Comparative study of migration and urbanization in relation to development : a framework
<p>The ESCAP Comparative Study of the Relationships of Migration and Urbanization to Development was initiated in July 1977 with a view to assisting decision makers in policy formulation for population redistribution in countries of the ESCAP region. The study outline was discussed and approved by the Expert Group Meeting on Migration and Human Settlements held at Bangkok in June 1977. Over a period of two years (1977-1979) the study has been extended in scope as well as in the number of countries participating. This issue of Population Research Leads is the first publication in a series on the topic of migration and urbanization. It includes the study outline and possible utilization of the study findings by policy-makers. The project is funded by UNFPA.</p>

<p>This paper presents data on contraceptive prevalence from 26 national sample surveys conducted in the. Asian and Pacific region during the period 1966-1984. The basic data presented are (1) contraceptive prevalence rates (the percentage of married women of reproductive age who were practising contraception at the time of the survey), cross-classified by age where possible; and (2) the percentage of couples using each contraceptive method, also cross-classified by age where possible. In order to facilitate comparison between countries and across time, the data are presented in a standardised form, both numerically and graphically.</p>
