The lowest death rates in the country's history were achieved for all age groups during this period. The authors calculate that a significant increase in life expectancy for both ethnic groups will occur in 1988. (SUMMARY IN ENG AND RUS)

Trends in the incidence and demographic outcomes of conceptions resulting from extramarital coitus are analysed by means of age-specific probabilities of becoming pregnant outside marriage; and of terminating such a pregnancy by abortion, by legitimating it through marriage before confinement, or by having a baby while remaining unmarried. Substantial increases in the proportion of extramaritally conceived pregnancies leading to non-marital births are detected for the period since the late 1980s, and ascribed mainly to rising levels of unmarried cohabitation. The demographic effects of the post-1989 transition from state to market economy are discussed.

The authors made two pilot studies. In the first one they focused attention on dietary habits and in the second one on the leisure time, incl. physical activity. The results should be applied not only in health education but also in food production and sale, and by the national committees with respect to supplies, the standard of services, transport etc.

Si dimostra che nonostante l'incremento demografico senza precedenti, la più rapida crescita della produzione alimentare globale, ha determinato un eccesso di produzione agricola pro capite, che teoricamente potrebbe garantire cibo sufficiente a ciascun individuo. Tuttavia in alcune regioni l'incremento demografico ha ecceduto i guadagni in produzione agricola e Pil. Il problema della fame persiste a livello nazionale, sub-nazionale e familiare perché una porzione considerevole della popolazione mondiale ha ancora redditi insufficienti alle esigenze alimentari. L'insicurezza alimentare, dunque, riflette uno squilibrio nell'equazione popolazione-sviluppo, dovuti principalmente alla crescita della popolazione e altri fattori demografici.

As a result, rural demographic change is of vital importance. This article monitors four driving factors in rural demographic change including the ratio of youth to the aged, the ratio of males to female, fertility levels and migration. Alongside conclusive findings, the authors bring to light the relevance of AIDS-related deaths, urbanisation, and city planning in demographic research.
