Research in Indonesian demography : a bibliographic essay

Abstract

The purpose of this essay is to introduce the student of demography to some of the principal analyses of Indonesia’s demographic problems and to suggest areas of needed research. Ten topics are covered, most very briefly: bibliographies; sources of statistical data; general surveys of population and related areas; rural population pressure and agricultural change; internal migration; urban growth; labor force; ethnicity; fertility and mortality; and family planning and population policy. The cited references, stressing writings in English, were selected to represent a broad range of competent studies related to the issues discussed in the text. More comprehensive bibliographies are noted for further reading.
