“The
BRICS bloc of emerging economies has adopted a five-year agenda to
jointly tackle population issues, including women's rights, aging and
migration. Ministers and high-level envoys from bloc members Brazil,
Russia, India, China and South Africa, which have a combined
population of nearly 2.9 billion, announced the decision late
Thursday in Brazil's capital Brasilia, following three days of talks.
The approval of the 2015-2020 agenda means the bloc, which has
already consolidated cooperation in political, financial and economic
fields, will now work together on social and demographic matters.”
“President
of Brazil's National Population and Development Commission Ricardo
Paes de Barros highlighted the importance of cooperation, saying
China has rich experience in migration management during its
urbanization as well as in training, health care and education.”

“Russia's
Deputy Minister of Labor and Social Protection Sergey Velmyaykin said
'aging and waves of migration' are among the problems affecting bloc
members, so it makes sense to work together towards 'mutual goals.'
His Indian counterpart, S.K. Sikdar, noted only 30 percent of India's
population currently lives in urban areas, but the figure is expected
to reach 90 percent in the next 70 years, leading India to take an
interest in others' experience in rural-to-urban migration.”
