Family Planning: The Quiet RevolutionThe striking upsurge in population growth rates in developing countries at the close of World War II gained force during the next decade. From the 1950's to the 1970's, scholars and advocacy groups publicized the trend and drew troubling conclusions about its economic and ecological implications. Private educational and philanthropic organizations, government, and international organizations joined in the struggle to reduce fertility. Three decades later this movement has seen changes beyond anyone's most optimistic dreams, and global demographic stabilization is expected in this century.Population policyCase studiesBirth controlDeveloping countriesCase studiesContraceptionDeveloping countriesCase studiesFertility, HumanDeveloping countriesCase studiesPopulationCase studiesElectronic books.Population policyBirth controlContraceptionFertility, HumanPopulation363.909172/4Robinson Warren C.1928-699527Ross John A.1934-957002MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910451118003321The global family planning revolution2167393UNINA
