  • Social Distance and Asymmetry in Intermarriage Patterns

    H V Muhsam, Helmut MuhsamARTICLEJournal of Comparative Family…1990Cited by: 3

    Three theories are proposed to explain differences in the frequency of intermarriage. They focus on the social aspects of choosing a marriage partner. The theories are tested using data from the United States Brazil and Israel. (SUMMARY IN FRE AND SPA) (ANNOTATION)

  • Some principles of cost-benefit analysis of family planning services in developing countries

    H V Muhsam, Toni MontesinosARTICLEPopulation Studies1975References: 8

    A number of controversial issues are discussed, relating to the assessment of both costs and benefits of family planning services. All costs and benefits, whether accruing to society or the parents of the child whose birth is averted, and the child itself, should be included in the analysis, even if they cannot easily be measured or appear as externalities. Different rates of interest to be used in discounting to obtain present values apply to va…

  • The Marriage Squeeze

    Open AccessH V MuhsamARTICLEDemography1974Cited by: 15References: 4

    If the sex-age structure of the population is equilibrated, observed marriage patterns are assumed to reflect preferred mate selections. With regard to age, these preferences can be expressed in terms of the probabilities of unmarried persons of given ages marrying persons of various ages. To study the situation of unequilibrated sexes, these probabilities can be used to compute, for each combination of ages of groom and bride, the expected numbe…

  • A World Population Policy for the World Population Year

    Open AccessH V MuhsamARTICLEJournal of Peace Research1973References: 1

    World population problems have remained the con cern of demographers and historians. Even today, when politicians or international organizations deal with such questions, they consider them either an individual and personal, or a specifically internal and national problem, rather than viewing the population issue from a global perspective. The author argues that individual and national population decisions impinge on broader interests- illustrate…

  • Sur les relations entre la croissance de la population et le développement économique

    Open AccessH V MuhsamARTICLEPopulation1970

    Les relations entre la croissance de la population et l'évolution économique (en particulier celle du niveau de vie) ont depuis longtemps soulevé de vives controverses et donné lieu à des théories divergentes, sinon opposées. Les recherches actuelles sont surtout orientées en vue de l'application aux pays en voie de développement, lesquels connaissent presque tous une croissance très rapide de la population. Nombreuses sont les personnes qui conc…

  • Population estimates based on census enumeration and coverage check

    H V MuhsamARTICLEPopulation Studies1960

    No population survey is exempt from omissions and erroneous inclusions. This is also true for post-enumeration surveys, performed in order to check the reliability of a census count. It is therefore a dangerous procedure to rely on such a check as if it were perfectly correct. It can, however, be shown that, under certain reasonable assumptions, three consecutive enumerations of the same population, a census, a census check and a check on the che…

  • Fertility of polygamous marriages

    H V MuhsamARTICLEPopulation Studies1956

    This paper discusses the suitability of data on the fertility of polygamous marriages for drawing inferences on the effect of coital frequency on fertility. The author concludes that it may be possible to utilise these data, provided polygamous husbands distribute their sexual activity among all their wives, so that coital frequency for a polygamous wife is lower than that of a monogamous one. Polygamous Arab Beduin may be supposed to have interc…

    H V MuhsamARTICLEPopulation Studies1951Cited by: 2References: 1

    A number of inquiries relating to the fertility of the nomadic Arab inhabitants of Palestine are described. From an examination of the results the author reaches the conclusion that the fertility of the nomadic Arabs is slightly lower than that of the settled Moslem inhabitants of Palestine
