Description
Globally and in high fertility countries, policy conversations about achieving a demographic dividend (DD) largely take place among policymakers who are already committed to FP and population issues. New evidence about the benefits of demographic change for development objectives outside the health sector can enhance engagement with decision-makers in the education, economic, and security sectors.
