How Demographic Transition Reduces Countries' Vulnerability to Civil Conflict
December 1, 2003
During the last three decades of the 20th century, demographic transition - a population's shift from high to low rates of birth and death - was associated with continuous declines in the vulnerability of countries to civil conflicts (ethnic wars, antigovernment insurgencies and terrorism resulting in multiple deaths). This relationship suggests that a range of policies and programs that promote demographic transition by encouraging small, healthy and better educated families and longer lives will improve the prospects for political stability in developing countries and enhance global security in the future.

House Members Urged to "Do The Right Thing" for the World's Poorest, Vote "Yes" for UNFPA
July 12, 2003
The U.S. House of Representatives will soon have the opportunity to do the right thing and restore vital U.S. support for the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), the humanitarian assistance organization widely credited with saving thousands of women's and children's lives every year. In a controversial move last year, the White House cancelled the $34 million U.S. contribution to UNFPA, depriving UNFPA of critically needed support for its global health programs. It is imperative that funding for UNFPA be restored.
