The Contemporary Population Challenge
نویسنده
چکیده
The present is unexpectedly a critical time for population change and policy. We are little more than half way through the great population growth spurt that began in the middle of the twentieth century, but developed-country governments seem to be losing interest in the issue. This loss of interest may have a significant demographic impact. The probable reasons for the declining interest are a vague belief that the present demographic change has a momentum of its own, a reaction to the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) in Cairo in 1994 which may misinterpret the complex document that came out of that meeting, and a preoccupation with below-replacement-level fertility in the developed world.
