Extractions: Median household income in 2001 in the United States was $42,228. This level was 2.2 percent lower than in 2000 in real terms (after adjusting for inflation). The real median income of Hispanic-origin households remained unchanged at $33,565, while the income of each race group declined between 2000 and 2001. Real median household income declined 1.3 percent for households with a non-Hispanic White householder to a level of $46,305; 3.4 percent for Blacks to $29,470; and 6.4 percent for Asians and Pacific Islanders to 53,635. The real earnings of women who worked full-time, year round increased 3.5 percent, to $29,215, while men's earnings ($38,275) did not change. The resulting women's-to-men's earnings ratio is at an all-time high, 0.76.
UCB Collections In Demography
http://library.berkeley.edu/Collections/Demography/

Extractions: Contents: The UC Berkeley Library collections in Demography support the research and teaching of the Department of Demography, as well as of the many other departments and programs with an interest in demography and population studies. The Department of Demography , in the College of Letters and Sciences, offers a highly interdisciplinary training program leading to the M.A. and Ph.D. in demography. Demography is an increasingly important area of study, with important links to many pressing policy issues such as economic development of Third World countries, population aging, the environment, health and mortality, family change, economic activities of women, immigration and ethnicity, and declining birth rates. It also has strong links to other fields such as economics, sociology, social history, anthropology, and statistics. The program is one of the very few in the United States granting graduate degrees in demography, rather than offering demography only as a field of specialization within some other department. The program stresses quantitative aspects of demography and demography in the context of social science theory. Although there is no undergraduate major, undergraduates may complete a minor in demography. There are 4 principal faculty members and 8 faculty members in other departments who are affiliated with the program. About five new graduate students are admitted each year to the Ph. D. program, and the program offers 8 undergraduate and 19 graduate-level courses. Twenty-two Ph.D. degrees were granted between 1985 and 1993.

London and Portland, Oregon: Frank Cass, 1997. 273 pages. These books all concentrate on the interface between population studies and ethnic conflict. The main political bone of contention is ethnic conflict over control of territorya rather ancient human preoccupationwhose contours have been radically reshaped in the contemporary world by the relative ease of migration over long distances. The issues raised by these books are of profound importance both for demography as a science and for the political landscape of the world. Teitelbaum and Winter point out that there has been a decline in the influence of professional demographers as issues related to population have become increasingly politicized, and politicization results from competition between ethnic groups. Unfortunately, none of these books provides any scientific understanding of group competition. that INEDs estimate of the French birth rate as well below replacement levels was politically motivated and had the effect of increasing fears of non-European immigration. He charged that INED preferred indigenous population growth to population growth brought about by immigration, and that several of its policies coincided with those advocated by the National Front, a nativist political party. Indeed, well before this controversy, Jean Marie Le Pen, leader of the National Front, stated, "Theres nothing wrong with the birthrate, except that were not the ones who are making the babies" (p. 47).

Extractions: While world fears have generally centered around the proliferation of nuclear, biological, and chemical weaponry, the major time bomb clicking away is a demographic one. In 1998, the two hundredth anniversary of Thomas Robert Malthus's "Essay on the Principle of Population" was observed. Developed in this work is how under ideal conditions human numbers increase geometrically. (See Frank Elwell's Reclaiming Malthus site.) Six years after its publication, in 1804, world population first reached one billion people. Just 123 years later the population reached two billion, and in 47 years doubled again to four billion in 1974. In the fall of 1999, one born in 1960 will have seen the world's population double from 3 to 6 billion (check out ZPG's Y6B page ); one born in 1927 will have seen human numbers tripled (source: United Nations, 1998 ). Of the estimated 105 billion humans who have ever been born, 5.5 percent are currently alive Around the world the number of births in 1998: annually equals the combined populations of all Central American countries, or more than the population of Japan or Bangladesh

Migration Trends By Ethnic Groups
Revaz Gachechiladze discusses the ethnic structure of migrations by analyzing the historical demography of Tbilisi.
http://www.ceroi.net/reports/tbilisi/issues/population_and_social_conditions/imp

Extractions: Text by: Revaz Gachechiladze, "Population Migration in Georgia and Its Socio-Economic Consequences". Discussion Paper Series - UNDP, 1997. The total migration balance in Tbilisi (according to the propiska system) during the last eleven years is shown in The gradual reduction of the positive net-migration can be traced from 1986. From 1991 net-migration turned negative. The out-migration of Tbilisi's population peaked in 1993 when the socio-economic crisis in Tbilisi peaked (as it did in the rest of Georgia). The situation in 1993 was close to catastrophic: civil wars, a dramatic fall in economic output, energy shortages, general public destitution, hyperinflation, criminal "revolution", waves of IDPs, etc. In the following years out-migration waves slowed, but in-migration did not increase accordingly. During the last 11 years, 43.2 thousand more officially de-registered from Tbilisi than registered to enter. However, this does not in fact mean that the actual population of Tbilisi decreased (see below).
