As far as I remember, the last Japanese census was <BR>> held in 1944 or so. <BR>> <BR>> Best, <BR>> Balazs <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> I am looking for data on the population of North Korea around <BR>
> liberation, i.e. in 1945, <BR>> before the migration towards the South started. My estimate would <BR>> be around 7-8 millions. <BR>> Any hint is highly appreciated. <BR>> <BR>> Best, <BR>> <BR>> Ruediger Frank <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> --------------------------------- <BR>> Win a BlackBerry device from O2 with Yahoo!.
