Critical Demography is a new and exciting paradigm that has the potential of revolutionizing the study of population. Critical Demography facilitates the development of theories, methods and concepts that do not neatly fit within the boundaries of the prevailing paradigm, conventional demography. Critical Demography makes explicit the manner in which the social structure differentiates dominant and subordinate populations. Thus, critical demography necessitates discussions of population control and population power. For instance, in this context, one cannot speak of race and sex without likewise articulating the impact of racism and sexism. In sum, critical demography reintroduces and articulates the nature of the social structure and how it impacts upon population phenomena. In the fall of 1999, Professor Horton edited a Special Issue of the Eastern Sociological Society journal, Sociological Forum on Critical Demography. This seminal issue demonstrated the range of ideas and issues to be addressed by Critical Demography with articles on feminism and demographic theory, racial segregation and homicide, racism and mortality, the demography of ethnic change in the former Soviet Union, African marital fertility, and global attempts to control black fertility. The issue ended with an essay on Critical Demography as a means of communicating research findings to the lay public. By any standard, this was an impressive beginning for the new paradigm.

Demography and behavioral ecology of Lordotus pulchrissimus and L. miscellus Adults of these two species of bee flies both emerge in August, coinciding with the blooming of rabbitbrush, Chrysothamnus nauseosus , upon which adult flies of both sexes exclusively feed (females eat nectar and pollen, males eat only nectar). Lordotus miscellus A lone male L. miscellus is in the tiny box at the bottom of this picture; he is defending the rabbitbrush shrub behind him, giving you an idea of scale. Males of L. miscellus defend this food source against other males looking for mates, and simultaneously they scan for females approaching the shrub to feed. Superficially, this system appears to be classic resource-defense territoriality, but a closer look suggests that males of L. miscellus use the rabbitbrush shrub as sort of a "peacock tail", attracting females ready to mate. Males defend only the largest shrubs in the population, whereas females visit shrubs of all sizes to feed, dependent only on whether the shrub has open flowers. Females mate only once, immediately upon emergence and before they begin to feed. I hypothesize that females seek out the largest rabbitbrush individuals, precisely to find males to mate with; the largest rabbitbrush are highly conspicuous when in full bloom and stand out for quite a distance. This "beacon" allows females to save time in detection of mates and also to find the most fit males, which can defend this highly valuable resources against all intruders. Males engaged in territorial "sallying" behavior are the larger males in the population; smaller "sattelite" males hang around the large rabbitbrush, presumably waiting for opportunities to mate. Females of

document.write(''); Main Demography is destiny 28 Nov 2007 03:17 pm The much-discussed Washington Post op-ed column on Social Security is not my favoriteit makes much of the meaningless actuarial solvency of the social security system, rather than the relevant changes to the inflows and outflows of tax revenue. But it does make one good point: Social Security isn't a big deal because the trustees' projections are based on unduly pessimistic assumptions, including anticipated economic growth that is slower than has been the case for the past several decades. The projected slowdown in economic growth is based largely on the slower growth of the workforce, which is inevitable unless fertility rates or immigration soar beyond all predictions. Better-than-expected growth cuts both ways: It increases the amount of payroll taxes coming into the system but also the amount of benefits owed. Even if the economy were to grow significantly faster than predicted, that growth would push insolvency back by only six years. Weighing in the opposite direction: The trustees' projections on life expectancy may be too low good news overall, bad for Social Security. Yes, the trustees' optimistic scenario shows Social Security solvent for more than 75 years, but that is so unlikely (fertility would have to return to pre-1970s levels, for one) that Social Security puts the chances at less than 2.5 percent.

Carroll and Michael T. Hannan, co-winners of 2002 Max Weber Award Shopping Cart Reviews Table of Contents Most analysts of corporations and industries adopt the focal perspective of a single prototypical organization. Many analysts also study corporations primarily in terms of their internal organizational structures or as complex systems of financial contracts. Glenn Carroll and Michael Hannan bring fresh insight to our understanding of corporations and the industries they comprise by looking beyond prototypical structures to focus on the range and diversity of organizations in their social and economic setting. The result is a rich rendering of analysis that portrays whole populations and communities of corporations. The Demography of Corporations and Industries is the first book to present the demographic approach to organizational studies in its entirety. It examines the theory, models, methods, and data used in corporate demographic research. Carroll and Hannan explore the processes by which corporate populations change over time, including organizational founding, growth, decline, structural transformation, and mortality. They review and synthesize the major theoretical mechanisms of corporate demography, ranging from aging and size dependence to population segregation and density dependence. The book also explores some selected implications of corporate demography for public policy, including employment and regulation.

Home Why VDARE.com / The White Doe? FAQ Blog ... Printer Friendly Version... September 17, 2007 Demography No Laughing Matter in Russia By Patrick J. Buchanan In Russia's Ulanovsk region, Sept. 12 is Conception Day. Workers are given the day off, and encouraged to go home and do their best to conceive a new Russian. The hope is to have a bumper crop of babies on Russia's national holiday, nine months off. Conception Day has occasioned much mirth and ribald humor. But for Mother Russia, the issue of her children is no laughing matter. Two decades ago, the Soviet Union was three times the size of any of the other giant nation—the United States, Canada, China, Brazil—and the third most populous, with nearly 300 million people. Came then the great crack-up of 1990-91. The Baltic republics—Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia —broke free first. Next were Belarus, Ukraine and Moldova in the west; Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan in the Caucasus; and Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan in Central Asia. These amputations removed a third of the territory and half the population of the Soviet Union. Yet the remnant, Russia, remained twice as large as any other nation and still boasted a population of 150 million.

DEMOGRAPHY 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
