"Since [[John D. Rockefeller3rd]] 3rd founded the Population Council in 1952, the world's socioeconomic and demographic landscape has undergone profound and unprecedented changes, and the Council's research agenda has evolved accordingly. HIV/AIDS, [[urbanization]], adolescents, and aging are just some of the topics that have been added to the Council's longstanding work in biomedical research, contraceptive development, and improving access to high-quality reproductive health services."[http://www.popcouncil.org/pc50/index.html]
