"Demographic and Economic Projections for New York City" (Richard McGahey) reviews demographic and economic projections for the city and its boroughs that were developed by a number of forecasters. Next, "The Location of People and Jobs within New York City" (Dick Netzer) discusses implications of the projections for physical development policies (mainly in regard to transportation and housing). The next three papers treat critical human services policy areas. These papers are: "Welfare and Family Policy in New York City" (Elizabeth Durbin); "Demographic Trends and Youth Employment Policy: A Look to the Year 2000" (John M. Jeffries); and "Crime and Criminal Justice" (Richard McGahey). The final paper, "The Methodology and Major Sources of Demographic and Economic Projections for New York City" (Susan Sheehan Wieler and Margaret Vandervoort), discusses the techniques employed and data limitations encountered by demographers when making projections. Emphasis is placed on how the choice of particular methods and sources ultimately influences conclusions regarding public policy. (KH)
