The population of Latin America, 1930–1990
In the sixty years from 1930 to 1990 the population of Latin America more than quadrupled – from approximately no million to almost 450 million. Population growth was higher in Latin America than in any other region of the world except, marginally, Africa (see Table 1.1). Though average population density in Latin America remained low in comparison with other areas, this was misleading because of the way in which population was distributed. The b…
The population of Latin America, 1930–1990
In the sixty years from 1930 to 1990 the population of Latin America more than quadrupled – from approximately 110 million to almost 450 million. Population growth was higher in Latin America than in any other region of the world except, marginally, Africa (see Table 1.1). Though average population density in Latin America remained low in comparison with other areas, this was misleading because of the way in which population was distributed. The …
Demographic Change and the American Future
The essays in this volume analyze the growing stresses of demographic trends in the United States and their implications for policymakers. They describe projections for U.S. birth rates, changing family patterns, age-dependency ratio, immigration, geographical distribution, income distribution, and international standing. This book was published under the auspices of the Committee for Economic Development in Washington, DC
The Demography of Inequality in Brazil
Teaching Applied Demography
The growing and diversified uses of demographic information in planning, evaluation, resource allocation, and marketing decisions for business and public administration have helped to create a subfield in demography that has been labeled Two committees were formed in the Population Association of America (State and Local Demography and Business Demography) and have been meeting for several years to discuss data availability, methodological develo…
The effect of piped water on early childhood mortality in Urban Brazil, 1970 to 1976
The effects of access to piped water on the trends in child mortality and on differentials by income class are analyzed using data on surviving children and other variables in samples of urban mothers aged 20–29 in 1970 and 1976. Path analytic regression techniques are used to test a recursive model linking the supply and demand for piped water to selected household and community level variables, and to examine their joint effect on child mortali…

Fertility and land availability in rural Brazil
Differences between the marital fertility of the agricultural frontier and that of the more settled rural areas of southern Brazil are analyzed in this paper. Fertility rates derived from 1970 census data appear to decrease as the degree of settlement increases, suggesting an experience parallel to the decline in U.S. rural fertility in the late nineteenth century, which Easterlin and others have attributed to increased scarcity of land for start…
Case Studies in Bioethics: International Population Programs: Should They Change Local Values
Population, Development, and Planning in Brazil
The Brazilian government has traditionally been opposed to population control programs but there is now a variety of official opinion on the issue. The 1968-1973 period was 1 of rapid economic growth for Brazil so that the rapidly increasing population caused no problems. A series of population models and projections indicate that 3 decades of rapid population growth have not adversely affected national economic development. The addition to the e…
Interregional Differences in Fertility in Brazil, 1950–1970
Trends and interregional differences in the birth rate in Brazil between 1950 and 1970 are examined. Estimates are based on data from the 1950 and 1970 censuses. Regional differences in birth measures (crude and general rates) were found to widen between 1950 and 1970 despite a decline in fertility at the national level and a narrowing of regional differences in important socioeconomicvariables like income and urbanization, The substantial interr…
