Some interesting links (Population Studies, Statistics, and Cinema) CPS demographic links
The Centre for Population Studies (CPS) is a research unit within the Department of Epidemiology &
Population Health of the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine. CPS is engaged in the
measurement and explanation of population trends and in the evaluation of attempts to modify them.
The Centre is active in research both on Britain and Europe and on the demography of developing
countries. It provides much of the teaching for the MSc in Medical Demography and the new MSc in Reproductive & Sexual Health Research and is host to about a dozen research students at any time. CPS adopts a multidisciplinary approach to its activities. The staff combine expertise in demography with backgrounds and experience in sociology, anthropology, mathematics, statistics, biology, epidemiology and public health.

FFS - INF2 Risultati dell' Indagine Nazionale. Convegno ad Abano Terme (Padova 8-11 giugno 1998).
Dopo 16 anni (1979: prima Indagine sulla fecondità nel quadro del progetto World Fertlity Survey), tra Novembre 1995 e Gennaio 1996 è stata realizzata una nuova indagine, mediante interviste, sui comportamenti coniugali e riproduttivi degli italiani e sulle loro aspettative di fecondità (4.824 donne e 1.206 uomini di età 20-49 anni [generazioni dal 1946 al 1975]), posti in relazione con i percorsi individuali di istruzione, lavoro, provenienza familiare. La ricerca si inserisce nel progetto internazionale Fertility and Family Surveys (per gli anni ‘90), che è coordinato dalla Commissione Economica per l’Europa della Nazioni Unite (Ginevra) e che interessa 20 Paesi. Del folto Gruppo di lavoro, coordinato dal prof. Paolo De Sandre (demografo dell’Università di Padova), fanno parte studiosi (specie demografi, ma anche statistici e sociologi) di varie Università - in particolare Padova, Bologna, Firenze, Roma ‘la Sapienza’- e ricercatori dell’Istat e dell’Istituto di Ricerche sulla Popolazione del Cnr.

OPR's Data Archive
The Data Archive at the Office of Population Research (Princeton University) holds a number of specialized datasets, including:
- American Fertility Surveys
- European Fertility Decline
- The World Fertility Survey (WFS)
- The Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS)
- Chinese Fertility Surveys
- Hutterite Fertility Data These data are of great historical interest. They represent a natural fertility population with a very high level of marital fertility and were used as a standard in the European Fertility Study against which the fertility levels of other populations were measured.
StatLib Index
Welcome to StatLib, a system for distributing statistical software, datasets, and information by electronic mail, FTP and WWW. StatLib started out as an e-mail service and some of the organization still reflects that heritage. We hope that this document will give you sufficient guidance to navigate through the archives. For your convenience there are several sites around the world which serve as full or partial mirrors to StatLib.
