Le texte qui suit n’est pas à proprement parler une introduction à la démographie. Il représente plutôt une vision personnelle d’une discipline qui me passionne depuis plus de quarante ans et qui m’a permis de mieux comprendre les enjeux fondamentaux des sociétés, que celles-ci soient considérées comme « développées » ou en « voie de développement ». Il est clair que ma conception de la démographie est fortement teintée par ma formation en sociologie et par mes expériences tant québécoises qu’africaines, aussi bien dans la recherche fondamentale que dans l’enseignement et la pratique d’intervention sur le terrain.

Das vorliegende Buch zum Deutschen Alterssurvey (DEAS) stellt mit einem breiten Themenspektrum dar, dass die Lebensphase Alter vielfältig ist und sich wandelt: Ältere Menschen sind heute aktiver als vor 20 Jahren. Sie sind länger erwerbstätig, engagieren sich häufiger ehrenamtlich, sie treiben mehr Sport und sind mehrheitlich sozial gut eingebunden. Nehmen aber auch die Ungleichheiten im Alter zu? Befunde zu dieser Frage liefert der DEAS, die bundesweit wichtigste repräsentative Langzeitbefragung von Menschen, die sich in der zweiten Lebenshälfte befinden, also 40 Jahre und älter sind. Der DEAS wird seit 1996 vom Bundesministerium für Familie, Senioren, Frauen und Jugend (BMFSFJ) finanziert. Das Buch zum DEAS 2014 stellt einen wesentlichen Teil der Sozialberichterstattung zum Thema Alter dar, ist Grundlage der Seniorenpolitik auf Bundesebene und Impulsgeber der sozial- und verhaltenswissenschaftlichen Alternsforschung. Der Inhalt Aktuelle Ergebnisse zum Wandel der Lebenssituation älterer Menschen in Deutschland innerhalb der letzten zwei Jahrzehnte Die Zielgruppen Wissenschaftler/innen aus dem Bereich der Altersforschung • Lehrende und Studierende der Sozialwissenschaften • Politische Entscheidungsträger/innen Die Herausgeber/innen Dr. Katharina Mahne, Dr. Julia K. Wolff, Dr. Julia Simonson und Prof. Dr. Clemens Tesch-Römer arbeiten am Deutschen Zentrum für Altersfragen (DZA), einem auf dem Gebiet der sozial- und verhaltenswissenschaftlichen Gerontologie tätigen wissenschaftlichen Forschungsinstitut des Bundes.

Temaet for denne boka er immateriell kapital, dvs. kapital som ein ikkje kan ta og kjenna på. Humankapital, sosial og kulturell kapital er alle døme på immateriell kapital, fordi dei representerer varige, ikkje-fysiske storleikar som kan ha ulik nytteverdi. Denne nytten, eller avkastninga, kan både vera av materiell og immateriell karakter. Boka tek for seg immateriell kapital på tre forskjellige område: Del I handlar om tema knytt til migrasjon, der mellom anna utfordringar i samband med arbeidsinnvandring og møte med menneske på flukt frå krig og naud vert løfta fram. Del II handlar om språk og læring, der ulike sider ved språkkultur, læringskultur og idrettskultur vert drøfta. Del III tek for seg ulike typar immateriell kapital knytt til næringsliv og samfunn. Tekstane er basert på presentasjonar som vart haldne på Fjordkonferansen i 2016.

