Conclusions

1999
[Sales No. E.99.II.E.15]

Negotiated and adopted during a plenary session of the Regional Population Meeting, the Conclusions presented in this document highlight future policy challenges to population developments and suggest options for policy actions. The Conclusions reflect the unprecedented demographic change in the ECE region where some of these challenges are specific to the groups of countries with market and transition economies.
