Population dynamics has an impact on every aspect of not only human but also social and economic development. Some countries of the developed world are now experiencing a marked decrease in population growth, and some are even showing signs of a reduction in numbers due to aging populations. However, in vast majority of developing nations, the opposite applies and will continue to do so both in urban as well as rural areas.
Reproductive health and gender issues are both critical factors in population trends. Healthy and educated women are empowered, both for the shorter term and longer term resulting in better decision-making on the welfare of the family and the community as well as better balanced demographic and improved social and economic conditions.
Through both their reproductive and productive roles, empowered women, play a fundamental role in the well-being of families and communities and can help them thrive. Coupled with their empowerment, the education and empowerment of the younger generation can have strong intergenerational effects.
Demographic trends, which are impacted by individual reproductive decisions, also alter the social, economic and cultural landscapes in which these decisions are made. Understanding these trends and their implications for policies requires careful data collection and analysis.
On the occasion of World Population Day which is being observed world over on July 11, 2010 with the theme “Everyone Counts” and to promote the larger cause of women education and join the national efforts to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDG), Way to Transform Shridhar University Pilani Rajasthan has announced a special scholarship to cover 20% of the admission fees for all programs for girl students taking admission to the university.
