This is a report on a conference on
population issues held in Quito, Ecuador, in March 1990. "Some 106
parliamentarians from 30 [Latin American and Caribbean] countries [and
Canada] examined the following topics: population and the health of the
family; population and the environment; population and social progress;
[and] population policies: formulation and implementation. Several
case studies were presented on each of the above topics. In these, the
elected leaders examined a specific legislative or program initiative
advanced in their countries; the object was to delineate the
motivations for the initiative, the obstacles which were encountered,
and the final results. The working groups, in turn, allowed for debate
on these initiatives and on others related to the different conference
topics."
