PREFACE
It
is with deep pride and pleasure that the Association is
distributing the Proceedings from its Fourth Annual Research
Conference at the Agricultural University of Faisalabad on
9-11 December 2003. The Association organized the
Conference in collaboration with the Department of Rural
Sociology with financial assistance from UNFPA and the Packard
Foundation. The theme of the conference selected by the
Executive Council was “Population Research and Policy
Development in Pakistan”. This was in order to focus on
the need to make policies more informed and responsive to
research in Pakistan and to enhance communication between
policy makers and researchers.
A Call for Abstracts was issued in mid-2003
and more than one hundred individuals responded to this call.
A Committee mainly comprising members of the Executive Council
of PAP selected 56 papers after careful scrutiny of the
abstracts for relevance to the conference sessions and the
potential merit of the research itself. All the remaining
abstract authors were offered the opportunity to present their
findings in the form of posters during the conference. The
objective was to ensure wider participation at the
Conference.
About 250 delegates participated in the
conference. In addition, 200 students mainly from Faisalabad
University also attended the three-day conference. Some
notable foreign delegates from India, Australia, UK and
USA, enriched the conference through their unique
international perspectives. The Conference was well
represented by delegates from the government, NGOs, media and
academia within Pakistan.
This volume mainly comprises the papers
presented in the nine scientific sessions of the Conference.
Three panel discussions were also held on the topics Does
Population Research have any Role in Formulation of Policy?
Has Population Lost its Relevance for Donors? And
Challenges in Teaching Population Sciences? Panelists of
diverse backgrounds were selected to introduce different
perspectives to the themes regarded as neglected but of
integral importance to the population community. , The format
of the panel discussion enabled interactive discourse on major
themes of concern.
A special effort was made this year to improve
the quality of the proceedings of the conference and to reduce
the time required to bring out this volume. We were successful
in this endeavour largely due to the efforts of the Technical
editor and the prompt responses of the authors to his
comments. We will try to do even better next year!
I would like to take this opportunity to
congratulate PAP, the Executive Council and the growing
membership of the association for its achievements in
promoting the discipline of population. It is indeed a
heartening testimony of our collective success to hold four
consecutive conferences with continuing interest from all
quarters. I hope very much that the Annual Conference will
become an event of ever increasing value to researchers and
policy makers and other colleagues working in the field of
population. It is also a good time to commemorate our
achievements in reducing the rate of population growth, but it
is equally important to remember that there is still a long
way to go until Pakistan reaches its aims of population
stabilization.
Thus the mission and mandate of the PAP must go
forward for many more years! I do think our collective hard
work will pay dividends.
