The themes of the conference include Families and Households, Population Ageing, Fertility, Contraception and Reproductive Health. Agrigento, Sicily, Italy. This International Conference will be held to respond to growing international interest on issues of children and adolescents. The social effects and the evolving social policies related to new levels of economic and political globalisation, as well as the rapid rise of new biotechnologies, are generating novel queries that beg for a careful multidisciplinary reanalysis of what we know about children and adolescents and of our current definitions, understandings and approaches of the issues. Scholars, experts, knowledgeable members of government and non-government organisations and interested young people are invited to participate.
Proposals can be local, national, country or inter-regional.
