A special issue featuring the recommendations of the
six expert group meetings convened as part of the
preparations for the 1994 International Conference
on Population and Development. Authorized by the
United Nations Economic and Social Council in its
resolution 1991/93, the six Expert Groups
correspond to the six clusters of issues identified by
the Council as those requiring the greatest attention
during the forthcoming decade. Those clusters of
issues were the following:
- population growth, changes in demographic structure and the regional diversity of such changes
- population policies and programmes
- population, development and environment
- changes in the distribution of population
- linkages between enhancing the roles and socio-economic status of women and population dynamics
- family planning programmes, health and family well-being
This issue also contains a
synthesis of the expert group meetings, including a
brief description of the organizational aspects of
meetings, a summary of their recommendations and
an overview of issues of overriding importance
which were examined at more than one meeting.
