Expert group meeting on policy responses to population ageing and population decline
New York
Overview
The Population Division of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (Ãå±±½ûµØDESA), with financial support provided by the National Institute on Aging of the United States, organized an expert group meeting on policy responses to population ageing and population decline. The meeting took place in New York City from 16 to 18 October 2000. The meeting was organized in follow up to the publication of the report Replacement Migration: Is it a Solution to Declining and Ageing Populations? by the Population Division in March 2000. The meeting aimed to investigate the consequences of projected population decline and population ageing as well as the policy responses to cope with such demographic changes. In particular, the meeting (1) reviewed the demographic prospects of countries and regions during the next half-century, (2) identified the consequences of population decline and population ageing, and (3) examine various policy options that Governments might adopt to cope with such unprecedented demographic challenges.
