Milos. The significance of the United Nations
international population conferences. Population Bulletin of the
United Nations, No. 19-20, 1987. 14-25 pp. New York, New York. In Eng.
"In this paper the four international population conferences held
under the auspices of the United Nations are placed in historical
perspective. Although each was unique, together they comprise a
coherent whole reflecting the changing world situation and the
increasing understanding of population dynamics and policies." The
specific contributions of the Rome, Belgrade, Bucharest, and Mexico
City conferences are summarized. The author concludes that "taken
together, the four conferences transformed demography from a purely
statistical discipline to a multidisciplinary science extending into
the domain of population policies and
programmes."
