All Republics Concerned
The authorities of GAS at the
Pan-American Union said the
program of the working group
should prove beneficial because
all Latin American republics
have been concerned by mount
ing economic and social prob
lens. A basic factor is the
enormous increase in population
and the consequent demand for
additional goods, services and
Jobs.
Latin America in 1855 had a
population of approximately
1874 million persons. Statisti-
clans and economists estimate
this figure will soar to 1895
million persons by 1875.
