Census decennial enumerations are utilized to achieve two useful
estimates: (l) Annual series of estimates of births, birth rates,
and fertility rates for the white population of the U.S. from 1855
to the present (the first set of data on an annual basis); (2)
Adjusted single-year age distributions of native white population
and estimated undercounts by five-year age groups for the white
population for each census since 1880. Originally published in
1963. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand
technology to again make available previously out-of-print books
from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.

The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase

The birth rate in late-nineteenth century Russia was high and
virtually constant, but by 1970 it had fallen by about two-thirds.
Although similar reductions have occurred in other countries, the
decline in Russian fertility is of particular interest because it
took place in a setting of great ethnic heterogeneity and under
economic and social institutions different from those in the West.
This book tells the full statistical story of trends in Russian
fertility since the first census in 1897 by examining the
conditions--social, economic, cultural, and demographic--that
existed at the beginning of and during the decline in human
fertility. Originally published in 1979. The Princeton Legacy

Here, a sociologist, two anthropologists, a psychologist, and a
demographer attempt to resolve the criticisms and conflicts of
opinion that center on kinship structure and the family unit.

Although mathematical demography has traditionally studied the
so-called stable population (fixed mortality and fertility
schedules), Ansley Coale investigates now the dynamics of
population growth and structure--the changing age composition of a
population as birth and death rates fluctuate. Originally published

The main contribution of this book lies in its focus on real
alternatives in future population growth. At some time-taken as
1956 in India for this case study-a low-income country may have the
option of effectively promoting the reduction of fertility, or (by
inaction) of permitting fertility to remain at high levels. This
book clearly shows the nature and extent of the economic gains
resulting from fertility reduction. Since most low-income areas are
destined for rapid population growth even with substantial
fertility declines, the emphasis is placed between moderately rapid
and very rapid growth. The extensive quantitative population
projections show the importance of the growth rate itself and of
changes in age distribution in addition to population size. The
results for India have direct implications for all low-income,
primarily agrarian areas entering a program of economic
development. Originally published in 1958. The Princeton Legacy

This volume summarizes the major findings of the Princeton European
Fertility Project. The Project, begun in 1963, was a response to
the realization that one of the great social revolutions of the
last century, the remarkable decline in marital fertility in
Europe, was still poorly understood. Originally published in 1986.
