The political history of Kampuchea in the decade of the 1970s is characterized by successive waves of civil war revolution and invasion. The demographic history of this same period is characterized by excess mortality from war from massacres and executions and from famine; by forced migrations and flight of refugees; and by greatly reduced birth rates. Focusing on the period since the defeat of the Lon Nol government by the Khmer Rouge in 1975 this article pieces together available data on the impact of the years of political and social upheaval on demographic trends in the country. The end-of-year 1979 Kampuchean population is estimated at between 5 and 6 million--5 million less that the figure projected for 1979 in 1970 assuming normal conditions. (Authors)
