IUSSP International Population 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) and Tours (2005).
