Impacts of Demographic Change in Latin America and the Caribbean: Public Policy Challenges and Options Latin America and the Caribbean is undergoing deep demographic transformations, including declining total fertility and adolescent fertility rates, increasing life expectancy, noticeable population ageing, reduction of household size and restructuring of households by family type, growing international migration flows and advancing urbanization. These changes vary depending on the state of countries’ and territories’ demographic transitions and present new challenges and opportunities for public policies aiming for sustainable development, inclusion and full enjoyment of rights. This document includes an analysis of the social and economic impacts of demographic change on the region and is intended to provide input to improve countries’ public policies, in line with the Montevideo Consensus on Population and Development and with a view to ensuring the full integration of population dynamics into sustainable development with equity and respect for human rights.

Persons with Disabilities: From Statistical Visibility to the Exercise of Rights In the past four decades, the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities has fundamentally changed the way disability is understood. Traditional conceptions focused on individual deficiency have been replaced by a social and rights-based approach that holds the State and society responsible for eliminating the structural barriers —physical, social and cultural— that limit the participation of persons with disabilities in community life. A central aspect of this process is the availability of robust and comparable statistical information, which increases the visibility of persons with disability. Generating data to that end is not only a technical challenge but also a political imperative, as statistical visibility is indispensable to the promotion of the fundamental rights of this population group. Latin America and the Caribbean has made progress in the inclusion of disability in the public agenda, but marked inequalities persist between persons with disabilities and persons without disabilities. It is therefore critical to approach disability from the perspective of rights and inclusion to ensure that persons with disabilities have their voices heard and can fully exercise their rights, in pursuit of more just and inclusive societies.
