Description:	The global community is undergoing rapid demographic and societal change. It is within this context that the 27th International Union for the Scientific Study of Population (IUSSP) International Population Conference, entitled “The Future of the World,” was held in Busan, South Korea, on August 26–31, 2013. More than 2,500 demographers and population professionals from all over the world attended and participated in this very successful conference. Later, in May 2014, the Korean National Organizing Committee for the 27th IUSSP International Population Conference met in Seoul to celebrate the success of the said conference. At the meeting, Byung Ho Choe, the president of the Korea Institute of Health and Social Affairs (KIHASA), and Han Gon Kim, the president of the Population Association of Korea (PAK), agreed to hold an international symposium building on some of the issues of the IUSSP Conference, especially those pertaining to demographic dynamics in low-fertility societies. They also discussed the possibility of publishing a book based on the presentations made at the symposium. At a later meeting convened to prepare the international symposium, President Choe and Dr. Kim made a decision that KIHASA would provide the funds for the international symposium and that Dr. Kim would be in charge of organizing it. Later, KIHASA and PAK invited Dr. Dudley L. Poston, Jr., to chair the organizing committee for the symposium and to serve as the principal editor of the proposed book. Dr. Kim and Dr. Youngtae Cho then traveled to Yokohama, Japan, on July 17–18 to meet with Dr. Poston (who was attending an international conference in Yokohama) to further discuss and begin to plan the international symposium. At the Yokohama meeting, Drs. Poston, Kim, and Cho prepared an outline for the symposium and the resulting book. Dr. Poston agreed that he would be in charge of contacting demographers to present papers at the symposium who would later write chapters for the book. Dr. Poston then prepared a book proposal and submitted it to Ms. Evelien Bakker at Springer Publishing, who then issued Dr. Poston and his colleagues a contract for a book to be entitled Low Fertility Regimes and Demographic and Societal Change.
