Poverty, Gender, and Youth
Dès sa fondation, le Population Council a reconnu l’importance et la valeur de former des scientifiques démographiques provenant des pays en développement. Depuis 1952, le programme de bourses d’études en sciences sociales du Council fait foi de son engagement dans ce domaine : environ 1 500 bourses ont été attribuées pour des stages de doctorat et post-doctorat en études démographiques. Les scientifiques démographiques sont toujours aussi en demande mais le domaine a considérablement changé depuis l’avènement du Population Council. Compte tenu de ces développements, la Fondation Mellon a financé, en 2000, un projet visant à évaluer les besoins futurs de …

What About Us? Bringing Infertility Into Reproductive Health Care, Okonofua Friday, Bishakha Datta
Poverty, Gender, and Youth
Infertility is a major reproductive health problem throughout much of the world. Despite the prevalence and seriousness of infertility, the population and reproductive health field has largely neglected this problem. National policies and international donor organizations have been one-sided in their focus on programs designed to prevent unwanted pregnancies. This issue of Quality/Calidad/Qualité, with clinic-based narratives and case reports from India and Nigeria, illustrates what is involved in trying to address the problem of infertility in developing countries. A possible framework for incorporating limited infertility care into a family planning or reproductive health program includes providing education and counseling, preliminary …

Poverty, Gender, and Youth
Desde su inicio, el Population Council ha reconocido la importancia y el valor que tiene la capacitación del científico en población de países en desarrollo. A partir de 1952, el programa de becas en ciencias sociales del Council ha logrado mantener sus objetivos habiéndo otorgado aproximadamente 1500 becas hacia la capacitación pre- y pos-doctoral en estudios de población. Aunque la demanda de científicos en población continúa firme, el campo ha cambiado considerablemente desde aquellos primeros años, de modo que una reevaluación del programa se tornó necesaria. La Fundación Mellon en el año 2000 otorgó fondos para un proyecto de evaluación …

Training And Support Of Developing-Country Population Scientists: A Panel Report—Summary And Recommendations, Jane Menken, Ann K. Blanc, Cynthia B. Lloyd
Poverty, Gender, and Youth
From its earliest days, the Population Council has recognized the importance and value of training population scientists from developing countries. Since 1952, the Council’s social science fellowship program has sustained a commitment to this goal; approximately 1,500 fellowships have been awarded for pre- and postdoctoral training in population studies. While the demand for population scientists remains strong, the field has changed substantially since those early years and a review of the program was needed. The Mellon Foundation funded a project in 2000 to assess future needs for training and support of population scientists from developing countries and assembled an international …
