EU Population up by 0.4% in 2001 Due Mainly to Net Migration 67$7 7 August 2002 European population trends in 2001 (8 SRSXODWLRQ XS E\ LQ GXH PDLQO\ WRQHWPLJUDWLRQ Population down in most of the Central and Eastern European candidate countries On 1 January 2002 the populations of the (XURSHDQ8QLRQ and of the HXUR]RQH were 379.6 million and 305.2 million respectively. The (8 population increased by 1 560 000 in 2001, an annual rate of 0.4%, exactly the same as the figure in 2000. Net migration accounted for about three-quarters of the population increase in 2001, with natural growth accounting for the other quarter. Natural growth has been below net migration since 1989. The rise in the (8 population was 2% of the total increase of the world's population in 2001. The main contributors to world population growth were ,QGLD (with an increase of more than 16 million, or 20% of the total world increase), &KLQD (14%) and RWKHUGHYHORSLQJFRXQWULHV (nearly 60%). The 8QLWHG6WDWHV, with 279.3 million inhabitants at the start of 2002, recorded a population increase of 0.9% in 2001, with natural growth accounting for nearly two-thirds of the increase. -DSDQ, with 126.9 million people, recorded an increase of 0.2%, due solely to natural growth. 1 These data come from a report published jointly today by (XURVWDWWKH6WDWLVWLFDO2IILFHRIWKH(XURSHDQ 2 &RPPXQLWLHVLQ/X[HPERXUJ, and the &RXQFLORI(XURSH . %LJGLIIHUHQFHVLQSRSXODWLRQWUHQGVLQWKH0HPEHU6WDWHVDQGWKHFDQGLGDWHFRXQWULHV The population increased in every (8 Member State in 2001. The increase was highest in ,UHODQG (1.5%) and /X[HPERXUJ (1.1%) and lowest in *HUPDQ\ and $XVWULD (both 0.2%). On the other hand, all the FDQGLGDWH FRXQWULHV recorded a drop in population, apart from 7XUNH\ (+1.7%), &\SUXV and 0DOWD (both +0.8%) and 6ORYHQLD (+0.2%). The population was unchanged in 6ORYDNLD and declined most in %XOJDULD (-2.7%) and /DWYLD (-0.6%). Within the (8, the highest natural growth rates (difference between the number of births and deaths per thousand inhabitants) occurred in ,UHODQG (7.3 per 1000) and )UDQFH (4.2) whereas the rate was negative in *HUPDQ\ (-1.1), 6ZHGHQ (-0.3) and *UHHFH (-0.1). The population would have fallen in these three countries but for positive net migration. Natural growth was lower than net migration in every Member State in 2001, apart from )UDQFH, the 1HWKHUODQGV and )LQODQG. 3 There was virtually no change in 2001 in the fertility rate in the (8: 1.47 children per woman compared with 1.48 in 2000. This pattern was seen in most of the Member States, apart from ,UHODQG, where the rate rose sharply, and *HUPDQ\, /X[HPERXUJ, $XVWULD and 3RUWXJDO, where it went down. /LIHH[SHFWDQF\LQWKH(8IRUZRPHQDQGIRUPHQ The infant mortality rate in the (8 in 2001 averaged 4.6 deaths for every thousand live births, with the figures ranging from a low of 3.2 in 6ZHGHQand )LQODQG to a high of 5.9 in *UHHFH and /X[HPERXUJ. The lowest rates among the candidate countries were recorded in the &]HFK5HSXEOLF (4.0 per thousand) and 6ORYHQLD (4.3), and the highest rates in 5RPDQLD (18.4) and 7XUNH\ (38.7, but this should be compared with the 1980 figure of 95.4 deaths for every thousand live births). Average life expectancy in the (8 in 2001 was 81.4 years for women (compared with 77.2 in 1980) and 75.3 for men (70.5 in 1980). The highest figures for life expectancy were in )UDQFH for women (83.0) and 6ZHGHQ for men (77.5). ,UHODQG was the country where life expectancy was shortest, both for males (73.0) and females (78.5). In the candidate countries life expectancy was longest in &\SUXV: 80.4 for women and 75.3 for men (1998 data). Life expectancy was shortest in 7XUNH\ for women (71.0) and /DWYLD for men (64.5). %HWZHHQDQGRIELUWKVRXWVLGHPDUULDJHLQWKH6FDQGLQDYLDQFRXQWULHV)UDQFHDQG WKH8QLWHG.LQJGRP The total number of marriages went down by 15% in the (8 between 1980 and 2000, while the number of divorces increased by 40%. During this period the number of marriages per thousand people declined in every (8 Member State apart from 'HQPDUN. The figure in 2001 was highest in 'HQPDUN (6.6) and lowest in 6ZHGHQ (4.0). The most divorces per thousand people occurred in %HOJLXP (2.9 in 2001), with the lowest figures being recorded in ,UHODQG and ,WDO\ (both 0.7 in 2000). In 2001 more than half of all births (55.5%) occurred outside marriage in 6ZHGHQ and the figure was also close to or above 40% in 'HQPDUN, )UDQFH, )LQODQG and the 8QLWHG.LQJGRP.

