These are
the proceedings of a colloquium held during the 1994 Annual Meeting of
the Population Association of America, held in Miami, Florida, which
examined the demographic implications of the North American Free Trade
Agreement. The six contributions examine the demographic impact of
NAFTA in Mexico, family characteristics and the Canadian-U.S. border,
the implications for cooperation among North American demographers, the
likely effect of NAFTA on the population characteristics of the three
countries concerned, and the implications for demography and
demographers in the region.

"This monograph sketches the background, the preparations,
the process and the contents of the ICPD, and evaluates its results and
recommendations by confronting the ICPD Action Programme with the
current scientific literature." The authors conclude that, compared
with the findings of current research on population issues as revealed
in the published literature, the conference probably underestimated the
seriousness and urgency of the issues at stake. "Although the ICPD
Action Programme considers all of the major subjects which had to be
dealt with, some essential topics, such as the stabilization of the
world population at replacement level, the interaction between
population growth and environmental deterioration, and the association
between overconsumption and ecological decay, should have been treated
more thoroughly or in greater detail."

The author discusses the accomplishments of the recent
International Conference on Population and Development held in Cairo.
"At Cairo the nations of the world agreed that government should give
special attention to the education of girls, the health of women, the
survival of infants and young children, and, in general, the
empowerment of women at the same time that they provide comprehensive
reproductive health services to enable couples to determine freely and
responsibly the number and spacing of their
children."

The author reviews the successes and failures of the
International Conference on Population and Development held in Cairo,
Egypt, in September 1994. He suggests that the conference missed the
opportunity to focus on the seriousness of global population trends by
allowing itself to be diverted to consideration of such topics as the
empowerment of women and reproductive health concerns. "The good news
from Cairo is the promise of a significant infusion of money into the
field; however, a third of that is slated for women's reproductive
health and HIV/AIDS-prevention programs. The conference was a
resounding success for the advocates of women's reproductive health but
a disappointment to many concerned about population growth. And the
two are not synonymous."
