New urban families. Conclusions and recommendations of a workshop on nutrition held at Vienna, 28 August 1971.

The discussions at the Workshop were restricted specifically to the nutritional problems of families who move from rural to urban areas. The phrase 'New Urban Families' has been used to describe them. It is clear that the magnitude and the nature of the problems differ markedly in different countries. It is also evident that some of the problems relating to their nutrition are generally applicable and that no government can deal with the problems of New Urban Families without also considering the needs of the population of the whole country. Nevertheless, the problems of New Urban Families are so acute, that they merit detailed consideration in their own right.
