Abstract | Demographic factors remain very important in the overall development equation, but the meaning of development remains contested, the increasing inequality in many countries’ income distribution provides a fundamental challenge to current economic systems, and the sustainability of what we have achieved remains in question. The United Nations has issued a challenge to academics and planners by claiming that the framework for population and development beyond 2014 should rest on the five thematic pillars of dignity and human rights, health, place and mobility, governance and accountability, and sustainability. Integrating population policy into overall development policy will continue to require both good analytical abilities and a broader vision of what the goals are. |
