The meeting was organized in preparation for the forty-fifth session of the Commission on Population and Development, scheduled to take place in April 2012, which would focus on “Adolescents and youth”.

The meeting brought together experts from different disciplines and regions to present and discuss research on two broad themes, namely (a) the demographic dynamics that shape the number and characteristics of adolescents and youth, and (b) the ways in which adolescents and young people can be agents of socio-economic development. Selected papers prepared by the experts participating in the meeting are available as part of the Expert Paper Series published by the Population Division.
