Population Bulletins, Year 1999

Population and Health: An Introduction to Epidemiology (PDF: 366KB)
This Population Bulletin explains the terms, methods, and materials scientists use to study the health of populations, as well as the historical underpinnings of the modern-day science of epidemiology. Epidemiology provides a unique way of viewing and investigating disease and injury. (December 1999)

America's Racial and Ethnic Minorities
This Population Bulletin offers readers a chance to see how America's racial and ethnic groups compare with one another across a host of demographic dimensions. As Americans reassess their view of the nation and its future, they will no doubt express contradictory views and arrive at different positions on public policy issues. Resolving those differences will be easier if Americans understand the current demographic reality of U.S. minority populations. (September 1999)

Immigration to the United States
This Population Bulletin examines current immigration patterns and policies in the United States, reviews the peaks and troughs of immigration flows, and provides a historical perspective on contemporary trends. (June 1999)

World Population Beyond Six Billion (PDF: 346KB)
This Population Bulletin chronicles the demographic history of the world and the changes in population in less developed and more developed countries, providing a rich store of data about population before 1900, from 1900 to 1950, and from 1950 to 2000. It describes a new world vision of what to do about population issues and draws attention to particular population groups, such as the elderly, women, children and adolescents, migrants, and people at high risk of HIV/AIDS. (March 1999)
