  • Title: [The demographic situation of Latin America as evaluated in 1983. Estimates for 1960-1980 and projections for 1980-2025].
    Journal: Notas Poblacion; 1983 Dec; 11(33):9-65. PubMed ID: 12339532.
    Abstract:
    This paper analyzes and comments upon the results presented in Demographic Bulletin No. 32, which shows the new projections obtained after revising the population estimates and projections for 10 of 20 countries integrating what is usually called Latin America. While it is very general and descriptive, it can be considered a supplement to the Fasciculos de Poblacion, the series of publications recently initiated that is constituted by documents prepared separately for each country, showing the population estimates and projections, the main demographic indicators, and a methodological summary. The revised projections constiute almost 80% of the total population of Latin America. The paper has 5 chapters: chapter 1 reviews population growth, by country, subregions, and Latin America as a whole; chapters 2 and 3 analyze the situation of the main determinants of population (fertility and mortality); chapter 4 describes the age structure of the population; and chapter 5 summarizes and comments on the main conclusions. An appendix shows some population estimates and projections for the English-speaking Caribbean. Both a Demographic Bulletin and Fasciculo de Poblacion specifically devoted to that region are expected to be prepared in the near future. (author's modified)
