Abstract

Ever since Thomas Malthus made his dire prediction in 1798 that the growth of population would outrun food production, leading to mass starvation (Malthus, 1817), intensive debate has taken place on what later came to be characterized as ‘defusing the population time bomb’ (Ehrlich, 1968). Reaching agreement on population issues was to prove to be particularly difficult, and often acrimonious, in the international conferences in Rome, Italy in 1954, Belgrade, Yugoslavia in 1965, Bucharest, Romania in 1974, and Mexico City, Mexico in 1984. When the call for another international conference on population was made at the beginning of the 1990s, to avoid the difficulties of past debates, the aim was not to consider population issues in isolation but to link them in a broader framework of developmental concerns.
