| Title | | | | Food, Land, Population and the U.S. Economy |
|
| Author | | | | David Pimentel and Mario Giampietro |
|
| Abstract | | | | "This report focuses on the interdependency of land, food, and population in the U.S. economy. The United States is in a privileged situation compared to other nations in the world: the per capita endowment of natural resources is relatively high because of the relatively low population density. At the same time, the United States is seriously risking losing this privilege if more attention is not given to the control of population growth (including immigration), the sustainable management of natural resources, and the development of alternative energy sources. The aim of this report is to increase the awareness of policy makers and the public of the importance of the interaction between population growth, self-sufficiency in food production, standard of living and, ultimately, national security." |

| Title | | | | International Data Base (IDB) |
|
| Author | | | | Office of Statistics |
|
| Abstract | | | | The International Data Base (IDB) is a computerized source of demographic and socio-economic statistics for all countries of the world. The IDB combines data from country sources (especially censuses and surveys) with IPC's estimates and projections to provide information dating back as far as 1950 and as far ahead as 2050. Because the IDB is maintained at IPC as a research tool in response to sponsor requirements, the amount of information available for each country may vary. The major types of data available in the IDB include: Population by age and sex Vital rates, infant mortality, and life tables Fertility and child survivorship Migration Marital Status
Family planning Ethnicity, religion, and languague Literacy Labor force, employment, and income Households
Data characteristics:
Temporal: Selected years, 1950-present, projected demographic data to 2050. Spatial: All countries of the world. Resolution:
National population, selected data by urban/rural residence, selected data by age and sex. |

| Title | | | | Sweet Water and Bitter |
|
| Author | | | | Roar Bjonnes |
|
| Abstract | | | | A UN report claims that water not oil, will be the next causeover which nations will go to war. The report (which is never cited in the article) that about 1 billion people currently lack access to clean drinking water. Cites this as the reason for mass
migrations from Burkina Faso in Africa, widespread deforestation in that country, and poorly maintained wells and other water sources. "Hostility and conflict between countries over water resources is most likely in those areas in which a river is shared
by at least two countries... examples of such hot spots include the Ganges, the Nile, the Jordan, the Tigris-Euphrates and Amu
Dar'ya and Syr Dar'ya." (According to UN sources this catalogger consulted, The UN report referred to was probably issued shortly before or after the "Habitat II" UNCHS conference in Istanbul, June 1996.) |
