Aging in Contemporary India
Problems related to aging in India are not yet as serious as those in Japan and Western countries, but the proportion of elderly in India has been increasing. The population aged 60 years and older increased from 19.9 million in 1951 to 41.1 million in 1981 and currently numbers more than 45 million. Very little is known about the means of livelihood of the elderly population, the composition of households in which they live, their degree of fina…

Demographic Transition in a Punjab Village
Manupur, one of the more than a half-million villages of India, has acquired a special place in the field of population. Mahmood Mamdani's 1972 book, The Myth of Population Control, ' based on a microdemographic study of this village in the early 1970s, has had a strong influence on thinking about population policy in India as well as internationally. It expressed forcefully the fashionable view of the early 1 970s that family planning programs a…
Population Growth
The world population was 4.5 billion in 1981; it will be 6.1 billion in the year 2000 and probably over 9 billion by 2050; most of the worlds population will be concentrated in Africa Latin America and Asia. Even if the overall worlds growth rate is probably as low as 1.7% due to fertility decrease in all developing countries the yearly absolute increase in population is continuing to rise. The worlds birth rate is currently around 28/1000 and de…
An Anthropological Approach to the Study of the Economic Value of Children in Java and Nepal [and Comments and Reply]
This paper seeks to test the assumption of the microeconomic theory of fertility that the economic value of children is a factor influencing fertility behavior of parents in peasant societies. On the basis of anthropological investigation in one village in Java and one in Nepal, the average amount of time spent by children in different types of activities-both household-maintenance and directly productive-is estimated directly. The support provid…

Factors Affecting Human Fertility in Non Industrial Societies
How Modernization Can Also Increase Fertility [and Comments and Reply]
Industrialization, urbanization, and other associated processes of modernization generally lead to a reduction of fertility through the practice of birth control (contraception and induced abortion) and delayed age at marriage. The evidence reviewed in this paper demonstrates that these same processes may also have some fertility-increasing effects. Birth rate data for a few countries in Latin America, Africa, and Asia clearly exhibit an increase…
Anthropology and Demography
Why Some of the Poor Get Richer
To the extent that peasants, particularly Indian peasants, are ever considered to be economically mobile, they are generally seen from one of two perspectives: either the Malthusian perspective, which predicts that most landholdings will shrink over time, due to partitioning among multiple heirs; or the Marxian perspective, which predicts that a few landholdings will increase in size at the expense of the vast majority-the latter diminishing, in …

Anthropology and population
This paper reviews some important contributions which have been already made or can be made by cultural anthropologists in the three areas of population study: (1) long-term history of population dynamics; (2) demographic processes in 'primitive' and peasant societies; and (3) population (size, density and pressure) and culture. Anthropological evidence questioning the validity of the human population growth curve usually presented by demographer…

Promiscuity and Fertility
Recently, Greenfield has invoked the “Bruce effect‘ (pregnancy block caused by odors from a strange male) in mice and studies on antisperm antibodies in the serum of prostitutes as support for the hypothesis that promiscuity reduces the fertility of women. This paper disagrees with Greenfield's interpretation and explains why it is invalid to extrapolate such findings in mice to the human condition. Reference is made to studies of human populatio…
