Population Bulletin

The Population Reference Bureau (PRB) publishes a quarterly bulletin in hard-copy and electronic format that covers subjects related to domestic and international population research. Each Bulletin, typically 44 pages in length, treats a specific topic - ranging from immigration to world health to gender. Issues are distributed to members of the PRB and include graphs and tables, references, and suggested resources. Visitors to the PRB website may read the full text of more recent Bulletins in PDF format, or may access an excerpt or a description of older issues.

PRB has been publishing the Population Bulletin since September 1945. Topics in 2002 included "What Drives U.S. Population Growth?", "Facing the HIV/AIDS Pandemic", "Poverty in America: Beyond Welfare Reform", and "International Migration: Facing the Challenge". As of this writing, the most recent edition (published June 2008), "Population Dynamics in Latin America", focuses on the fact that, despite declining fertility, negative migration rates, and declining growth rates, the size of Latin America's population is expected to increase from 520 million to 800 million by 2050.
