Conclusion.This open access book provides an overview and analysis of the causes and consequences of the massive and highly consequential transition in reproductive behaviour that occurred in Asia, Latin America, and Africa since the mid-20th century. In the 1950s contraceptive use was rare and women typically spend most of their reproductive years bearing and rearing children. By 2020 fertility and contraceptive use in Asia and Latin America reached levels commonly observed in the developed world. Africa’s fertility is still high, but transitions have started in all countries. This monograph is the first to provide a comprehensive analysis of these trends and their determinants, covering changes in reproductive behaviour (e.g., use of contraception and abortion), preferences (e.g., desire to limit and space births) and the role of socioeconomic development (e.g., education). The role of government policies and in particular family planning programs is discussed in depth. Particular attention isgiven to provide a balanced assessment of several political and scientific controversies that have beset the field. As such this book provides an interesting read for a wide audience of undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, and public health policy makers.SpringerBriefs in Population Studies,2211-3223DemographyPopulationPopulationEconomic aspectsPublic healthPopulation and DemographyPopulation EconomicsPublic HealthDemography.Population.PopulationEconomic aspects.Public health.Population and Demography.Population Economics.Public Health.304.6MED078000POL029000SOC006000bisacshBongaarts John1945-1149827Hodgson Dennis1255954MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910590082603321Fertility Transition in the Developing World2917409UNINA
