The PopPov network is a group of academic researchers and funders from around the globe

that is interested in how population dynamics (population growth, decline, aging, etc.) impact economic outcomes. We are most interested in how population policies can be used for poverty reduction at the household level and economic growth at the country/state level. The mission is to increase the interest and visibility of the research agenda within the academic and the funding community.

 

In 2005, a report by the Population and Development Working Group of the Center for Global Development outlined a research agenda to review the relationship between reproductive health, and key economic outcomes at the household, community and national levels and outlined questions for future researchers. The Working Group placed a special focus on the type of research that would be useful to economic and health sector policymaking by national governments and donor agencies working in sub-Saharan Africa. These research priorities reflected the views of experts in the fields of demography, economics, sociology, epidemiology, public policy and related disciplines. The report can be viewed in French (PDF) or English (PDF).
