and on general seminars during which visitors and others discussed important demographic themes. Dr Price took two students for a course on minority groups for the H.A. in Sociology.

Staff Research

The major new work begun in the field of Australian demography uas the preliminary planning and first activities of the Australian family formation project. Those directly concerned were Professor Caldwell, Dr Young, Dr Ware and Mr Lavis. By the end of the year Dr Ware had almost completed a bibliography of Australian family and fertility studies, and the planning for a major survey of a metropolitan population in 1971 was well advnnced. Professor Barrie continued nith his interest in th~ demography of higher education and Dr Basavarajappa prepared population projections to assist this work. Dr Baso.varajappa also continued with his ,1ork on Australian fertility trends. Dr Young worked further on the history of 1:1ortali ty change in Australia and is pro·ceeding to examine native-born and for,ign-born cohorts separately . Two papers have been prepared on these topics.

Beyond Australia Mr van de Kaa completed his study of the demography of Hew Guinea's indigenous population (to be published by the Administration of the Territory of Papua and Nm1 Guinea in 1971). Dr Mc.Arthur proceeded further with her nark on Fiji ziving special emphasis to urbanization. Professor Caldwell completed the analysis of a census age-statement project in West Africa, edited a book relatin__; population growth to socio- economic change in West Africa, and proceeded fUJ'.'ther with a study of the evolution of population policies and population control programmes in Asia. Dr Singarimbun completed his field work on family growth and fertility control in rural Java and is now analysihg the data.

In the migration side of the Department's work, Dr PriGe continued his studies of the comparative history of the restrictive i.Lunigration policies of Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the United States ( doing considerable amount of this during four months' study leave taken in Australia). He and Nrs Pyne continued the long-term anc.lysis of Australian immigration statistics with emphasis on the differential mortality and contribution to natural increase of the native and foreign born. He also undertook a study of emigration from the U.A.R. to Austrc1lia. Dr Kunz continued his study of Displaced Persons in Australia, carrying out subsidiary projects on tertiary- educated and professional groups and on patterns of natu.::::-alization. A cha:)ter and a paper have been prepared for publication on the:Je topics . Dr Burnley worked on immigrants in metropolitan areas and on the residential patterns resulting from their settlement . Drs Price, Kunz ru1d Burnley uorked r.ri th Mrs Nurser as research assistant on a new edition of Australian far:1igratiom a Bibliography and Digest which will be published in 1971.

Several members of the Department also contributed to the general study of ,rorld population trends. Professor Barrie published a book on The Growth and Cont:r:-ol of World Population; Professor Calduell was the major author of A Manual for Surveys of Fertility a.nu Family Pla!1ning~ and Dr Price wrote a paper on the relationship between internc.tional migration and world population gror,th.

Other Activities

Professor Caldi,ell accepted invi tat.ions to demographic conferences in Tokyo and Nen York during October and November. Dr Price attended two meetings of the Refugee and Migration Committee of the World Council of Churches and an international conference convened by the South Africnn Institute of International Affairs at Johannesbur5 . :Jr Burnley attended and presented a paper to a meeting of the New Zealand Geo{.;Taphical Association in Christchurch.
