The Global Monitoring Report 2015/2016: Development Goals in an Era of Demographic Change details the progress toward the global development goals and examines the impact of demographic change on achieving these goals. Part I examines global development progress, the unfinished development agenda, and the policy opportunities ahead. The report assesses progress toward ending extreme poverty by 2030 and in promoting shared prosperity, and it outlines the measures necessary to scale up impact over the horizon of the Sustainable Development Goals. The report unveils the new poverty line of USD 1.90 a day and provides updated estimates for the number of people living in extreme poverty, which shows further declines. In 2015 the global poverty rate is forecast to decline to 9.6 percent of the world's population, the first time it has reached single digits. At the same time, the report makes the case that the depth of remaining poverty, the unevenness in shared prosperity, and the persistent disparities in non-income dimensions of development call for urgent action. Part II analyzes how profound demographic shifts could alter the course of global development. Global demography is at a turning point: The world's population is growing more slowly, while it is aging at an unprecedented rate. Within these broader global trends considerable diversity can be found across regions and countries. While the higher-income countries that drive global growth are rapidly aging, the lower-income countries comprising the centers of global poverty are much earlier in their demographic transition and continue to grapple with high fertility rates and rapid population growth. Demographic changes bring both opportunity and risk; the report argues for demography-informed policy approaches to tilt demographic change in favor of achieving the development goals. With the right policies, demographic change can become one of the most consequential development opportunities of our time. The Global Monitoring Report 2015/2016 is written jointly by the World Bank Group and the International Monetary Fund, with substantive inputs from the African Development Bank, the Asian Development Bank, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the Inter-American Development Bank, and the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development.

This publication presents the proceedings from the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) conference on demographic change, focusing on how generations and gender influence these shifts. The conference, held in Geneva, brought together policymakers and researchers to address key demographic trends such as population aging, low fertility rates, and shifting family patterns. The book includes keynote papers and discussions aimed at informing sustainable policy responses. It emphasizes the importance of understanding demographic trends to promote intergenerational solidarity, gender equality, and balance between work and family life. The intended audience includes policymakers, researchers, and those interested in population issues.

World Population Ageing 2023, published by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, explores the demographic transition and its implications for least developed countries (LDCs). The report examines how these nations, currently in early to mid-stages of demographic change characterized by declining fertility and increasing longevity, face challenges and opportunities as their populations age. It highlights the potential economic benefits, or 'demographic dividend,' that can be harnessed through strategic policies and investments before significant ageing occurs. The report includes comparative studies from regions such as Asia-Pacific and Africa, focusing on countries like Angola, Bangladesh, and Rwanda. It aims to provide policy guidance to maximize economic and developmental gains from demographic trends. The intended audience includes policymakers, researchers, and development professionals interested in population studies and developmental strategies.

The theme of socio-spatial differentiation has belonged to the core issues of social geography and urban studies for a long time. The general aim of the book is to describe and explain the current socio-spatial differentiation of Prague and the Central Bohemian Region and the processes that have influenced it during the first two decades of the twenty-first century. The book offers its own theoretical perspective on the structuration of spatial patterns and the social environment, a general view of regional development, and the main socio-spatial processes of the period after transition. Maps are an important part of this volume and concentrate crucial information within most chapters. Apart from the static information described in the maps, the book offers a look at current population "processes", as hinted at by the subtitle of the publication. The presentation and evaluation of "processes" require more dynamic forms of cartographic visualisation and new methods of investigation. Among them, new tools of segregation measurement, various approaches for the use of mobile phone data, and an innovative form of population forecast are presented in the book. The common thread connecting all chapters is a regional focus on Prague and the Central Bohemian Region and a quantitative approach to comparing spatial patterns and regional processes.
