How Universal is Access to Reproductive Health?

A Review of the Evidence

This publication looks at current data, trends and differentials in universal access to reproductive health, the second target of Millennium Development Goal 5 (MDG5.b). Focusing on the  three indicators within that target (adolescent fertility, contraceptive prevalence and the unmet need for family planning), the report clearly demonstrates that intensified efforts are needed to extend reproductive health to all, and that quality data are essential to monitor progress and identify priorities for action.

Recent Change in the Sex Ratio at Birth in Viet Nam

A Review of Evidence

This report provides a comprehensive picture and analysis of the increasingly imbalanced sex ratios at birth occurring in Viet Nam. In 2000 the country's sex ratio at birth, an important demographic indicator, was at normal levels and was estimated to be fairly close to normal (105 boys to 100 girls). That ratio increased to 112.1 in 2008. The current growth of 1 point per year since 2006 means that the ratio might cross the 115 mark within three years, which would significantly affect the country’s demographic and sex structure.

Potential Contributions to the MDG Agenda from the Perspective of ICPD

A Reference Guide to Evidence for Policy Dialogue in the LAC Region

This reference guide analyses how well the Millennium Development Goals have been implemented in the Latin America and the Caribbean region. Because these goals are somewhat limited in scope, the guide suggests that the more comprehensive Programme of Action from the International Conference on Population and Development also be used to supplement what the MDGs have omitted. Specifically, the issue of sexual and reproductive health, which was left out of the original MDGs, is a critical factor in meeting them.
