This report reviews some major demographic findings reported by the United States Census Bureau during 1989. U.S. population is growing by about 1 percent per year; since the 1980 census, population has increased by 231 million (10.2 percent) to an estimated 249.6 million on January 1, 1990. Population growth will slow and possibly stop within the next 50 years. The South and West are the most rapidly growing regions, having experienced 87 percent of the nation's growth between 1980 and 1989,...

This is the second of a series of planning reports on Minnesota higher education; the first was entitled A PHILOSOPHY FOR MINNESOTA HIGHER EDUCATION and the third will deal with student enrollment in 1967-68. This study of population trends and projections and past enrollment trends and the needs of the individual and society has provided the basis for projecting higher education enrollments of 234,200 for 1980 and 271,400 for 2000. These forecasts compare with the 1967 enrollment of 131,361...

This book is a compilation of data on black Americans. The record of the past two decades shows that blacks have been migrating out of the rural South into the cities of the North and West. There, with greater choices, many have been progressing economically from unskilled low-paid jobs into white-collar and skilled occupations. In search of better housing and jobs, many have been moving out from their first place of urban settlement in city core centers into the surrounding suburban rings....

This report presents population projections of the United States by age, sex, and the components of population changes, births, deaths, and net immigration. These projections are shown annually by race--white and black--from 1975 to 2000 and in less detail for the total population from 2000 to 2050. In 1974, the population of the United States, including Armed Forces overseas, was about 212 million and had increased by 0.7 percent during the preceding year. While the total population has...

This article offers an historical overview of how colonial-era politics affected changing infrastructure in Etosha National Park, Namibia, and the subsequent effects on lions and prey species populations in the park. The article argues that infrastructure development, particularly the erection of perimeter fencing and construction of artificial waterholes, during the apartheid era, had lasting effects on lion and prey species’ population numbers. The article also provides the first...

A total of 19 charts, each with a brief narrative interpretation, present information on major features of population trends in the United States. Residents of 212 metropolitan areas (central cities with population of 50,000 or more) equalled 64 percent of the population of the U.S. in 1968. The distribution of the population differed greatly by race; only a fourth of the white population lived in metropolitan areas, but one-half of all Negroes lived in the central city. Twenty-eight percent of...

If U.S. birthrates remain below the replacement level and are relatively constant, and if immigration is constant both in total numbers and age-sex composition, population size will eventually become stationary, according to this policy discussion paper. Moverover, varying the constant annual number of immigrants produces an equal proportionate change in the size of the resulting stationary population. A third, often overlooked factor that can affect stationary population size is changes in...

This document provides a profile of aging and old age in Ghana. It covers aging trends and their implications for development. It is noted that, although the population aged 60 and over in Ghana is estimated to rise from 286,000 in 1960 to 2,425,000 in 2025, the aging of the population will not get under way until well after 2025. It is suggested that aging trends in Ghana will have a number of developmental implications and socioeconomic consequences, including a growing demand for specialized...

Population trends in the 1960's and early 1970's are examined in this 1972 speech in terms of overall national trends, the growth of metropolitan areas, the rural population, geographic shifts, internal migration, the black population, and living arrangements. It is noted that population growth in the 1960's was unevenly distributed within age groups and also unevenly distributed geographically. Some rural-urban differences are also discussed: urbanization of the blacks continued at a rapid...

There has long been a need for a systematic set of instructions for the projection of populations for such subnational areas as states, provinces, districts, or statistical planning areas; and for specific groups of population which may overlap different areas within a country, such as the labor force, various occupation groups, the school age population, literates, or ethnic groups. These guidelines attempt to meet that need. The guidelines are designed to aid development planners by...

Postponed parenthood is a growing family pattern in Canada. To examine this trend, an exploratory study of 46 couples who were delayed parents was conducted in Toronto. The members of each couple had worked at least 5 years prior to the birth of their first child after the mother was age 30. Responses by both husbands and wives to a questionnaire revealed that finances, careers, and the biological timeclock were the most frequent reasons for delaying childbirth. Respondents reported reading...

More than two-thirds of New Mexico's population live in places classified as urban by the Bureau of the Census. The state remained rural longer than did the United States as a whole, but by 1970 the proportion of the total population living in urban areas in New Mexico had increased to 69.8%, not much below the national percentage of 73.5. Urbanization in New Mexico was particularly rapid in the 1950's; the proportion of urban people in the total population increased 15.7%, nearly 3 times the...

At present, nearly 30% of all health care dollars are spent on persons over the age of 65.
