Demography, HIV/AIDS and Reproductive Health: Implications for the achievement of the MDGs: Roles of the West

2 February 2005 13:00-14:15 (GMT+00) - Public event, London

  • This session examines the implications of using goals and targets as proxies for wider poverty reduction and development processes. Population issues have been largely excluded from the MDGs, with no discussion of demography or why population issues matter to the achievement of the MDGs.

    This session uses demography, HIV/AIDS and poor reproductive health as themes to allow the exploration of how specific targets may exclude other important issues which impact on well-being, productivity, investments in human capital and the achievement of the MDGs.
