 The purpose of my book is to analyse how, in XXth c France, population institutions, policies and theories built ...
Alfred Sauvy was a polytechnician, which meant that he was convinced to own a universal knowledge.
Sauvy was a population student but not a demographer: the distinction that Libby Schweber has drawn for the XIXth c still holds true, in a different way, for the mid-XXth c.
For Sauvy, as for Landry, as for Lotka, or even a century earlier for Bertillon, demography would be a welcoming field, at one and the same time unforeseen, restricted but generous, a space of freedom caught between established disciplines which invariably expelled marginals who disobeyed their rules.

 Third World - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The subjective terms First World, Second World, and Third World, can be used to divide the nations of Earth into three broad categories.
Third World is a term first coined in 1952 by French demographer Alfred Sauvy to distinguish nations that aligned themselves with neither the West nor with the Soviet Bloc during the Cold War.
Today, however, the term is frequently used to denote nations with a low UN Human Development Index (HDI), independent of their political status (meaning that the PRC, Russia and Brazil, all of which were very strongly aligned during the Cold War, are often termed third world).

 Third World definition
The French demographer Alfred Sauvy coined the expression ("tiers monde" in French) in 1952 by analogy with the "third estate," the commoners of France before and during the French Revolution-as opposed to priests and nobles, comprising the first and second estates respectively.
Like the third estate, wrote Sauvy, the third world is nothing, and it "wants to be something." The term therefore implies that the third world is exploited, much as the third estate was exploited, and that, like the third estate its destiny is a revolutionary one.
It conveys as well a second idea, also discussed by Sauvy, that of non-alignment, for the third world belongs neither to the industrialized capitalist world nor to the industrialized Communist bloc.

Image:HDImap current.png Third World is a term first coined in 1952 by French demographer Alfred Sauvy to distinguish nations that aligned themselves with neither the West nor with the Soviet Bloc during the Cold War.
Today, however, the term is frequently used to denote nations with a low UN Human Development Index (HDI), independent of their political status (meaning that the PRC, Russia and Mexico, all of which were very strongly aligned during the Cold War, are often termed third world).
A quite different use of the term "Third World" is found in the work of economist Alfred Sauvy in an article in the French magazine L'Observateur of August 14, 1952.

This reminded me of a conversation I had in Bucharest in1974 with the late Alfred Sauvy, one of the great pioneers of economic demography, while we were waiting for the opening of the World Population Conference.
Sauvy that when I was an undergraduate at the American University of Beirut in the mid-50s, the professor teaching us Middle Eastern economics told us that the limit of Arabian Gulf oil reserves was 30 years.
Sauvy replied: “30 years is not the limit of oil reserves, it is the limit of human imagination.” Remembering these wise words, I decided to stretch the title of my statement and make it: ICPD + 10 or Bucharest +30?

A term once commonly used to designate the countries of Asia, Africa, Latin America, and elsewhere that were economically less developed.
The phrase is attributed to French analyst Alfred Sauvy, who in 1952 used tiers mondeto describe neutral countries in the cold war.
Sauvy used the older tiers, instead of the more modern troisieme, to allude to the pre-Revolutionary (1789) "third estate" (tiers,tat), that is, the underprivileged class, the commoners.

Alfred Sauvy, co-founder of the Institute alongside Robert Debré, was appointed as its first director.
An economist, statistician and demographer, but also a journalist and writer, Alfred Sauvy sought from the outset to give INED a multidisciplinary profile and welcomed researchers from a wide variety of backgrounds.
During his years as director (1945-1962), a "French school of demography" was born, and INED established its solid international reputation.

The expression “Third World”; (Tiers Monde) was coined by the French demographer Alfred Sauvy in 1952 to refer to the young nations of Asia and Africa that were moving toward independence from the European colonial powers in the aftermath of the Second World War.
Sauvy saw in their aspirations similarities with the “third estate” of pre-Revolutionary France, which in the national assembly represented the common people in contradistinction to the other two minority but privileged groups—the clergy and the nobility.
After these young African and Asian nations began their independent lives, some of them tried to assume a neutral political stance vis-à-vis the “first world” of industrialized countries that followed a market economy and the “second world” of Communist nations with their government-controlled economies.

"The term 'Third World' was first used by French demographer Alfred Sauvy in 1952, and was immediately popularized in journalistic and diplomatic media.
In the sense in which Sauvy used it, it was an allusion to the tiers etat (third estate) of French society before the revolution of 1789.
This second-class tiers etat was made up of people deprived of privileges -- as opposed to the clergy and nobility -- and included a wide range of social categories: merchants, civil servants, artisans, peasants, and salaried workers.

I still remember the great Alfred Sauvy claiming at the first European Conference, in Strasbourg, how much he had been taught by Louis Henry about demography.

It's a very cheerful story: French demographer Alfred Sauvy coined "tiers monde" in 1952 by analogy with the "third estate," the commoners of France before and during the French Revolution: Priests came 1st, then nobles.
Like the third estate, wrote Sauvy, the third world is nothing, and it "wants to be something." Did I mention Sauvy was French?

The term Third World was first used by the French economist and demographer Alfred Sauvy in an article published in 1952.
As an observer points out, “Sauvy’s term carries not only the connotation of exclusion from power but also, especially from a French writer, the idea of revolutionary potential".
