A World Population Conference is to be held here August 31 to September 3. It is being organized by an International Council specially created for the purpose, and will discuss the most important aspects of the population problem. Scientific authorities on biology, sociology and statistics from the most diverse countries will present papers on the subjects on which they have specialized.
The last session of the Conference is to be devoted to a consideration of the points which have been brought out during the discussion, with special reference to research needs and possibilities. The place of the Conference has been fixed at Geneva for the reason that population is essentially an international problem.
The preliminary programme includes papers on the following subjects: Biology of Population Growth; Optimum Population; Population and Food Supply; Differential Birth Rate; Migration and Its Control; and Fertility and Sterility in relation to Population.
