After a relatively short period during which the epidemic was concentrated in certain \"high-risk\" groups the disease spread throughout the country and by 2005 had become a \"generalized epidemic\" - with a 1 per cent HIV prevalence rate among adults aged 15-49. The most recent (2007) estimates suggest that the adult prevalence rate has risen to 1.6 per cent confirming that the epidemic is continuing to grow rapidly. The scale of the human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) epidemic in the country has reached the point where future demographic patterns are likely to be affected possibly severely. Among the demographic impacts to be expected based on the experience of other countries with generalized epidemics are an increase in the number of deaths particularly among young adults leading in turn to reduced life expectancy. The rate of population growth will drop as a higher death rate reduces the rate of natural increase. The number of births can also be expected to decline owing to the impaired fecundity of HIV positive women. Changes to the age structure follow from the concentration of excess AIDS mortality in the young adult age groups.

The Fifth National Population Census in 2000 reports that the total population of mainland China stands at 1.27 billion while the 1 Percent National Population Sample Survey (mini-census) carried out in November 2005 reports the total population to be at 1.31 billion (National Statistics Bureau (NSB) 2006). China is also the country with the most stringent and government-directed family planning programme and fertility policy having experienced a dramatic decline in fertility from 5 to 6 children per woman in the 1950s to less than 2 in recent years. The 2000 census reports Chinas total fertility rate (TFR) to be at 1.4. The rapid changes occurring in Chinas population dynamics call for a review of the fertility transition in China in terms of trends policy and impact. This article will first discuss the population dynamics ongoing in China in terms of growth birth rate and fertility and then examine the fertility policy implemented by the Government of China before exploring the impact of fertility decline in terms of population ageing gender equality sex ratio at birth and labour supply.

Demographers in the mid-1990s could not have predicted that fertility would fall so rapidly to such levels. Interestingly the pace of the decline accelerated after the region-wide economic crisis in 1997. Not only did fertility but also other indicators related to fertility and the family adjusted suddenly and significantly after the country had passed through the crisis. The present article aims to explain why lowest-low fertility appeared in the Republic of Korea in the late 1990s. The author approaches the recent fertility decline from a broader perspective that considers the traditional and cultural legacies which affect the everyday life of ordinary citizens. Finally this article presents and discusses the latest population policies proposed by the Government of the Republic of Korea.

Fertility in Pakistan probably began to decline in the early 1990s or even in the late 1980s. Significantly all estimates for the 1990s for the first time fell below 6.0 births per woman to a little less than five. This is in contrast to numerous surveys that indicated that the TFR remained above six births per woman in the 1980s. Furthermore the last census held finally in 1998 indicated that the average population growth rate for the period 1981-1998 was 2.6 per cent per annum a decline from previous intercensal rates consistent with a decline in fertility in the 1990s. While this trend in fertility decline has continued - even touted as one of the \"fastest declines in Asia\" - the latest Pakistan Demographic and Health Survey (PDHS) indicates a stall in fertility at four children per woman.

The first section summarizes current trends in fertility in some Asian countries particularly where fertility has reached very low levels. Changes in marriage (particularly delays in marriage) in those countries are discussed in the second section. Available evidence of the disaggregation of fertility decline into marriage change and marital fertility decline is then summarized. The fourth section examines the factors influencing marriage and those influencing fertility within marriage considering the extent to which they are interlinked or separate. A brief discussion of policy on marriage change for fertility reduction rounds out the substantive scope followed by the final section that draws some conclusions.

The study postulates that these changes may prove significant for both the countries - affecting inter alia the size and clearance mechanism of their labour markets nature of dependencies increasing ratios of young to old etc. The study further postulates that a fair proportion of families in the two countries may find it difficult to endure old-age dependencies owing to increasingly widespread casualization of employment and jobless growth. Enduring old-age dependencies may also be difficult due to limited work opportunities for older persons functional disabilities perpetuating poverty lack of social assistance compression in real public health expenditure etc. The study also postulates that the pro-market changes in these countries may not particularly conform to their age structure changes. It may as well create a situation fraught with a significant economic-demographic mismatch.

Because it moved so slowly - largely hidden from view - there were no exciting pictures of it to show on the daily news. The mainstream mass media never rushed in to cover \"the story\".

Experience shows that survey respondents especially in countries where abortion is illegal and/or highly stigmatized tend to grossly under-report abortions. It is estimated that only about one third of abortions were reported in the World Fertility Surveys (WFS) undertaken in 40 developing countries. Jones and Forrest (1992) estimated that only 35 per cent of the actual abortions in the four-year period prior to the 1988 United States National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) were reported in the survey. However abortion is legal in Viet Nam and thus although some abortions undoubtedly went unreported in the VNDHS II the survey provides one of the better opportunities available to understand the factors underlying decisions by women in a developing country setting to terminate unintended pregnancies or carry them to term as unintended live births.

Much of the research on empowerment is about women having the resources technical material and physical to take decisions to be physically mobile and to manipulate their larger environment. In turn this empowerment is valorized because of all the good uses to which it is typically put according to the large and growing literature on female empowerment. The autonomous or empowered women is supposed to be good for society and for the family because her autonomy results in lower fertility lower infant and child mortality better household welfare higher contributions to economic development and other benefits. But there is much less concern with what autonomy and empowerment can do for women themselves with the exception of the demographic outcomes like better health.
