The Population Council launches Population and Development Review (PDR), a quarterly journal to advance knowledge of the interrelationships between population processes and socioeconomic and environmental change, and to provide a forum for discussion of related issues of public policy. PDR’s interests span both developed and developing countries, theoretical advances as well as empirical analyses, a broad range of disciplinary approaches, and concern with historical and present-day problems. Each issue typically contains four articles; a notes and commentary department presenting critical and point-of-view pieces on significant problems and policy developments; a data and perspectives department containing analysis and interpretation of new statistical data; archival items with a contemporary resonance; documents containing excerpts from official statements by political leaders and scientific bodies; and book reviews and review essays.
