Book Description
A unique and comprehensive introduction to contemporary development issues in East and Southern Africa, and represents a significant departure from the often descriptive approach adopted by existing regional and development texts on African regions. Each contribution is carefully chosen to highlight the theoretical basis to development issues, and the practical problems of implementing development plans, in this vital subregion. Overall this produces comprehensive and balanced coverage of historical, economic, political and social issues. The twin issues of globalisation and modernisation give the book a clear focus.

Book Description
This groundbreaking study of South Africa provides a unique look at the interplay of demographic, social and economic processes in a society undergoing rapid change as a result of the collapse of apartheid. It uses data from the first post-apartheid census as the basis for analysis of fertility, mortality within the context of HIV/AIDS, migration, education, employment, and household structure. These census data are complemented by large-scale household surveys and data from a partial registration system to study the relationships among various demographic, economic, and social phenomena. For the first time the demographic consequences of both the longer-term impact of apartheid policies and the policies of the new South Africa are examined and compared. This comprehensive reference links the demographic behavior of South Africa's various population groups to social, economic, and political inequalities created by policies of separate and unequal development. Prepared under the auspices of the Population Studies Center at the University of Pennsylvania, it is an essential resource for all scholars and practitioners in the field.

Book Description
This report covers the proceedings of the expert group meeting on innovative techniques that are used for population censuses and large-scale demographic surveys. The four chapters focus on presentations by resource persons and technical experts, innovative computer methods, new topics to be included in future censuses and surveys, and recommendations in general and for computer-related issues. The appendices provide the meeting agenda, list of participants, and papers presented at session 1, 2, and 3. Session 1 discussants focused on future censuses, innovative techniques used in 1990, data processing in China in 1990, Hong Kong's 1996 Census, the Seychelles' example of enumeration versus updates of population registers, the software of the US Census Bureau, and the case of Netherlands without a census. Countries were urged to develop national integrated information systems that could offer an alternative to nonresponses. Censuses should be developed at all levels to serve as a basis for sampling frames. Quality norms and controls are needed. Post-enumeration surveys are useful for assessing data quality, as are other field checks by canvassers. It is recommended for speed of data processing that a core questionnaire be used for the total population and a detailed one for a sample population. There should be permanent census offices. Experiences should be documented in a journal. The US Census Design System for the year 2000 will be available on the Internet. Aerial photography was useful for a 1996 census in Hong Kong for counting boat people. Session 2 focused on Dutch computer methods that provide a broad base of access on CD-ROMs and on-line computer services, individual confidentiality, and storage in databases with a logical structure and easy tools for graphing and mapping. Session 3 discussed, among other issues, that the contents and scope should meet the needs of local policy makers and planners and, to a lesser degree, donors.
