Abstract :
One determinant of peace is the role of women in society. Some studies suggest that a young age structure, also known as a “youth bulge” can facilitate conflict. Population growth and age structure are factors amenable to change in a human rights context. We propose that policies which favor voluntary family planning and the education of women can ameliorate the global burden of disease associated with conflict and terrorism.