The Habsburg Monarchy carried out its first modern official population census in 1857. Since 1869, censuses were conducted every ten years with the critical date of 31 December. The censuses took into account the present population. From 1880 onwards, they also included a section on everyday language/language of communication, on the basis of which it was thenceforth possible to determine the national structure of the population in the country, even though the question thusly formulated did not yield accurate results. It was especially before the census of 1910 that the Slovenes and other Slavic nations in the monarchy demanded the elimination of the section on everyday language (lingua d'uso, Umgangssprache) and the introduction of a new section on nationality or mother tongue. The last Austrian population census of 1910 is a characteristic and important event from the political history of the Slovenes in the Austrian Littoral: characteristic because of the conduct of city authorities carrying out the census, and important because it represented a political victory of the Slavic population, after the established inaccuracies forced the authorities to order a revision of the census. Both the Yugoslav and Italian sides used the census of 1910 as evidence in setting their territorial claims during the peace negotiations after the First and Second World Wars. Habsburška monarhija je prvo moderno uradno štetje prebivalstva izvedla leta 1857. Od leta 1869 dalje so popise izvajali vsakih deset let s kritičnim datumom 31. december. Štetja so popisovala prisotno prebivalstvo. Od leta 1880 so popisi vsebovali tudi rubriko o občevalnem/pogovornem jeziku. Tako je bilo mogoče poslej ugotavljati narodnostno sestavo prebivalstva v državi, čeprav tako formulirano vprašanje ni dajalo natančnih rezultatov. Slovenci in drugi slovanski narodi v monarhiji so zlasti pred štetjem leta 1910 zahtevali ukinitev rubrike občevalni jezik (lingua d'uso, Umgangssprache) in uvedbo nove rubrike o narodnosti ali o maternem jeziku. Zadnje avstrijsko ljudsko štetje iz leta 1910 je značilen in pomemben dogodek iz politične zgodovine Slovencev v Avstrijskem Primorju. Značilen je zaradi ravnanja mestnih oblasti, ki so štetje izvajale. Pomemben je zato, ker prestavlja politično zmago slovanskega prebivalstva, saj je oblast zaradi ugotovljenih nepravilnosti odredila revizijo štetja. Štetje leta 1910 je služilo tako jugoslovanski kot italijanski strani za dokazno gradivo ob postavljanju ozemeljskih zahtev pri mirovnih pogajanjih po prvi in po drugi svetovni vojni.

Im Jahr 1943 wurde die 1926 gegründete "Abteilung Westen" des Instituts für Konjunkturforschung, Berlin (heute: Deutsches Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung, DIW) als "Rheinisch-Westfälisches Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung e.V." (RWI) verselbstständigt. Rainer Fremdling untersucht im ersten Teil bis 1945 die Umorientierung von der Konjunkturforschung in der Weimarer Republik zur Raumforschung unter dem Nationalsozialismus und der Kriegswirtschaft, wobei die enge Verzahnung des RWI und des DIW mit dem NS-Herrschaftssystem deutlich wird. Toni Pierenkemper widmet sich der Geschichte des RWI seit Kriegsende. Hierzu gehört die Wiederbegründung und Neuorientierung des RWI (1945 bis 1952) ebenso wie die Rolle des Instituts im wirtschaftlichen Strukturwandel und in der neuen Wirtschafts- und Währungsordnung (1952 bis 1974), in den Krisen der folgenden Jahre (1974 bis 2000) und schließlich die Neuausrichtung im neuen Jahrtausend (2000 bis 2018). Die komplexen Beziehungen zwischen Wirtschaft, Politik und wirtschaftspolitischer Beratung werden dabei offenbar. Ziel des Projekts ist es, nicht nur die Geschichte des RWI zu dokumentieren, sondern diese in die jeweiligen politischen, wirtschaftlichen und wissenschaftlichen Entwicklungen einzubetten. Das so entstehende umfassende Bild geht weit über eine reine "Institutshistorie" hinaus und lässt die deutsche Wirtschaft und Wirtschaftspolitik im Untersuchungszeitraum lebendig werden. This title documents the history of the Rhenish-Westphalian Institute for Economic Research (RWI), re-founded in 1943 as the "Western Division" of the German Institute for Economic Research. Starting from the initial founding in 1926, it includes the post-war re-founding and reorientation of the Institute, its redirection in the new millennium through 2018, and describes the changing economic, political, and scientific contexts of the times.

This open access book describes the differences in US census coverage, also referred to as “differential undercount”, by showing which groups have the highest net undercounts and which groups have the greatest undercount differentials, and discusses why such undercounts occur. In addition to focusing on measuring census coverage for several demographic characteristics, including age, gender, race, Hispanic origin status, and tenure, it also considers several of the main hard-to-count populations, such as immigrants, the homeless, the LBGT community, children in foster care, and the disabled. However, given the dearth of accurate undercount data for these groups, they are covered less comprehensively than those demographic groups for which there is reliable undercount data from the Census Bureau. This book is of interest to demographers, statisticians, survey methodologists, and all those interested in census coverage.
