A. Population, sustained economic growth and sustainable development:
Selected topics for recommendations include the
need to foster sustained economic growth in developing countries by
all appropriate means, including reduction of trade barriers, debt
relief, investment in sustainable job-creating projects and
promotion of relevant technologies. Other topics are the
formulation of long-term policies and programmes that
simultaneously address population growth, alleviate poverty and
reduce social inequality in both rural and urban settings; and
ensuring that policies and programmes are responsive to the needs
of the poor in all countries, particularly in health, education,
training and family planning.
