International Conference on Population & Development (ICPD) Monitoring + 10

Pakistan’s population programme began in 1953; the first official population policy was introduced in the mid-sixties. The programme has been characterized by the demographic objectives of reducing the population and fertility growth rates. Initially it solely addressed women and failed in reaching its objectives. Monitoring Ten Years Of ICPD Implementation, The Way Forward To 2015, Asian Country Reports presents findings from the only study in Asia, and one of the few globally, to provide much needed evidence on ICPD progress in time for the 10 year review.
