East-West Center Occasional Papers: Population and Health Series present findings and policy implications from research on population issues in Asia, the Pacific, and the United States. The series reflects diverse disciplinary and cultural perspectives on population issues. The series began in 1970 under the title Working Papers of the East-West Population Institute. In 1973, it became Papers of the East-West Population Institution; in 1992, Papers of the Program on Population; in 1994, East-West Center Occasional Papers: Population Series; and in 2001, East-West Center Occasional Papers: Population and Health Series.

No. 123, Population Policies and Programs in East Asia edited by Andrew Mason. July 2001. ix, 157 pp. $7.00

The papers in this volume examine the population policies in six East Asian economies as part of a larger project examining the links between population change and economic development in the most dynamic region in the world. The economies had varied approaches to population policy, but all achieved unusually fast fertility decline. Rapid social and economic development played a primary role in determining birth rates, but effective intervention by the state accelerated the transition to low fertility levels. A second volume, Population change and economic development in East Asia: Challenges met, opportunities seized, published by Stanford University Press, examines the economic consequences of population change in East Asia.

No. 122, Urbanization and population redistribution in Mongolia by Ricardo Neupert and Sidney Goldstein. December 1994. viii, 59 pp. Paper, ISBN 0-86638-166-X. $7.00

Mongolia serves as a valuable case study of both the processes of urbanization and development and the course of change as countries undergo a transition from a socialist to a market economy. Three factors have been significant in Mongolia's urbanization: (1) industrialization policy, which created industrial complexes in existing urban locations and at new sites; (2) marginal increases in rural production that could not absorb the growing rural population; and (3) administrative channeling of job movement to urban areas where labor resources were needed. Development since the 1980s suggests that rural-to-urban migration will increase and that urban areas will continue to grow through in-migration and high fertility, placing a strain on natural resources and infrastructure.
