The 28th International Population Conference of the International Union for the Scientific Study of Population (IUSSP)
will be held in Cape Town, South Africa at the Cape Town International Conference Centre (CTICC) from 29 October to
4 November 2017.
The IUSSP International Population Conference is a major international event drawing over 2,000 scientists, policy
makers and practitioners in the global population community to meet and address issues of common concern. The Con-
ference takes place once every four years, providing a unique forum for population experts to take stock of recent research
on population trends and issues and to debate possible actions and policy responses to the challenges posed by population
phenomena.
The Conference will include invited plenary debates and panel discussions on population and sustainable development
issues as well as over 240 scientific sessions featuring the results of recent research from around the globe. Sessions will
cover a wide range of topics including international migration, sexual and reproductive health, poverty and inequality,
population and environment interactions, the consequences of population ageing and issues related to children and youth,
education, the labour force, and gender and human rights. Attention to advances in methods and data measuring popula-
tion phenomena and evaluating progress towards health and development goals such as the SDGs will be a key concern
cutting across all sessions. In addition, there will be exhibits, side meetings and training sessions. Presentations in scien-
tific sessions, oral and poster, will be selected through a peer-review submission process. All researchers and population

Valued Daughters : First Generation Career Women by Dr
Alice W Clark : SAGE, New Delhi, 2016
This book studies the transition of agency and self-identity in young
women aspiring for a career. Valued Daughters traces the spread of
ambition for lifetime careers among young women in urban India, who
are effecting many changes by stepping out of their traditional roles to
pursue higher education and jobs. It analyses intersecting transitions—
demographic, educational, economic, social, and cultural, with their
individual histories and trajectories—that form the context of this
study. Using first-hand narratives of women and their families, this
book illustrates a new and changing sense of self among these
daughters, whose mothers never had careers of their own. Focusing on
the way these young career-oriented women engage with immediate
society and the world at large, this book explores how they view
traditional roles and how they are, in turn, viewed by the society.

OBITUARY
Dr. Kottai S. Gnanasekaran (1936 -2016)
Dr.K. S. Gnanasekaran born in Tamil Nadu India passed away on January 27, 2016 in Scarsdale,
New York at the age of 80 after a few years of illness. He was staying in New York with his family
after retiring from the Statistical Division of the United Nations.
Soon after completing a Master’s degree in Economics, Gnanasekaran ( Gnana) got a Govt. of India
scholarship to pursue studies in demography at the UN sponsored Demographic Training and
Research Centre Bombay (which became International Institute for Population Sciences, a Deemed
University) in 1957. He was the youngest in the class and belonged to the Center’s first batch of
students and obtained a post - graduate Diploma in Demography in 1959. As a soft spoken person
with mild temperament, he was one of the most liked of his group during his study period. He then
enrolled for a Ph. D. program at the University of Bombay and was awarded Ph. D. in Economics in
1962. An impressive professional career followed the PhD studies with a post-doctoral research
fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania in 1964-1965 to work as Research Associate in
economics and demography.
P A G E 1 7 V O L U M E 9 , N U M B E R 1
At the completion of the fellowship program in Pennsylvania, Gnana was appointed Economist/
Statistician at the Dominion Bureau of Statistics (Statistics Canada) in 1967 and worked there mostly
in the field of population projections. From 1973-1978 he was Chief of Population Projections
Section in the Population Estimates and Projections Division with Dr. Anatole Romaniuc as
Director, which became Demography Division as a result of a reorganization. Gnana’s time with
Statistics Canada was perhaps the most productive time of his life focusing on population projections
in collaboration with Anatole Romaniuc. In addition to producing the first set of official population
projections for Canada and the Provinces using a projection model for the period 1972-2003,
considerable developmental and analytical research was carried out by the Population Projections
staff under Gnana’s guidance. The culmination of this work was the publication entitled, Technical
Report on Population Projections for Canada, and the Provinces, 1972-2001, 1975. Recalling
Dr. Gnanasekaran’s team work, his supervisor fondly remembers him for his creative mind and
human qualities, a reliable and trustful colleague and friend. Gnana thus exemplified Demography
Division’s cosmopolitan character by its origin yet highly harmonious team.
He was very dedicated to his profession and never turned down any new opportunity to make
contributions in his field. This can be seen from a contract type project which was undertaken with
his colleague Dr. M.V. George for developing population and labour force projections for Alberta, as
requested by the Human Resources Research Council (HRRC), Edmonton. The report prepared
entitled, Population and Labour Force Projections for Alberta, 1970- 1985 by M.V. George and K.S.
Gnanasekaran was published by the HRRC in1972.
While working in Statistics Canada Gnana was seconded to the United Nations to work as UN
Expert/Lecturer at the faculty of Cairo Demographic Center, Egypt, 1971-72 for teaching and
research in demography. When he returned from this UN assignment from Cairo he took interest to
work for the UN on a permanent basis. His effort in this respect became successful In1979 when he
was appointed to join the United Nations as Chief, Demographic Statistics Section of the Statistical
Division, New York. He worked mainly on migration statistics and censuses. He participated and
organized several Expert Committee Meetings and Seminars in these fields as part of his work.
Gnana continued his work with the United Nations, New York until he retired. After retiring from
the United Nations he was an Honorary Advisor for the International Longevity Center at Mount
Sinai Hospital, New York.
Dr. Gnanasekaran was a founder member of CPS, a member of IUSSP, PAA and Indian Association
for the Study of Population and IASSH. He had an impressive list of research reports and
publications and conference papers to his credit. Gnanasekaran had a brilliant career in demography
but he was always an unassuming humble and reliable person with a warm heart and was much liked
by his colleagues and friends. We will be missing him much. May his soul rest in peace!

Anatole Romaniuc, Ottawa, Canada
