This publication is one in
a
series of country
case studies being prepared by the Population
Division of the Department of International
Economic and Social Affairs of the United
Nations Secretariat. It includes the manner by
which policies, programmes and targets aim to
influence demographic variables directly or
indirectly, how they have been formulated, and
the extent to which they have been
implemented
in
relation to one another and to
other social, economic and political goals.
Emphasis is placed
on
the problems
encountered and the strategies undertaken to
resolve these problems. It investigates many of
the State’s pronatalist policies and its labour
policies, which have attempted to curb the
increase in foreign migrants to the country.
