Assessing approaches
to demand-side family planning
measurement with a reproductive justice and rights framework
Alongside the growing availability of family planning
(FP) services and increasing use of contraceptive methods globally,
there is increasing attention to supporting equitable access to
FP services and to meeting individual’s reproductive needs and goals.
Yet the most common measures the FP field and researchers rely on–
such as contraceptive prevalence, unmet need and demand satisfied–
do not capture important aspects of equity or of individuals’ needs,
goals, preferences, and behaviors. While there has been a long history
of critique of these measures; recognition of the imperative to
improve FP measures and measurement has become more widespread,
particularly in response to well-founded concerns that reproductive
autonomy is threatened by an intense focus on contraceptive uptake
and the call of the reproductive rights and reproductive justice
movements to reframe goals and programmatic intentions to prioritize
and reflect individual’s values and preferences.
In this context, there is a need for researchers, program implementers,
policymakers, advocates, and other civil society members to come
together and examine measures and measurement approaches that can
be used to assess family planning progress, opportunities, and gaps
in a way that is reflective of individuals’ self-identified needs
and goals and supportive of the global goal of universal access
to sexual and reproductive health.
This expert group meeting will bring together a multi-disciplinary
community of researchers, advocates, and thinkers from different
regions and countries to navigate a path forward for future measurement
of population-based family planning demand-side indicators [i.e.,
measures of needs, goals, preferences, and behaviors related to
fertility and family planning]. This expert group meeting will include
presentations on novel measures already developed, thought pieces
on considerations for future measurement, and group discussions
of ways forward for family planning measurement.
Deadline for submission/registration: 22 October 2023

Sustainable
Population and Development in A New Era
The Population Association of Singapore (PAS) and Centre
for Family and Population Research (CFPR) warmly invite all who
are involved with population studies to the Population Association
of Singapore Annual Meeting 2024, which takes place on 16-17 May
2024 (Thursday & Friday).
Why Join PAS 2024?
PAS 2024 offers an opportunity to promote the scientific study of
the population, encourage exchange between researchers, stimulate
interest and promote exploration on emerging population issues in
Singapore and Asia.
Theme
PAS 2024 will focus on the theme of 'Sustainable Population and
Development in A New Era'. Held in conjunction with CFPR's 10th
anniversary, this conference frames trends in population and development
as unfolding against the backdrop of larger era-level changes in
the world today: the rise of traversal technologies such as AI and
robotics, the move towards a super-aged world, the rise and persistence
of between- and within-country inequalities, increasing migration,
and not least, the climate crisis itself.
Propitiously, the conference also marks an important
milestone for policymakers and population researchers as 2024 is
the 30th anniversary of the International Conference on Population
and Development (ICPD), first held in Cairo, Egypt in 1994. Back
then, 179 governments across the globe ratified a commitment to
a people-centric approach to population and development policies
stressing the respect for human rights and the importance of environmental
sustainability. In 2019, a UN report further called for policies
and programmes for sustainable development to be grounded in an
understanding of population dynamics, including changes in population
size or age structure and processes of migration or urbanization.
This great vision of ICPD continues to resonate into the present
with a clarion call towards urgent actions to attain sustainable
population and development for all.
Call for Submissions
PAS 2024 invites you to submit your brief and extended abstracts,
on the conference theme to be considered for inclusion in the conference
programme through the PAS2024 conference portal: https://www.sgpopulation.org/pas-2024

Please note a few important items:
- All accepted presenters will be required to pre-register for
the conference by March 1, 2024.
- Individuals can only serve as a presenting author twice at maximum,
but may submit more than two abstracts for review only if each
addresses a different research. There are no restrictions as co-authors.
- Unfortunately, PAS cannot accommodate schedule requests; if
your paper is accepted, it could be scheduled any time during
the conference.
- Accepted presenters may be called on to be discussants or chairs
for sessions.
- There will be no travel awards for PAS 2024.

Results, Conclusion and Funding Sources.
- Background and Objectives: Describe the scientific context,
objectives, and hypothesis.
- Methods: Describe precisely the research design, interventions
(if any) and specific methods used for analysis.

the potential implications on population.
- Funding Sources: Funding sources for the research presented
in the abstract should be listed.
The use of abbreviations is acceptable, but the full name should
appear at the first mention.
