Economic downturns not associated with famine appear to have little short- term impact on mortality. Famines, whether associated with major economic downturns or not, appear to have major short- term effects on mortality.

The last 35 years or so have witnessed a dramatic shift in the demography of many developing countries. Before 1960, there were substantial improvements in life expectancy, but fertility declines were very rare. Few people used modern contraceptives, and couples had large families. Since 1960, however, fertility rates have fallen in virtually every major geographic region of the world, for almost all political, social, and economic groups. What factors are responsible for the sharp decline in fertility? What role do child survival programs or family programs play in fertility declines? Casual observation suggests that a decline in infant and child mortality is the most important cause, but there is surprisingly little hard evidence for this conclusion. The papers in this volume explore the theoretical, methodological, and empirical dimensions of the fertility-mortality relationship. It includes several detailed case studies based on contemporary data from developing countries and on historical data from Europe and the United States.

A considerable number of studies on historical and some third world populations have reached a magnificent consensus that both mortality and fertility do respond to economic changes in a surprisingly shared pattern. Such response, however, remains a great deal of controversy, obscure and inconsistency in the secular industrialized countries. As a result, a great variety of alternative hypotheses have been developed to account for the secular decline in mortality and fertility. While there is widespread interest in this subject with particular focus on short-term fluctuations, I further study the impact of severe economic crises on these demographic variables.

The demographic transition and its related effects of population growth, fertility decline and ageing populations are fraught with controversy. When discussed in relation to the global south and the modern project of development, the questions and answers become more problematic. Population and Development offers an expert guide on the demographic transition, from its origins in Enlightenment Europe through to the rest of the world. Tim Dyson examines how, while the phenomenon continues to cause unsustainable population growth with serious economic and environmental implications, its processes have underlain previous periods of sustained economic growth, helped to liberate women from the domestic domain, and contributed greatly to the rise of modern democracy. This accessible yet scholarly analysis will enable any student or expert in development studies to understand complex and vital demographic theory.

August 18-21, 1986 Umea University hosted an international conference on the theme Society, health and population during the demographic transition. The following sessions were organized: infant, child and maternal mortality; causes of death and classification of diseases; urban disease and mortality; society and medicine; health and nutrition; and changes and patterns in rural mortality. different disciplines in many countries when analyzing the determinants behind the changes in mortality during the demographic transition are reflected in this report volume from the conference. demographic data base, which dataprocesses Swedish parish registration material from the 19th century, is a permanent department at the university. Umea is also a centre for interdisciplinary research on Swedish historical demography."
