Population, Development and Rights in Latin America and the Caribbean: draft second regional report on the implementation of the Montevideo Consensus on Population and Development

Ten years on from adoption of the Montevideo Consensus on Population and Development, this draft second regional report outlines progress on application of its priority measures in Latin America and the Caribbean from 2018 to the present, considering the specific characteristics of each country and the varying levels of implementation. By collating, systemizing and analysing a wide range of national information and experiences, and thus drawing conclusions and making recommendations that can be applied to the region, this document facilitates sharing of good practices among the countries. The report examines the region’s progress and attainments with respect to implementation of the Montevideo Consensus, focusing on the major remaining challenges and issues in the population and development agenda, which contribute to Latin America and the Caribbean still being one of the most unequal regions in the world.
