About the conference

The beginning of the 21^st century is facing developed countries with a variety of demographic challenges. Europe is facing that challenges as well. One of the most actual demographic topics nowadays is family code, which declares governing marriage and relationships between wedded pair, outside the legal community and the relationship between children and parents or adoptive parents. The outcomes of the demographic decisions may influence lives of many people.

How to cope with this and similar challenges, what are the current and future trends, new ideas? These are the questions that will be discussed on the "Facing Demographic Challenges" conference.

Our conference is a part of the 17^th IS 2014 multiconference. It will provide a forum for scientists, academics, and professionals presenting their latest research findings in the various fields of Information Society.

You are kindly invited to use the "Information Society-IS 2014" multiconference and the "Facing Demographic Challenges" conference in ways that best serve your interests.
