Abstract:
Hispanics have had a demographic impact on the United States far beyond their relative importance within the total population because of their high fertility rates. In fact, it is quite clear that the United States would have had below population replacement rates of reproduction in the past few decades had it not been for the contribution of the Hispanic population, and above all Mexicans and Central Americans. When the Center for Disease Control first began enumerating Hispanic births in a systematic way in 1990, their fertility rate was already well above national averages. In that year the total fertility rate (defined as births per hundred women ages 15–44) among Hispanic women was 3.2 children, while the comparable rate for non-Hispanic white women was 1.9 children, a rate that had prevailed since the late 1970s. The rapid growth of the Latino population since 1990, and their consistently higher fertility rates compared with the rest of the population, has resulted in the national population growing naturally at or above a total fertility rate of 2.1 children, which is the threshold for the population replacement level. Without this Hispanic population growth U.S. fertility rates would have resembled those of most European countries, which have fallen below population replacement levels.Abstract From information on mortality of Jews obtained from individual death certificates and population data from surveys of the Jewish population undertaken in 1963 and 1987, age‐specific death rates and life expectancy of the Jewish population of Rhode Island are compared with those of the total white population for 1963 and 1987 to assess changing differentials. The Jewish mortality experience continues to differ from that of the larger population even while both groups have experienced noticeable improvements. For males, the age standardized rates have widened in favor of Jews as have the life expectancies at birth and the percentage surviving to old age. By contrast, for females, the standardized death rate has widened considerably in favor of whites, while life expectancy has improved almost identically for both groups and therefore remained about equal, as it was in 1963. Reasons for these patterns are explored through attention to differences between Jews and the general white population in death rates at particular stages of the life cycle. Jews tend to be more advantaged at all but the most advanced ages, age groups in which proportionally more of the Jewish population and Jewish deaths are concentrated.

The aim of the research was to Determine the spatial & Population Centrography in Al-Ahwar region (the marshes and swamps) in Iraq and its governorates. The sites of the population Centrography are found in the places which the population distribute equally around them in any governorate. The Population centrography in two governorates of Maysan & Thi Qar tends to the southwestern or northwestern of the spatial centrography, towards the highland to be far from the effect of water flood. while Al-Basrah governorate tends to the northeastern of spatial centrography. toward Shat Al-Arab , far from the desert areas in Qadha Al-Zubair. The Population centrography in Al-Ahwar, in general, tends to the south of the spatial centrography, to the highland also. There were also no changes for the population centrography during the period 1997 – 2007. The statistical study concludes that the population centrography of the Al-Ahwar region are more dispersal than the spatial centrography. There is no doubt that projects establishing in Al-Ahwar region will help removing the sites of its population centrogaraphy. The research also concludes that studying population centrogaraphy in a populated area is more useful than in a deserted area & Al-Ahwar region.

This paper analyzes the nuptiality of Zhejiang Province, China, using data from the 1982 census and the 1-per-1000-population fertility survey. In 1982, the unmarried population in Zhejiang Province accounted for 29.42% of the population aged 15 and over. Unmarried men made up 34.62% of the male population aged 15 and over, while unmarried women made up 23.81% of the female population aged 15 and over. The urban unmarried population is larger than the rural one. The unmarried population is concentrated in the age group 15-27. In 1982, married people accounted for 62.67% of the population aged 15 and over, with 60.27% of the men and 65.26% of the women being married. The marriage age for men is concentrated in the age group 24-29, while the marriage age for women is concentrated in the age group 21-25. In 1982, the widowed population accounted for 7.17% of the population aged 15 and over (3.85% for men and 10.75% for women). In 1982, the divorced population accounted for .74% of the population aged 15 and over (1.26% for men and .18% for women). Remarried women accounted for 6.17% of the married women in the province.

