The Cairo consensus : demographic surveys, women's empowerment, and regime change in population policy
The Cairo Consensus explores population policy during the 1990s. Starting from the question of how the transition from "population control" to "women's empowerment" was formulated as an international consensus, Halfon maps the discourses, technical practices, and institutional practices that made this transition possible and stable.
