“5．12”汶川大地震受灾人口特征与生存环境变化分析

“5．12”汶川大地震造成10万余平方公里的破坏性区域,造成69227人遇难、17923人失踪和374643人受伤,受灾人口（重灾区）2792万人。8．0级地震所释放的能量,在一定程度上改变了受灾人口所依存的自然环境和人文生态环境。本文以四川地震重灾区为研究单元,在系统分析受灾人口所依存的自然生态环境、居住（建筑空间）环境、人文生态环境、基础设施以及产业发展环境及其发展变化的基础上,析出重灾区内人口生存空间进一步缩小和调整人口分布的结论。在此基础上。提出重灾区在恢复重建中的人口分布调整建议。     

关于人口与自然和谐统一关系的再认识

伴随着人类经济社会的不断发展,人口、资源、环境的可持续问题日益受到人们的关注。马克思、恩格斯自然观对人与自然关系的分析及其所蕴涵的生态哲学思想．为正确认识人口与自然的和谐统一提供了独特的理论视阚。针对我国人口剧增、资源紧缺、环境恶化的严重形势,科学发展现生态文明理论的提出为实现人口与自然和谐统一提供了理论指南。     

人口转变的经济增长效应研究新进展：一个综述

关于人口转变对于经济增长的效应研究由来已久,但是研究大多只考虑了人口数量和人口增长率对于经济增长的效应。近二十年来,许多经济学家在揭示“东亚奇迹”和中国经济腾飞等一系列经济现象的原因时。发现了人口年龄结构对于经济增长的重要贡献,并提出了“人口红利”的概念以解释经济发展。本文将具体介绍近二十年来理论界对于人口转变影响经济增长的相关机制的研究以及经验分析。并对这些研究的政策含义和有待深入研究的问题作出简要评述。     

人口流动对健康的影响

在当今世界,人口流动的重要性日益突出,其对健康的影响也日益扩大。尽管涉猎人口流动与健康这个交叉领域的学者很多。但致力于考察前者对后者的影响的作品却为数不多。原因在于流行病学的视角局限了大家的视野。为了扭转这种局面,笔者强调指出,要考察人口流动对健康的影响,必须比较流动前后人群在健康状况方面的变化。以此为导向。在回顾文献的基础上。笔者初步回答了两个问题：流动对健康的影响体现在何处？这些影响得以实现的机制是什么？最后,笔者还为将来的研究提供了一些建议。     

中国婚姻挤压研究的回顾与评述

通过对检索文献的分析,从婚姻挤压的现状、原因、测度和影响等几个方面对我国学者就婚姻挤压研究取得的成果进行了综述,回顾了主要的研究成果,指出了研究的不足之处,并对未来研究做出展望,笔者最后建议从人口安全与和谐社会这两个角度研究婚姻挤压问题。     

基于二阶段嵌套锡尔系数的人口分布的差异研究

文章首先提出了人口分布锡尔系数的概念及其一阶、二阶分解方法,接着以江苏省为研究区域,基于三大地带（苏南、苏中和苏北）、13个地级市、106个县（县级市、市辖区）三级结构的地域行政单元,分别运用一次、二次分解对全省的人口分布的区域差异进行细分测度．将江苏省人口分布的差异性分解为苏南、苏中、苏北三大地带闯的差异、三大地带内地级市之间的差异以及各地级市的内部差异三部分。其主要结论为：以地级市为计算单元的一阶段分解结果显示．苏南、苏中和苏北三个地带间人口分布的差异性是造成一阶段分解的全省人口分布差异的主要原因;以县级行政单元的二阶段分解结果表明．地级市内部的差异是江苏省人口分布的整体差异的主要构成部分;通过运用局部G统计量对各县级单元人口分布的热点探测发现,“热点”地区的人口分布差异性大．“冷点”地区的差异性小．     

Is demography destiny? The role of structural and demographic factors in Australis past and future labour supply

Following the release of the Intergenerational Report, the Australian Treasury identified the levers to address the economic effects of demographic ageing as ‘the three Ps’: population, participation and productivity. To date, the first ‘P’, population, has been treated as an exogenous factor, with the common view being that there is very little that the government can do to supplant demographic ageing. Focusing upon labour supply, this paper shows how variation in Australia’s underlying demography can significantly alter Australia’s future labour supply. Although governments cannot redirect the cohort flow component of population ageing, much can be achieved in promoting growth of the labour supply by maintaining or increasing fertility (in the longer term), or increasing targeted migration (in the short to medium term). This paper also decomposes the relative role of cohort flow, changing demography and changing labour force participation on the growth of the labour supply over the past 20 years. Over this period, the entry of the baby boom generation (cohort flow) and increased labour force participation of women accounted for almost all of the growth in the labour force. Changing demography had very little effect. However, Australias future labour supply will not include a large increase in cohort flow (as caused by the baby boomers) or a very large increase in female labour force participation. Regardless of the assumptions used, labour supply growth will be considerably lower in the next and subsequent 20 years, when compared to the previous 20.     

A reconstruction of the size and composition of Jewish Holocaust survivors in the Netherlands, 1945

Compared to other countries that have suffered from the Nazioccupation, the destructive impact of the Holocaust on theJewish population has been particularly strong in the Netherlands. This paper gives a demographicreconstruction of the Jewish population in the Netherlands by the end of the war (1945),disaggregated by age and sex. The reconstruction is based on two approaches: a forwardprojection 1941–1945, starting from registration data supplemented by information onHolocaust losses; and a backward projection 1966–1945, starting from an enumerationof Halachic Jews carried out in 1966. The two approaches yieldtwo estimates that are comfortingly similar.

Soil Nutrient Depletion and Population Growth in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Malthusian Nexus?

Soil nutrient mining and other forms of soil degradation threaten future soil productivity, especially in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Data from 36 countries in SSA show a significant relationship at the supra-national level between soil nutrient depletion (including erosion), reduced fallow periods, and population pressure and thus illustrate the unsustainable population-agriculture-environment nexus on the continent which so far has been described in case studies only. It appears that Malthusian mechanisms are at work, despite encouraging indications of farmers' concerns and adaptation to changing conditions. It is agreed that a re-examination of the common land degradation assessments and farmers' response to changing conditions would be useful, however, this should not delay other recommended interventions.
