The USSR is one of the world's largest economies yet it is difficult to obtain clear and accurate data on its economic performance and its problems. This is partly due to the secrecy that has governed many of its actions and partly because there have been inconsistencies in collecting, collating and publishing the material which has emerged. This volume sets out to provide those interested in contemporary Soviet society with a consistent series of data over a time period from 1945 to the end of the 1980s, for a number of areas including population, industry, agriculture, education and foreign trade. While much of the data comes from official Soviet statistics, material from other sources is used to complement these when appropriate.
In recent years there have been alarming reports of rapid decreases in life expectancy in the New Independent States (former members of the Soviet Union). To help assess priorities for health policy, the Committee on Population organized two workshopsâ€"the first on adult mortality and disability, the second on adult health priorities and policies. Participants included demographers, epidemiologists, public health specialists, economists, and policymakers from the NIS countries, the United States, and Western Europe. This volume consists of selected papers presented at the workshops. They assess the reliability of data on mortality, morbidity, and disability; analyze regional patterns and trends in mortality rates and causes of death; review evidence about major determinants of adult mortality; and discuss implications for health policy.
