Abstract

Latin America and the Caribbean is undergoing deep demographic transformations, including declining total fertility and adolescent fertility rates, increasing life expectancy, noticeable population ageing, reduction of household size and restructuring of households by family type, growing international migration flows and advancing urbanization. These changes vary depending on the state of countries’ and territories’ demographic transitions and present new challenges and opportunities for public policies aiming for sustainable development, inclusion and full enjoyment of rights. This document includes an analysis of the social and economic impacts of demographic change on the region and is intended to provide input to improve countries’ public policies, in line with the Montevideo Consensus on Population and Development and with a view to ensuring the full integration of population dynamics into sustainable development with equity and respect for human rights.
