The IUSSP Panel on Couples' Reproductive Health and Fertility organized a lively debate on 8 June: "In a gender equitable world, with equity of sexual and reproductive rights for men and women, we would expect that there would be about the same number or more vasectomies as tubal sterilizations among couples wanting to stop childbearing.

In memoriam

•    James W. Vaupel (1945-2022)
Jim Vaupel was a leading figure in demographic research on mortality and longevity. He was an innovator, charismatic leader and a man of conviction as well as a captivating teacher and passionate researcher always full of new ideas he was eager to share. He conveyed his love of demography to generations of students and young researchers from all disciplines, with a particular fondness for formal demography, which he called the champagne of demography.

•    Ian Pool (1936-2022)
We were saddened to learn of the death of Ian Pool. He was an active IUSSP member who joined in 1965 and served on the IUSSP Committee on Age Structure and Public Policy (1999-2003), serving as co-editor of Population, Resources and Development.
