DESA News: Assessing progress for populations worldwide - Interview with John Wilmoth

When the Commission on Population and Development gathers on 7-11 April, it will be only a few months away from the 20-year anniversary of the largest intergovernmental conference on population and development ever held -- the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) in Cairo in 1994. Ahead of this event, John Wilmoth, Director of UN DESA''s Population Division, spoke with DESA News about some of the demographic trends during the past 20 years and some of the issues currently at stake.
