Conclusion. 330 $aThis open access book provides an overview and analysis of the causes and consequences of the massive and highly consequential transition in reproductive behaviour that occurred in Asia, Latin America, and Africa since the mid-20th century. In the 1950s contraceptive use was rare and women typically spend most of their reproductive years bearing and rearing children. By 2020 fertility and contraceptive use in Asia and Latin America reached levels commonly observed in the developed world. Africa?s fertility is still high, but transitions have started in all countries. This monograph is the first to provide a comprehensive analysis of these trends and their determinants, covering changes in reproductive behaviour (e.g., use of contraception and abortion), preferences (e.g., desire to limit and space births) and the role of socioeconomic development (e.g., education). The role of government policies and in particular family planning programs is discussed in depth. Particular attention isgiven to provide a balanced assessment of several political and scientific controversies that have beset the field. As such this book provides an interesting read for a wide audience of undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, and public health policy makers. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Population Studies,$x2211-3223 606 $aDemography 606 $aPopulation 606 $aPopulation$xEconomic aspects 606 $aPublic health 606 $aPopulation and Demography 606 $aPopulation Economics 606 $aPublic Health 615 0$aDemography. 615 0$aPopulation. 615 0$aPopulation$xEconomic aspects. 615 0$aPublic health. 615 14$aPopulation and Demography. 615 24$aPopulation Economics. 615 24$aPublic Health. 676 $a304.6 686 $aMED078000$aPOL029000$aSOC006000$2bisacsh 700 $aBongaarts$b John$f1945-$01149827 701 $aHodgson$b Dennis$01255954 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910590082603321 996 $aFertility Transition in the Developing World$92917409 997 $aUNINA
