The membership factor dominates, at 75 per cent the population factor increases to 10 per cent, and the contribution factor decreases to 15 per cent.

Finally, variant 5w places the dominant membership factor at 75 per cent, the population factor at 10 per cent and the contribution factor at 15 per cent.

However, the contribution factor is allotted the most weight, 70 per cent, the population factor stands at 5 per cent, and the membership factor is reduced to 25 per cent.

The baseline for comparison and analysis is the current factor weighting 40 per cent for membership, 5 per cent for population and 55 per cent for contribution.

(c) The population factor, which would be allotted a weight of 5 per cent, would be directly related to the population of Member States, and posts subject to that factor would be distributed among Member States in proportion to their population

The differences in population among Member States are taken into account through the population factor.

Variant 3w looks at the case with the membership factor at 100 per cent and both population and contribution factors at 0 per cent.

Variant 4w considers the case with the contribution factor at 100 per cent and both membership and population factors at 0 per cent.

In this scenario the weight of the factors (membership, population and contribution) is kept constant at the current levels. Simulations were conducted using the following population base

The weight of the factors taken into account for the distribution of geographical posts remains at 55 per cent for contribution, 40 per cent for membership and 5 per cent for population.

For all four of the variants considered, the current weight of the factors (membership 40 per cent, population 5 per cent and contribution 55 per cent) remains unchanged.

Accordingly, the weighted membership factor is 93,288 points (40 per cent of 233,219), the weighted population factor is 11,611 points (5 per cent) and the weighted contribution factor is 128,270 points (55 per cent).

In the fifth variant, the contribution factor is increased to 70 per cent, the weight of the population factor remains at 5 per cent and the weight of the membership factor stands at 25 per cent.

In the fourth variant, the weight of the membership factor is raised to 75 per cent, the weight of the population factor is raised to 10 per cent and that of the contribution factor is reduced to 15 per cent.

(a) Changes to geographical distribution by varying the weight of the membership, population and contribution factors while holding the base figure constant at the current level of 2,700

Population is at the core of development, and population trends are a key element of the context in which development takes place.

Giving the contribution factor full weight (with population and membership at 0 per cent) results in raising the number of underrepresented Member States by 70 per cent, from 10 to 17.

The weight of the contribution factor varies between 55 and 86.4 per cent, the membership factor between 6.9 and 40 per cent and the population factor between 5 and 8.9 per cent.

Variant 1

For each country, this factor is equal to the total number of posts for the population factor (5 per cent of 2,700 135 posts) divided by the total population of all Member States and multiplied by the population of the relevant Member State.

The variant does not reflect the importance attached by the General Assembly to membership and population through the weights it allotted to those factors.

This variant does not reflect the importance attached by the General Assembly to membership and population through the weights it allotted to those factors.

It is recognized that poverty, illness and ignorance, as well as large families are the main causes of low population quality.

Varying the weight of the membership, population and contribution factors within the limits of the existing base figure constitutes the most common method of adjusting the geographical distribution of posts.

The weighted baseline is variant 0w, which is the transposition of the current system from non weighted to weighted (base figure 2,700, membership 40 per cent, population 5 per cent, contribution 55 per cent).

In assessing regionalization, UNFPA is focusing on four strategic factors

The former includes indirect factors such as population pressure, socioeconomic and policy factors, and globalization phenomena such as distortions to international food markets, and direct factors such as land use patterns and practices and climate related processes.

The main feature of the report is the description of a methodology based on the system of desirable ranges that would include, in addition to the three traditional factors used membership in the United Nations, population and contribution to the budget a new troop contribution factor.

The posts allotted to each Member State through the application of the contribution, membership and population factors are added together to establish the midpoint of each Member State's desirable range.

In addition to membership, population and contribution, the level of development of Member States and economic and social indicators of capacity to pay1 have been considered but not applied.

Over the past three decades, the US has been able to grow at an average annual rate of around 2.5 . Some attribute relatively slow growth to demographic factors, which have reduced the labor force, as well as to weak productivity levels, which have been low.

The situation is markedly worse among rural populations, women and the indigenous population.

20. Overpopulation, which should be emphasized here, is a fact beyond question.

(c) To increase understanding of the linkages between population factors, gender, poverty, human rights and environment.

Aiming at more successful fight against trafficking in human beings, a National Program for fight against trafficking in human beings has been adopted, which envisages measures for prevention and fight against trafficking in human beings and for identification and reduction of economic and social factors that contribute to women and children becoming victims of trafficking.

The total population by 2021 is estimated at 2.7 million, compared to an estimate of 3.6 million without AIDS.

It had also identified poverty, gender and ethnicity as the key determinants of human trafficking.

Market structure and regulatory frameworks On the demand side, level of development and income, cultural and historical factors, consumer tastes and geographic and demographic factors, as well as the overall regulatory environment, influence the structure and evolution of the distribution services market.

UNFPA took note of the suggested critical success factors reflected in the benchmarks, and observed that their achievement had been the basis for the Fund's many initiatives and continued efforts to institutionalize results based management.

Regarding the future, the population trends will depend on two major factors on one hand, the impact that the young population strata will continue to have in the next decades about 47 percent of the Mozambican population has less than 15 years.

It's personal.

It reviews the origin and purpose of the system and the changes that have taken place since 1945 and assesses the implications of modifications to the factors used in the calculation of geographical distribution, i.e. population, membership and contribution, and to the baseline number of posts. Three scenarios are presented, as follows
