Population Growth Impacts of Zero Net International Migration
Population Growth Impacts of Zero Net International Migration
Natural increase, and net international migration are the demographic processes that determine the amount of growth or decline in a nation's population. In a country such as the United States, the contribution of net international migration to overall population change overshadows the contribution of natural increase. It has long been the practice, however, when making population projections for countries, to consider the role of zero net interna…

Peaceful Invasions. Immigration and Changing America
Remarkable shifts in the demographic behavior of Americans have occurred over the past two decades. In this process, immigration interacts with fertility and mortality rates to determine the size and composition of the population. Peaceful Invasions outlines arguments for an immigration policy that will not lead to an ever-growing United States population and which will ease the process of cultural adjustment for newcomers. Such an immigration po…

The Demography of Refugees
This article focuses on the numbers of refugees in the world by major areas. It gives some background on refugee movements and characteristics in order to suggest parameters of future movements, and especially of those that may have implications for the United States with respect to (1) assistance programs in situ or (2) acceptance of refugees into the United States
Immigration and the Stable Population Model
This paper reports on work aimed at extending stable population theory to include immigration. Its central finding is that, as long as fertility is below replacement, a constant number and age distribution of immigrants (with fixed fertility and mortality schedules) lead to a stationary population. Neither the level of the net reproduction rate nor the size of the annual immigration affects this conclusion; a stationary population eventually emer…

The three R's: Residence, religion, and reproduction
Survey research data collected in Rhode Island over a three year interval are used to test six propositions: 1) Suburbanites have higher family size than central city residents. 2) Any differences in family size between Catholics and non-Catholics are larger in central city than in suburban areas. 3) Within religious categories, suburbanites attend church more regularly. 4) Among Catholics, suburban residence is associated with less frequent Comm…

The Fertility of Rhode Island Catholics: 1968-1969
This is an analysis of fertility differentials between Catholics and non-Catholics in Rhode Island. Representative samples of the population were derived and interviews conducted in 1968 and 1969. Although Catholics exhibit higher fertility expectation than do non-Catholics, differences are smaller than those observed in earlier national surveys. Furthermore, Catholics indicate an increasing tendency to practice birth control, though not to the e…
A Genealogical Approach to the Study of French-Canadian Fertility 1650-1950
Demographic data from the genealogy of one French-Canadian family extending from 1650 to 1950 were utilized for computing fertility statistics for the French-Canadian ethnic group in both Canada and the United States. These findings were then compared to available information for French Canada in an attempt to determine the validity of this methodology in deriving demographic statistics. This comparison led to the conclusion that, whenever offici…

The Spacing of Births Among French‐Canadian Families: An Historical Approach
Utilisant la généalogie d'une seule famille‐souche canadienne‐française de 1650 à 1950, l'auteur compare l'intervalle entre les naissances dans la branehe canadienne et dans la branche américaine de cette famille. Indépendamment de la taille des families, l'intervalle s'accroit au cours des ans du côté américain. Une croissance de l'espacement ne se produit pas, par ailleurs, du côté canadien. II appert done que l'espacement progressif des naissa…

Randomly selected female respondents numbering 367 Catholics and 148 non-Catholics once married under age 50 and living with their husbands were questioned on contraceptive usage. Result…

Changes in the use of oral contraceptives by Rhode Island women between 1967 and 1970
This study is based on results of the Rhode Island Health Survey which was conducted by the Population Research Laboratory of Brown University during the falls of 1967 1968 and 1969 when 3 independent population samples were interviewed. The experimental design called for each of the samples to be reinterviewed once a year following the initial interview. The last completed follow-up was in the fall of 1970. The woman at each interview was under …
