IGF::OT::IGF:FALL AND SPRING MEETINGS OF THE COMMITTEE ON POPULATION (CPOP)

“人口委员会（人口委员会）的作用是通过对与人口有关的重大问题进行科学评价，帮助统计科学和社会科学结合起来，并提供一个讨论和分析与人口有关的重要问题的论坛。它处理关于人口规模和分布变化的决定因素和后果的问题，这对发达国家和发展中国家的研究人员都很重要。它不仅通过单独供资的研究和讲习班，而且还通过由一个机构联合体供资的持续核心业务来执行这一任务。

"The Committee on Population (CPOP) serves to help integrate the statistical and social sciences by scientific assessments of major population-related issues and provides a forum for the discussion and analysis of important issues related to population. It deals with questions about the determinants and consequences of changes in population size and distribution that are important to researchers in both developed and developing nations. It carries out this mission not only through separately funded studies and workshops, but also through its continuing core operations, which are funded by a consortium of agencies. As core activities, the CPOP selects areas for study, develops committees or workshops, selects participants, reviews study activities and reports, and widely disseminates study results. In accomplishing these tasks, CPOP conducts a variety of functions. It provides oversight of all studies by selecting panel and workshop steering committee participants, monitoring study activities, and reviewing study reports. It also widely disseminates study results, organizes public seminars, and convenes small planning meetings on topics of interest to particular sponsors. CPOP committee members meet twice a year. In between meetings, it conducts its work through subcommittee actions via e-mail and conference calls."