  • Societal Risk Perception by Laypersons Living in Venezuela
    Societal risk perception by laypersons living in Venezuela. A Latin countries comparison* La percepción de riesgo social por laicos que viven en Venezuela. Una comparación entre países Latinos Received: 23 July 2015 | Accepted: 01 December 2015 Ana Gabriela Guédez** Universidad de Jean Jaurès, Francia ABSTRACT The present study presents the mean risk magnitude judgments on 91 activities, substances, and technologies expressed by Venezuelan adults living in the two main cities of this country: Caracas and Maracaibo. These judgments were compared methodically with findings on other samples of previous studies, namely four other Latin countries: France, Spain, Brazil, and Portugal. The aim of this study was to structure the cross-country differences in risk perception between the aforementioned countries and Venezuela using cluster analysis. A 91-hazard x 5 country matrix was created. Two main clusters were found. The Economically and Socially Challenging group (Venezuela and Portugal) and the Western Europe group (France and Spain). Brazil was situated closer to the **Departamento de Psicología Cognitiva. E-mail: Venezuelan and Portugal cluster than was the Western Europe group. [email protected] The common denominator in the Economically and Socially Challenging group can be the economic and social problems that both of these countries struggle against. It was reasonable that Brazil was closer to this cluster, given its similarities to both countries (in geographical and cultural terms). More explanations for these clusters were presented in the discussion. Finally, some recommendations and limitations are also presented and more research in this field is suggested as well. Keywords risk perception, social psychology, latin countries, Venezuela.

  • Monetary Union, Price Level Convergence, and Inflation: How Close Is Europe to the United States?
    Monetary union, price level convergence, and inflation: How close is Europe to the United States? John H. Rogers* July 2000 (Current Draft: January 11, 2003) Abstract: I document the pattern of price dispersion across European and U.S. cities from 1990 to 2001. I find a striking decline in dispersion for traded goods prices in Europe, most of which took place between 1991 and 1994. The level of traded goods price dispersion in the euro area is now quite close to that of the United States. I examine several possible explanations for the decline in Europe: harmonization of tax rates, convergence of incomes and labor costs, liberalization of trade and factor markets, and increased coherence of monetary policy. Surprisingly, there is only weak correlation between changes in the dispersion of traded goods prices and nominal exchange rates. I also investigate the determinants of national inflation rates in Europe. Although some is explained by price level convergence, conventional factors are more important. There is no evidence of a Balassa-Samuelson effect on inflation. Finally, after showing that prices in likely next-round entrants into the euro zone are well below prices in Western Europe, I discuss the potential inflationary consequences of accession into monetary union for Eastern Europe.

    Eleonora Gabrielian & Daniel Zohary Wild relatives of food crops native to Armenia and Nakhichevan Abstract Gabrielian, E. & Zohary, D.: Wild relatives of food crops native to Armenia and Nakhichevan. — Fl. Medit. 14: 5-80. 2004. — ISSN 1120-4052. The paper surveys the variability, ecology, and distribution of the wild relatives of food crops (cereals, legumes, oil and fiber plants, vegetables, condiments, fruits and nut trees) native to Armenia and Nakhichevan. It focuses on the close wild relatives, i.e., members of the primary wild gene pools (GP-1) of the crops. The wild relatives of about 80 crops were surveyed; and the available information on the distribution (in Armenia and Nakhichevan)) of most of these relatives is also illustrated by 93 site distribution maps. Introduction The aim of this paper is to survey the wild relatives of cultivated food plants that occur in Armenia and Nakhichevan (South Trans-Caucasus). We focus on the close wild rela- tives, which are fully (or almost fully) cross compatible and inter-fertile with their related cultigens, and therefore most attractive to the breeders. In other words, this paper is con- cerned mainly with Armenia’s primary wild gene pools (GP-1) of crops. Some of the more distant wild relatives, which according to Harlan and De Wet (1971) definition belong to the secondary and tertiary wild gene pools (GP-2 and GP-3) of their related crops are sometimes mentioned as well; but usually only in brief. Armenia is a relatively small country. However, it is geo-morphologically and ecologi- cally very varied. More over, it is situated on the cross roads between several phytogeo- graphic regions.

  • Consumer Behavior Across Cultures When
    C H A P T E R 1 Consumer Behavior Across Cultures When the Canadian media philosopher Marshall McLuhan1 coined the concept of the global village, he was referring to Plato’s definition of the proper size for a city—the number of people who could hear the voice of the public speaker. By the global village, McLuhan meant that the new electric media of his time, such as telephone and television, abolished the spatial dimen- sion. By means of electricity,people everywhere could resume person-to-person relations, as if on the smallest village scale. Thus, McLuhan viewed the electronic media as extensions of human beings. They enhance people’s activities; they do not make people the same. If you assume people are the same everywhere, global media extend homogeneity.If you realize that people are different, extensions reinforce the differences. McLuhan did not include cultural convergence in the concept of the global village. In fact, he said the opposite: that uniqueness and diversity could be fostered under electronic conditions as never before. This is exactly what technological development has accomplished. Contrary to expectations, people have embraced the Internet and other new technology mostly to enhance their current activities. In the cold climates, where people used to preserve food in the snow, they have embraced deep-freeze technology most intensely.The colder the climate, the more deep freez- ers. In Korea, where people used to preserve the national dish Kimchi in pots in the ground, they developed a special refrigerator to be able to do this in the home.

This report has not been published by the U.S. Department of Justice.

SERGEJ FLERE RELIGIOSITY AND DELINQUENCY The relationship between religiosity and delinquency is studied on a survey sample (1200) of Maribor university undergraduates (2003). Ensuing from the Hirschi and Stark assertion (1969) as to lack of link between religiosity and delinquency, as well as from the transformation of religiosity during post-modernity in a relativistic direction, it was supposed that there would be no link between religiosity and delin- quency. This was rejected in this study by a finding of significant variation in the odds ratio as to committing delinquent acts among those who are intensively religious and those who are not religious at all. It was found that personal religios- ity does have a definite inhibitory effect upon general type delinquency, even though the beta coefficient was not high (.155, sig..000).
