Far from being merely questions of numbers, population issues are relative concepts, which have to be examined in the light of a country s resources, stage of economic development technology and socio cultural considerations etc. There are critical linkages between population and sustainable development, as brought out so clearly in the programme of Action adopted at 1994 International Conference on Population and Development. Development strategies Cannot overlook the importance of population factors if they aim to contribute to sustainable Development, improved quality of life and poverty eradication. Recently several new population issues have come to the front in the developing countries which need to be considered for any development strategies. One can expect population ageing, including the feminization of the older segments of population and international migration, rural urban migration, and the large number of older persons left behind in rural areas will increasingly be at the forefront, raising a number of unprecedent issues. 46.
