  • Muslim Fertility , Religion and Religiousness
    1 02/21/07 Fertility and Religiousness Among European Muslims Charles F. Westoff and Tomas Frejka There seems to be a popular belief that Muslim fertility in Europe is much higher than that of non-Muslims. Part of this belief stems from the general impression of high fertility in some Muslim countries in the Middle East, Asia and Africa. This notion is typically transferred to Muslims living in Europe with their increasing migration along with concerns about numbers and assimilability into European society. I The first part of this paper addresses the question of how much difference there is between Muslim and non-Muslim fertility in Europe (in those countries where such information is available). At the beginning of the 21 st century, there are estimated to be approximately 40 – 50 million Muslims in Europe. Almost all of the Muslims in Central and Eastern Europe live in the Balkans. (Kosovo, although formally part of Serbia, is listed as a country in Table 1). In Western Europe the majority of Muslims immigrated after the Second World War. The post-war economic reconstruction and boom required considerably more labor than was domestically available. There were two principal types of immigration to Western Europe: (a) from countries of the respective former colonial empires; and (b) from Southern Europe, the former Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and Turkey. As much of this immigration took place during the 1950s and 1960s large proportions of present-day Muslims are second and third generation descendants. Immigrants to France came mostly from the former North African colonies Algeria (± 35 percent), Morocco (25 percent) and Tunisia (10 percent), and also from Turkey (10 percent).

  • Celebrating the Establishment, Development and Evolution of Statistical Offices Worldwide: a Tribute to John Koren
    Statistical Journal of the IAOS 33 (2017) 337–372 337 DOI 10.3233/SJI-161028 IOS Press Celebrating the establishment, development and evolution of statistical offices worldwide: A tribute to John Koren Catherine Michalopouloua,∗ and Angelos Mimisb aDepartment of Social Policy, Panteion University of Social and Political Sciences, Athens, Greece bDepartment of Economic and Regional Development, Panteion University of Social and Political Sciences, Athens, Greece Abstract. This paper describes the establishment, development and evolution of national statistical offices worldwide. It is written to commemorate John Koren and other writers who more than a century ago published national statistical histories. We distinguish four broad periods: the establishment of the first statistical offices (1800–1914); the development after World War I and including World War II (1918–1944); the development after World War II including the extraordinary work of the United Nations Statistical Commission (1945–1974); and, finally, the development since 1975. Also, we report on what has been called a “dark side of numbers”, i.e. “how data and data systems have been used to assist in planning and carrying out a wide range of serious human rights abuses throughout the world”. Keywords: National Statistical Offices, United Nations Statistical Commission, United Nations Statistics Division, organizational structure, human rights 1. Introduction limitations to this power. The limitations in question are not constitutional ones, but constraints that now Westergaard [57] labeled the period from 1830 to seemed to exist independently of any formal arrange- 1849 as the “era of enthusiasm” in statistics to indi- ments of government....

PRELIMINARY RECONSTRUCTION OF TOTAL MARINE FISHERIES CATCHES FOR THE NETHERLANDS IN THE NORTH SEA (1950-2010) Darah Gibson, Kyrstn Zylich and Dirk Zeller Sea Around Us, Fisheries Centre, University of British Columbia, 2202 Main Mall, Vancouver, BC V6T 1Z4, Canada [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] ABSTRACT Dutch marine fisheries are reconstructed from 1950-2010 within its Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) equivalent waters in the North Sea. The International Council for the Exploration of the Seas (ICES) publically available electronic data are used a ‘reporting’ baseline for the reconstruction. Data and information from ICES stock assessments, peer-reviewed literature, grey literature and local experts are used to estimate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) catch. Estimates of IUU catch are made in terms of discards, unreported, over-reported, and recreational and subsistence catch and are used to improve the reported baseline. Our preliminary reconstructed catch within Dutch EEZ equivalent waters is nearly 2 times the reported baseline catch. The reconstructed catch slightly decreases from a catch of 233,000 t in 1950 to 176,000 t in 2010 with a peak of nearly 500,000 t in 1985.
