The present report provides a demographic perspective on how the world has changed over the past 20 years. The world has witnessed many profound social, economic and political changes since the International Conference on Population and Development, held in Cairo in 1994. Few factors will shape the future global development agenda as fundamentally as the size, structure and spatial distribution of the world��s population. Ongoing demographic transitions associated with changing levels and patterns of�fertility, mortality and migration continue to bring about important changes in the size, structure and spatial distribution of families, households and communities around the world, creating both opportunities and challenges for the design of policies that aim to promote the well-being of current and future generations.
