This study aims to analyze the Population Administration Service Process through the SIAP Application Program in Batu City and to describe the problems faced by the Batu City Government in carrying out the Population Administration Service Process through the SIAP Application Program in Batu City. The data analysis technique used in this study was the data analysis technique from Miles and Huberman, namely: data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion and verification. Based on the results of the research, it shows that the Population Administration Service Process through the Ready in Batu City Application Program facilitates all administrative processes that have been seemingly complicated and long. The problems faced by the Batu City Government in carrying out Population Administration Services through the SIAP Application Program have been reviewed from various things, namely conditional, participatory, equality of rights, the balance of rights and obligations, the government in charge of serving, the community served by the government, the policies that are presented as the foundation of public services, Sophisticated equipment or service facilities, The resort is available to be formulated in the form of service activities, quality of service that formulates the community according to the standards and principles of community service, management and leadership as well as community service organizations. The factor that hinders the Batu city government in providing population administration services through the ready application program in Batu City, namely the readiness of human resources in carrying out population administration services through the SIAP application program, there is a gap in the quality of these services in addition to being caused by inadequate facilities and infrastructure, human resources. which is still limited and also the management of the public service system that is not yet integrated. The factors that support the Batu city government in carrying out population administration services through the ready application program are the attitude and commitment of the implementers in carrying out population administration services that they are fully committed to using this SIAP application wisely so that it can bring many good benefits to the citizens of Batu City. The understanding of the implementer in carrying out population administration services through the SIAP application program is very familiar with how to operate this application because the application is very easy to understand, so it doesn't take a long time to understand it.
The birth of democracy in South Africa and the subsequent economic boom have made the country a prospective haven for many Africans willing or forced to leave their countries. Johannesburg has maintained its reputation as a city where everything is possible and accessible. Berea, Hillbrow, and Yeoville have become destinations for both internal and international (cross-border) migrants as a consequence of their proximity to the city center. However, migrant populations face obstacles that limit access to basic services such as health care, housing, transportation, employment, credit, and security. Asylum-seekers, refugees, and the undocumented are particularly vulnerable and at risk of discrimination. The Population Council and the Ford Foundation conducted a needs assessment to identify and document key social, legal, economic, and health-related issues affecting the populations in the inner city of Johannesburg. Qualitative and quantitative methods were used to explore their needs, health-seeking behavior, capabilities, social networking, and coping strategies. As noted in this research summary, the goal was to understand these experiences and challenges from the migrants' perspective to help develop appropriate interventions to meet their needs.
The ascent to power by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in 1949 was a period of great turmoil and confusion. Mao Zedong, the Chairman of the Party and the head of government emerged as a powerful and willful dictator, and intellectually the chief strategist in determining China's future and what it would become. In the midst of this turmoil, Mao knew that one thing was certain: the population of the country would rise, and the increase would be large enough and swift enough that it would overwhelm the economy and the government. The national economy, even before WW II had left China deeply in poverty, underdeveloped, illiterate, and without direction or hope. All of this was made worse by the Japanese invasion and later the internal civil war. When the Communists won, few could conceive of them leading China to any bright new future.

Ce document "Promouvoir des transitions vers l'âge adulte saines, securisées et productives" donne un aperçu de l'attention du Population Council sur les adolescents qui a commencé au début des années 1990. L'accent a été accompagné d'un engagement à ouvrir le champ des études et des programmes consacrés aux adolescents en élargissant le simple domaine de la sexualité, de la santé génésique et des comportements aux grandes questions sociales et économiques qui sous-tendent la santé et le bien-être des adolescents. En 1998, avec la publication de The Uncharted Passage—un examen de référence de la situation des adolescentes dans les pays en développement—le programme de travail actuel a été lancé. La démarche du Council se caractérise par quatre particularités: une attention prêtée aux implications des sexospécificités au cours de l'adolescence; une approche multisectorielle qui implique des facettes sociétales agissant sur la vie des adolescentes; une préoccupation particulière concernant l'inégalité; et un engagement à mener des recherches politiques documentées en parallèle à un programme de développement et d'évaluation. La prochaine étape de ce travail consistera à démontrer de manière concrète l'impact des investissements dans le développment des aptitudes personnelles et sociales et des ressources au cours de l'adolescence sur les résultats ultérieurs. --- This Promoting Healthy, Safe, and Productive Transitions to Adulthood brief provides an overview of the Population Council's focus on adolescents that began in the early 1990s. The focus has been accompanied by a commitment to move the field of adolescent research and programs from one often narrowly focused on sexuality, reproductive health, and behavior to the broader social and economic issues that underpin adolescent health and well-being. In 1998, with the publication of The Uncharted Passage—a benchmark review of the situation of adolescent girls in developing countries—the current program of work was launched. The Council's approach has been ...
The Republic of Kenya, located astride the equator on the Indian Ocean, enjoys the distinction of being the first tropical African nation to initiate a serious government program in population analysis and family planning. Ghana, Botswana, and the Reunion Islands off the African coast recently followed suit and have positive programs underway. By contrast, most other African states remain apathetic toward their own population problems, and a few are vigorously pronatal. Perhaps the most extreme example is Kenya's island neighbor, Zanzibar, which reportedly has introduced the death penalty for illegal abortions, and banned the sale of all contraceptives.
This paper deals with some variables that are not generally included as economic or market variables in order to show how these affect the question of population growth, which is after all the core of resource allocation. It shows that population growth may also depend on better medical treatments, higher productivity, less local violence and the decline of customary restraints (i.e. social and family pressures), and not only on the evaluation of the benefits and losses of having more children in relation to limited property resources. On the other hand, as far as demographic transition is concerned, there is one essential factor that affects family size throughout the world. This is education. School has decreased mortality by the emphasis on personal and household hygiene. It has then decreased fertility by the increased costs of bringing up children in a school situation, i.e. demographic transition is set in progress without urbanization, industrialization and scarcely without modernization, except for the school itself. Education, as we know it, preceded industrialization and intrusive urbanization in Europe too. It was not until very late (1870) that attempts at introducing compulsory education were made, and it was mass schooling that made a marked difference. Widespread education may also accomplish the control on fertility, i.e. later marriage. Education promotes consumerism and when there is a large gap between achievement in the economic and educational domains, major difficulties arise. Despite earlier hopes the economy has not expanded pari passu with education. There is a gap between the literates and the number of jobs. This discrepancy has produced a floating population of the young who are a threat to political stability. The other outlet is migration overseas. For good or for bad the globalisation of education releases a potent force in the globalisation of the family.
