GELBARD, Alene; HAUB, Carl; KENT, Mary M.

World population beyond six billion.

This Population Bulletin chronicles the demographic history of the world and the changes in population in less developed and more developed countries. The Bulletin provides a rich store of data about population before 1900, from 1900 to 1950, and from 1950 to 2000. It describes a new world vision of what to do about population issues and draws attention to particular population groups, such as the elderly, women, children and adolescents, migrants, and people at high risk of HIV/AIDS.

POLLARD, Kelvin M.; O'HARE, William P.

America's racial and ethnic minorities.

This Population Bulletin offers readers a chance to see how America's racial and ethnic groups compare with one another across a host of demographic dimensions. As Americans reassess their view of the nation and its future, they will no doubt express contradictory views and arrive at different positions on public policy issues. Resolving those differences will be easier if Americans understand the current demographic reality of U.S. minority populations.
