Conferences

These large conferences, held at intervals of four years, are intended to include the whole field of population studies world-wide. They aim to review the development of knowledge at a given time and to point the way to new research in areas previously neglected. Further, they provide an opportunity for scientists to present their views to administrators and policy-makers who are normally strongly represented at these conferences.

The IUSSP has organised the following general conferences: Paris (1928), London (1931), Berlin (1935), Paris (1937), Washington (1947), Bern (1949), New Delhi (1951), Rome (1953), Rome (jointly with the first united Nations World Population Conference - 1954), Rio de Janeiro (1955), Stockholm (1957), Vienna (1959), New York (1961), Ottawa (1963), Belgrade (jointly with the second united Nations World Population Conference - 1965), London (1969), Liège (1973), Mexico City (1977), Manila (1981), Florence (1985), New Delhi (1989), Montréal (1993), Beijing (1997), Salvador (2001), Tours (2005) and Marrakech (2009)..

The IUSSP, in co-operation with national professional associations, organised regional conferences in Sydney (1967) for Asia and Oceania; in Bangkok for South East Asia (2002); in Mexico City (1970) and Veracruz (1992) for Latin America; in Accra (1971) and Dakar (1988) for Africa; in Jyväskylä (1987), Paris (1991) and Milan (1995) for Europe and Cairo (1996) for the Arab world.

Two thematic conferences were organised, one on Economic and Demographic Change: Issues for the 1980s held in Helsinki in 1978, and the other on Women's Position and Demographic Change in the Course of Development held in Oslo in 1988. The regional and thematic conferences focus on specific problems relating either to a region or to a particular aspect of demography.
