新华网摩洛哥马拉喀什１０月２日电（记者林峰）第２６届世界人口大会２日晚在摩洛哥古城马拉喀什落下帷幕。与会专家和学者呼吁各国根据国情确立正确的人口政策，应对本世纪人口问题带来的挑战。

与会者普遍关注全球人口增长的不平衡现象。欠发达地区人口高增长将导致粮食供应、教育、公共医疗及生态等多方面的负担，对人类的可持续发展带来严重挑战。而一些国家生育率下降将使这些国家面临劳动力短缺、老龄化现象严重等人口危机，对其经济发展和国家安全带来新的挑战。

他们呼吁，各国政府应该将解决人口问题纳入国民经济和社会发展的总体规划中，正确协调人口问题与社会和经济发展、资源利用和环境保护的相互关系。根据不同的国情，确立正确的人口政策。

本届大会上新当选的国际人口科学研究联盟主席彼得·麦克唐纳在闭幕式上发表讲话说，本届大会涉及人口增长不平衡、人口与环境、消除贫困、妇女儿童、文化与宗教以及防治艾滋病等诸多人口问题。他说，大会开展的学术交流成果将推动这些问题的研究和解决。

在会议期间，来自１１４个国家和地区的２０００多位人口问题及人口统计学专家和学者，就有关世界人口前途的２００多个议题进行了广泛的学术交流和研讨。会议期间还就人口与发展问题举办了专题讲座和展览。

    本届世界人口大会由国际人口科学研究联盟和摩洛哥政府联合倡议举办。这是首次在非洲和阿拉伯国家举行世界人口大会。大会每４年举行一届。第２７届世界人口大会将于２０１３年在韩国釜山举行。
