At international conferences throughout the 1990s in Rio de Janeiro, Vienna, Cairo, and Beijing a new vision of women's health, welfare, and rights was created. This vision acknowledged the deep connections between support for educational, economic, social, and political opportunity for women on the one hand, and progress in stabilizing population growth, protecting the environment, and improving human health on the other. Better lives for women means higher rates of child survival, lower fertility, lower (and declining) rates of population growth, and more efficient use of natural resources. Despite its potency, this vision has yet to be fully realized. Gender myopia blindness to the inequities between women and men still afflicts policymakers in national governments, international development agencies, and even some nongovernmental organizations. This paper reviews the state of the world's women along several dimensions, documents the links between women's welfare and population, and charts the progress (or its lack) in achieving the gender equity that must underlie any viable effort to achieve sustainability.
