International Conference - "Population and Development in Asia: Critical Issues for a Sustainable Future"
Date : 20 - 22 March 2006
Venue : Banthai Beach Resort & Spa, Patong Phuket, Thailand

The Asian region has experienced remarkable demographic, social, eonomic, political and environmental changes in the last decade. Progress has been made in lowering birth rates and death rates, raising education and income levels, and improving reproductive health care. Sustaining development advances in the region, however, will require continued efforts ro alleviate poverty, increase gender equity, improve health, develop more efficient and equitable strategies of resource allocation, and give priority to our stewardship of the natural environment. Because demographic factors are closely linked to these goals, developmental strategies that consider population have a better chance of success. Focusing on people - their rights, capabilities and opportunities - would have multiple benefits for individuals, society, and for their sustainable relationship with the environment.

This international conference explores the above issues through theoretical considerations and fresh case studies in the context of Asia. The aim is to highlight, understand and assess the most critical population issues for sustainable development in the new millennium.

The organisers are pleased to invite 2 Keynote Speakers: Professor Graeme Hugo (University of Adelaide) and Professor Geoffrey McNicoll (Population Council) to the conference.
