exercises on it... .The remainder of the book sets out in detail the solutions of the exercises, so that the user is able to compare his own argument and calculations."
