Seminar on the use of demographic knowledge for population policy formulation in Latin America.  Lima, Peru, 14-17 January 1986.  An overview.
The author reports on a seminar on the application of demographic knowledge to population policy in Latin America.  "In the absence of reliable empirical evidence, the actual objective of the seminar became an exploration, with Brazil, Mexico, Peru and Bolivia as case studies, of questions such as:  what applications, what knowledge, what relationships, what emphases, what transmission mechanisms, what communication channels, what investment by public and private agencies are needed to respond to the demand--actual and potential--for demographic knowledge for policy purposes."  The seminar brought together not only academics, but parliamentarians, members of international agencies, and other professionals concerned with population issues.  The focus of the discussion was on ways and means of improving existing flows of information and of expanding knowledge available for policy purposes.
