This monograph provides background
information about the International Conference on Population and
Development (ICPD), which was held in Cairo, Egypt, in September 1994.
Information is included about the preparation, proceedings, and
contents of the meeting. By comparing the ICPD Action Programme with
the current scientific literature, the monograph also evaluates the
results and recommendations of the conference. The authors conclude
that "the ICPD dealt with the key issues concerning the
interrelations between population, development and environment, and
their causes, and was not limited to marginal issues such as abortion,
promiscuity and homosexuality as was the impression given in the media
as a result of the way these questions were distorted by the action of
religious fundamentalists. The ICPD Action Programme forms an
impressive charter with a broad range of relevant policy
recommendations. Nevertheless, compared to most of the current
scientific literature, the ICPD seems to underestimate the seriousness
and urgency of the issues at stake."

social data in Europe. "This book is...devoted to the problems of
comparability in population research: the advantages and limitations of
comparative research; the comparability of definitions and data in the
field of households, families, and fertility; the comparison of health,
morbidity, and mortality data; and finally the problems of
comparability in migration research." The 33 papers included are

pp. Edmonton, Canada. In Eng.
The author briefly reviews issues and
controversies raised at the UN International Conference on Population
and Development held in Cairo, Egypt, in 1994. "The least one can
say is that even if the conference itself has no effect, the themes
that were discussed are at the very least indictors of what is
acceptable in the outside world. The progression from the barest
whisper of birth control in 1927 to defense of abortion, divorce,
cohabitation, homosexuality, shows a steady broadening of the range of
acceptable language, thought, and action; the conference proceedings
tell much of how the world has changed."
