| Population of the United States, Trends and Prospects: 1950-1990 | This monograph analizes the relationship of socioeconomic development to trends in population growth, composition, and distribution. It was prepared for the World Population Conference, organized by the United Nations and held in Bucharest, Rumania, in August 1974. Arranged by broad topic, the report links demographic, social, and economic topics. An introductory chapter on population growth from 1790 to 1970 leads to a discussion of population components--differential fertility, differential mortality, and international migration. Aspects of population composition discussed include religion and literacy, as well as topics generally covered in censuses. These topics range from educational attainment and enrollment, and national origin to the demographic characteristics of age, sex, marital status, families, households, and living arrangements. Various social and economic characteristics are subsequently presented for the labor force, including occupation, industry, and income, which are shown in demographic perspective with some emphasis on working women. Labor force information, however, is only one topic treated in a multifaceted chapter on projections to 1990. Other topics include the estimated number of dependents per worker, as well as the Nation's overall social prospects in terms of number of inhabitants; their regional distribution; age and sex; number of households; and school enrollment and attainment. A summary chapter emphasizes the correlations and implications of economic and demographic trends examined in the text. A bibliography lists sources of materials used in compiling the monograph. 225 pages. 1974, May

| Coverage of Population in the 1970 Census and Some Implications for
Public Programs | This report was prepared largely in pursuance of a request from a group of leaders of the black community, which met under Bureau sponsorship on May 24 and June 19, 1974, that a document be prepared reviewing the methodology and the extent of undercoverage of the population in the 1970 census and examining the implications of geographic variations in undercoverage for various public programs, particularly political representation and disbursement of public funds. The report deals only with selected aspects of this broad topic, giving principal enumeration on legislative redistricting and on the apportionment of funds, especially under General Revenue Sharing. An explanatory text discusses population coverage on the national and subnational levels, including methodological problems, along with its implications for political representation and distribution of public funds. Tables accompanying the text provide several illustrative sets of summary figures giving the distribution of States according to rates of net underenumeration calculated by a basic synthetic method and various modified synthetic methods; shifts in apportioned funds resulting from adjustment of State population counts for underenumeration; and gains or losses in General Revenue Sharing funds as a result of the adjustment of the population factor, the per capita income factor, or both factors, in the revenue-sharing formula. Other aspects of the effect of underenumeration of State population figures are also illustrated. Detailed tables show the corresponding figures for individual regions, divisions, and States. 32 pages. 1975, August

| 1976 Survey of Institutionalized Persons: a Study of Persons Receiving
Long-Term Care | Presents data from the Survey of Institutionalized Persons conducted by the Bureau of the Census in 1976 for the U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. The survey focused on long-term care institutions which offer residential care to persons for an average stay of 30 days or more. For this study, long-term care institutions were classified into six major types including nursing homes and homes for the aged, facilities for children, facilities for the physically handicapped, psychiatric institutions, facilities for the mentally handicapped, and "other" long-term institutions such as those offering care for chronic diseases and extended care units of short-term hospitals. The survey was designed to provide a three-dimensional statistical profile--the institution, the resident, and the resident's next of kin--of long-term institutionalization to update the 1967 Survey of Institutionalized Adults conducted for the Social Security Administration; and to provide baseline data for policy and program planning. Detailed tables and the corresponding text are divided into three sections. Section I deals with the characteristics of the institutions. Data are presented on the type of care provided, ownership or control, the number of beds, occupancy rate, and the services and programs offered. Section II contains information on the characteristics of the residents. Basic social and demographic characteristics such as age, sex, race. marital status, and education are shown as well as information about the reason for the institutionalization, cost of care, current activities, type of treatment, and the physical limitations of the institutional population. Section III examines the next-of-kin's relationship to the residents of long-term care facilities including the next-of-kin's proximity to the institution, frequency of visits with the resident, and monetary contribution to the resident. The demographic characteristics of the next-of-kin, as well as their review of the resident and his or her institutionalization, are discussed. 452 pages. 1978, August

| Interregional Migration of the Poor: Some Recent Changes | Traces the interregional migration of the Nation's poverty population based upon the migrants' income about the time of moving, giving a more timely overview of this segment than heretofore available. This analytical study indicates the South's shift from net out-migration to net in-migration of low-income persons between 1967 and 1977; discussion of similar statistics is presented for each of the census regions. Most data for this research, one of a series of studies undertaken by the Census Bureau's Population Division, were obtained from the annual March Current Population Survey; poverty status was computed from total money income received during the calendar year preceding each survey. Additional statistics from the 1976 Survey of Income and Education permitted analysis of mobility within each region of the total population between 20 and 64 years old for varying periods of time. Definite socioeconomic trends are indicated as a result of these analyses. 29 pages. 1978, November

| Two Statements Before Congressional Committees: The Future of the American Family
(Paul C. Glick); Prospective Trends in the Size and Structure of the Elderly
Population, Impact of Mortality Trends, and Some Implications (Jacob S. Siegel) | Contains two statements that were submitted as part of testimony before congressional committees in May 1978. Prepared for the Select Committee on Population, U.S. House of Representatives, "The Future of the American Family" analyzes statistics, primarily of the past two decades, to arrive at the conclusion that social changes affecting the American family life will significantly lessen during the next 20 years. Factors discussed include stabilizing birth rates and school enrollment, less increase in labor force participation by women, less postponement of marriage, stabilizing marriage and divorce rates, outlook for one-parent families, living arrangements, and changes in the family life cycle. The second statement in this publication, "Prospective Trends in the Size and Structure of the Elderly Population, Impact of Mortality Trends, and Some Implications," was presented at a joint meeting fo the Select Committee on Population and the Select Committee on Aging, U.S. House of Respresentatives. Analytical text and detailed tables cover projections for the elderly population (for purposes of this discussion, persons 65 years old and over) to the year 2040. The report notes that, beginning about 1985, there will be a sharp drop in the rate of increase in the elderly for some two decades because of the rapid drop in births between 1920 and 1940. The relative contribution of changes in fertility and mortality to the changes in the number of elderly persons are discussed, along with such other topics as age and sex composition of the elderly population, male and female mortality differences, racial differences in life expectancy, causes of death, and gains in life expectancy through elimination of specified causes of death. Socioeconomic implications resulting from demographic changes in the elderly population are also described. Level of geography: United States.
