📢 Calling research institutions in LAC: submit proposals on demographic transition and development to the IDB Research Network. Deadline: Nov 3. Info & submission: research-proposals.iadb.org/… #DemographyLAC #IDBResearch

Today, I am giving a keynote address at the 3rd Inter-American Development Bank Research Conference: Demographic Transition and Development in Latin America and the Caribbean, on “A Recent Population History of Latin America and the Caribbean.”
The slides are here:
sas.upenn.edu/~jesusfv/Slide…
This includes much of the material I have discussed here on X over the last year. But the punchline: the total fertility rate of Latin America and the Caribbean is now 1.5, and no country except Haiti, Guyana, French Guiana, and Saint Martin is above the replacement rate. On top of that, Latin America and the Caribbean is a region of outmigration, which compounds the challenges. Much of the future of the region will be downstream from this fact.
Comments are always most useful!