A demographic profile of selected population statistics is provided for Tibet. Included are population growth trends and current population counts, the sex and age structure of the population, the fertility rate, the death rate, and the average life expectancy. Data are based on the 1990 national population census. The Tibet Autonomous Region had a population of 2,096,718 on July 1, 1990, and represents 96.11% of the regional population. Population has increased from 1,300,900 in 1964 (96.6%) and 1,786,500 in 1982 (94.4%). The Han population living in Tibet was 2.93% in 1953, 4.85% in 1964, and 3.09% in 1982. The Han and other ethnic group populations have never exceeded 10% of the Tibetan population. Han and other ethnic groups are higher in Nyingchi and Lhasa City, but the other 5 prefectures have over 97% Tibetan population. The native Tibetan population numbers 1,034,819 males and 1,061,899 females, with a sex ration of 97.45. There are more females in the population older than 50 years. The median age of the population was 21.77 years. 36.46% of the population aged 0-14 years and 4.81% is aged 65 years and older. The pyramidal age structure of the population follows a normal distribution. The total fertility rate was 4.36 in 1000. The 5th and higher parities are the largest parity group and suggests that family planning is not being practiced. The mean childbearing age was 29.39 years in 1989. The death rate was 8.70/1000 in 1989. Average life expectancy was 61.99 years in 1989; for males it was 59.53 years and for females 64.31 years. Life expectancy is lower by 9 years than that of China's population in 1989. Fertility is at the level of all of China before family planning was introduced in the 1970s. Other measures are within the national averages.

general pattern of urbanization of the black population is well known, but some of the detailed aspects need to be studied. Two recent articles have appeared that are relevant to this subject, The Urbanization of Negroes in the United States, by Reynolds Farley, and Change and Transition in the Black Population of the United States, by Irene Taeuber.3 Both of these articles as well as other materials have been drawn upon in the preparation of the present paper. Table 1 shows the percentage of the Negro population and of the white population classified as urban from 1870 through 1960.2 In the United States as a whole the black population shows a higher percentage urban than does the white only for 1960. Prior to this, the white population had a larger percentage classified as urban. separate regions, however, show a quite different picture. In every region of the United States except the secessionist South, the black population has been more urban than the white population at all census periods since 1870. In the secessionist South, even in 1960, the black population was not as highly urbanized as the white even though the per cent urban had increased from a little over eight per cent in 1870, to 55 per cent in 1960. concentration of the black population in the South and in the rural areas in the South has, until about 1960, made the total black population of the United States more rural than the white population. Thus, the urbanization of the black population has been primarily a record of movement out of the rural South. Table 2 shows the per cent of the total black population in the rural and urban portions of the South from 1870 to 1960. In 1870, over 80 per cent of the black popu-

The purpose of this chapter is to discuss the absolute and relative changes in the demographic potential of Polish and Ukrainian administrative regions. A descriptive analysis was used for the demographic potential using the following characteristics: population dynamics, population density, urban and rural population distribution and urbanization rates, which are analyzed in terms of a spatial approach. The current general distribution of the Ukrainian population in spatial terms is as follows: 25% of the population lives in the east of this country, another 25% in the west, nearly 20% in central and northern Ukraine and just over 10% in southern Ukraine. All analyzed groups of oblasts suffered a decrease in population in the years 2004–2017. The population declined at the fastest rate, by far, in southern Ukraine (due to the Russian annexation of the Crimean Peninsula) and then in the oblasts of the pro-Russian separatists in the regions of Eastern Ukraine. The lowest drops in population were observed in the west and north of Ukraine. In Poland, the general distribution of population in spatial terms is as follows: nearly 40% of the population lives in the voivodeships of central Poland, in the Western part about 25% and in Eastern Poland 21%. In the voivodeships of Western and Central Poland, the population had a slight upward trend, while in eastern Poland it was decreasing.

Population statistics are given for Thailand as of January 1, 1996. Total population was 59,709,000 (29,837,000 males and 29,872,000 females). Urban population was 18,856,000, and rural population was 40,853,000. Population is concentrated in the Northeastern Region (19,440,000), followed by the Central Region excluding Bangkok Metropolis (12,954,000) and the Northern Region (11,994,000). Population for the Southern Region was 7,475,000, and for Bangkok Metropolis it was 7,846,000. Population included 17,196,000 under 15 years of age and 4,359,000 aged 60 years and older. Most of the population was in the 15-59 age group (38,154,000). There were 15,414,000 women aged 15-44 years. The crude birth rate was 17.6/1000 population and the crude death rate was 5.2/1000 population. The natural growth rate was 1.2%. Infant mortality was 30.8/1000 live births. Life expectancy at birth was 66.6 years for males and 71.7 years for females; life expectancy at 60 years was 18.8 years for males and 22.0 years for females. The total fertility rate was 1.95 children/woman. Contraceptive prevalence was 74.0%. The population projection for the year 2012 is 70,479,000. It is expected that population will reach 60 million in June 1996.
