Age structural transitions include declines in mortality and fertility, as well as related changes in family and social arrangements. This conference will focus primarily on the second group, i.e. countries that are in the later stages of a fertility transition, including many Asian and Latin American countries. The topics to be considered include two broad aspects. Recent demographic history has caused rapid and large age-structural changes that have caused, or are likely to cause, mismatches between the needs of population subgroups and the targets of policy. The conference will include both invited and submitted papers.
Limited funding is available to help defray the costs of attendees.
The organisers invite submissions in the form of detailed abstracts or full-length papers. 15th August 2000.
