The first and second Ibero-American Youth Reports, presented jointly by the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) and the Ibero-American Youth Organization (OIJ) in 2004 and 2008, respectively, paved the way for visions, analysis and policies concerning youth in the region by providing updated data and detailed policy proposals in various areas of young people’s lives, including education, employment, migration, sexuality and reproductive health, the family, drug abuse, victimization and violence, risk, time use and cultural identities and social and political partici…
With the aim of deepening understanding of development issues in the region, in 1952 ECLAC began establishing a network of national and subregional offices. The ECLAC office in Bogota was set up through an agreement with the Government of Colombia signed in November 1963.
With this step, ECLAC proposed to decentralize and add value to the implementation of economic studies on development, trade and integration and technical cooperation projects.
The ECLAC office in Bogota contributes to regular and ad hoc economic studies conducted by the Commission, disseminates its work and provides technica…

Censuses are the widest-ranging and most important primary source of statistical information. Given the periodicity of censuses (every 10 years), changes can be compared over time (evolution) and between countries, since they are carried out on similar dates almost everywhere in Latin America and the Caribbean. Their results provide basic information on housing, households and individuals; they are also the only instrument capable of providing data for small geographical areas.
CELADE-Population Division of ECLAC works intensively with ECLAC member countries in various fields, including techni…

Over the past 50 years, fertility has fallen by between 30% and 70% in Latin American and Caribbean countries, basically as a result of women’s incorporation into the labour market, gains in education, the general improvement of living conditions and the use of modern contraceptive methods. Nevertheless, the number of children per woman continues to differ widely by socioeconomic status, educational level and ethnic origin. The rise in the number of adolescent pregnancies also gives cause for concern owing to its significant impact on education and the opportunities available to young people, …
Mortality rates in Latin America have come down in the past 50 years, essentially because of improvements in the field of health. Greater control of infectious, parasitic and respiratory diseases, immunization programmes and maternal education have had a direct impact in reducing infant mortality, albeit with large differences from one country to another, and between high-income groups and those who are poorer, revealing profound inequalities. The causes of death in the region have changed, shifting to adult ages and centring on chronic and degenerative diseases, alongside violence and acciden…
Internal migration is a key component of spatial redistribution of the population, with implications for communities, households and individuals. For communities, migration has demographic, social, cultural and economic impacts. For households and individuals, migration —especially when it is part of a deliberate strategy— is a means to achieve objectives, ranging from coping with an economic crisis to improving quality of life.
Population censuses are the main source of information about migration movements, but in the past were used only for official publications, which tend to be of limited…
Sustainable development, the basis of the new international development agenda, is a deceptively simple notion that in fact reflects a complex balance struck between different perspectives on the interplay between the environment and economic and social development.
The concept of sustainable development was the brainchild of the Brundtland Commission, set up by the United Nations General Assembly in 1983. The Commission’s report, Our Common Future (1987) defined sustainable development as “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations t…
In late 1960s and early 1970s the world began to wake up to the importance of environmental issues, shaken from its slumber by new scientific findings, the increased sophistication of civil society movements in some countries and a few high-impact publications.
These included Silent Spring by Rachel Carson (1962), The Population Bomb by Paul Ehrlich (1968) and The Limits to Growth, commissioned by the Club of Rome (1972). Until the early 1970s, international efforts to address environmental issues had targeted specific environmental problems, with scant regard for the interplay between the env…
The United Nations Global Marketplace - UNGM - is the common procurement portal of the United Nations system of organizations.
It brings together UN procurement staff and the vendor community. The United Nations represents a global market of over USD 15 billion annually for all types of products and services.
The UNGM acts as a single window, through which potential suppliers may register with the UN organizations using the UNGM as their vendor database. These organizations account for over 99% of the total UN procurement spent. The UNGM therefore provides an excellent springboard to…
