Progress 10/01/93 to 09/30/05
Outputs
Between 1993 and 2005 the Population & Development Program (PDP) utilized funds from the Hewlett Foundation to provide financial and programmatic support to an average of five graduate students per year. During this period 19 PDP students received Ph.D.s and 7 received MS or MPS degrees. Eight additional students are in the process of completing Ph.D. degrees with concentrations in Population and Development. These students have come from the United States, Hungary, Germany, the Philippines, Kazakstan, Vietnam, Nepal, India, Taiwan, China, Thailand, Japan, Egypt, Ghana, the Gambia, Nigeria, the Congo, Uganda, Colombia, Peru, Brazil, and Eritrea. Support included stipends, research support and assistance with attendance at professional meetings. The PDP also sponsored seminar series and a working paper series.
Impacts
The long-term training efforts of the Population and Development Program will improve public and private sector planning in developing areas of the world and in the United States through the training of future leaders from diverse regions of the world in the linkages between population structure and dynamics and a wide range of public programs and development processes.

Progress 01/01/03 to 12/31/03
Outputs
During the past year two Population and Development graduate students (one from India and one from China) completed graduate degrees (one Ph.D. and one M.S.) and one new student, from Ghana, entered the program. The program directly sponsored four seminars with presenters from Australia, India and the U.S. Working with Cornell's Center for the Study of Inequality and the Department of Policy Analyis and Management another three seminars, bringing together Cornell Population specialists interested in inequality, were organized. The Program also co-sponsored, with the Department of Development Sociology, six seminars focusing on the development process and with presenters from Cornell, the University of Illinois-Chicago, the University of Aberdeen (Scotland), University of Adelaide (Australia), and the Indian Census Bureau.

Progress 01/01/02 to 12/31/02
Outputs
The Population and Development Graduate Training Program (PDP) provided financial support to eight students from India, China, Gambia, China, Philippines, Japan, Nepal and the U.S. who are pursuing Ph.D.s in the Field of Development Sociology with a concentration in Population and Development. Two new students joined the program and two departed, one with a Ph.D. degree and one with a Masters. In addition to these students who received substantial core support, several others received modest support for travel to professional meetings in the U.S. and Thailand. The PDP co-sponsored a new seminar series, The Demography and Inequality Forum, with the Center for the Study of Inequality, ran an informal training seminar series, and published another volume in its Working Paper Series (in conjunction with the Bronfenbrenner Life Course Center). Note that the 2001 volume was published in 2002.
Impacts
The PDP has continued a long-term effort to train professionals to conduct population relevant research and to provide leadership in population activities. We train both domestic and international graduate students, but continue to have a core focus on training scholars from developing countries where the problems are most pressing and resources thinnest. Since the program's inception, over 100 Ph.D.s have been trained here. Over half are currently located in developing regions.

We completed the fourth year of our 4-year grant on July 31, 1993. A new three-year grant from the Hewlett Foundation for general program and foreign student support was awarded to the Population and Development Program (PDP) August 1, 1993. During the 92/93 academic year 17 students from 10 countries were enrolled in the graduate program. Five students received graduate degrees with concentrations in Population and Development. The PDP acquired four computers and three printers, purchased for student use and research. As part of the Department's Seminar Series, the PDP co-sponsored (with Rural Sociology and CIIFAD) nine speakers; and thirteen speakers participated in the PDP Brown Bag Seminar Series. The Program sponsored various student trips to the Population Association of America meetings and the Rural Sociological Society meetings. This year's Working Paper Series included 18 papers written by PDP staff and affiliates; and for the first ime, we included 10
working papers from the Life Course Institute in the College of Human Ecology.
