HONDURAS:
On behalf of Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala,
Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama, Nelson Valenzuela stressed the
need for a balance between population, development and
consumption patterns. Issues that must be taken into account
include: changes in mortality, fertility and growth rates;
regional priorities; the increasing number of poor, especially in
rural areas; the need to focus more on the needs of adolescents;
the elimination of poverty; and the improved status of women.
