Nepal has witnessed many important demographic changes over the last two decades due to declining fertility and mortality rates, increasing life expectancy, increasing age at marriage and a large volume of both internal and international migration. New migration patterns within and outside the country have brought about structural changes in demography and human development. The latest population census and national Demographic and Health Surveys have unveiled different dynamics of population characteristics. These national data sources have produced valuable information for dissemination to a large audience for academic, policy and programme benefits. Against this backdrop, it was considered timely to convene a conference bringing together national and international academicians, policy makers, development practitioners and other relevant stakeholders in Nepal to provide an opportunity to share new research, evidence and good practices for policy debates around population dynamics and its inter-linkages with other development sectors.
In this context, the “First National Population Conference 2014” with the theme of “Communicating Population for Development Planning” took place in Kathmandu, Nepal from 5-7 June 2014. The Conference represented a benchmark in the field of population and development in Nepal. It brought together 250 participants representing senior population and development professionals of national and international reputation as well as young researchers/students and national and international delegates. The Conference also aimed to discuss and build a common understanding among national stakeholders on key aspects of population and sustainable development issues to
inform the agenda setting for national development priorities and targets for the post ICPD and MDG Development Frameworks.
