20th-Century U.S. Generations
Population Bulletin, Vol. 64, No.1: By virtue of when they were born, members of each generation live through unique times shaped by unexpected historical events, changing political climates, and evolving socioeconomic conditions.
Fact Sheet. Baringo County, Kenya, Family Planning
The Baringo County Integrated Development Plan (2018-22) establishes a vision “To be the most attractive, competitive, and resilient county that affords the highest standard of living and security to all its residents.”
(2019) More than 300 million people live in the United States and getting an accurate count of each and every one of them is no easy feat. As the U.S. population has grown—from just under 4 million in 1790 to more than 329 million in 2019—the Census Bureau’s enumeration methods (how they count people) have evolved to adapt to new technologies, increase efficiency and accuracy, and help to control rising costs.
(2003) Hena is four months pregnant and her expression tells it all: Her eyes are dull and her face is pale as she waits to be examined by the doctors at Calcutta Rescue, a nongovernmental organization that works with poor people.
(2002) Life expectancy is a hypothetical measure. It represents the average number of additional years that a person could expect to live if current mortality trends were to continue for the rest of that person's life. But death rates do not remain fixed over time.
(2012) The impact of humans on climate is shaped by choices such as what we eat, where we live, how we travel, and how we heat our homes. Research has shown that all of these consumption patterns are influenced by various demographic characteristics, yet most projections of future emissions and related climate impacts focus only on population size.
After three decades of combating HIV/AIDS, scientists have made advances that have helped HIV-infected individuals live longer and better quality lives.

HIV/AIDS and Older Adults in the United States
After three decades of combating HIV/AIDS, scientists have made advances that have helped HIV-infected individuals live longer and better quality lives. These advances have also created new challenges as now over a quarter of the U.S. HIV-infected population is ages 50 and older.
This newsletter reviews some recent research, either sponsored by the U.S. National Institute on Aging or by other organizations, on aging and HIV/AIDS.
