NEW POPULATION POLICIES: ADVANCING WOMEN’S HEALTH AND RIGHTS
Lori S. Ashford
What the paper says
This March 2001 issue of the Population Bulletin reviews the evolution of national population policies particularly following the historic 1994 Cairo conference. In the 20th century population policies focused on slowing the unprecedented pace of population growth. This changed in the 21st century when policies corresponded to new perceptions about population and the appropriate solutions for population problems. This new perspective shifted the emphasis of population policies away from slowing population growth to improving the lives of individuals particularly women. This issue describes the new focus on improving reproductive health womens rights and how governments have tried to incorporate this new approach in their policies and programs. It includes an examination of possible new directions for population policies.
