This glossary contains terminology relating to population and demography; it includes names of important organizations, conferences, etc. The glossary comprises three sections : English, French and Spanish. Definitions for some of the terms are given in English in the first section. The Glossary is intended to assist the Bank's translators and interpreters, other Bank staff using French and Spanish in their work, and free-lance translator's and interpreters employed by the Bank. For this reason, the Glossary contains only population terminology and terms relating to the Bank's procedures and practices related to the Population, Health and Nutrition sectors, that frequently occur in Bank documents, and others for which the Bank has a preferred equivalent.
