Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper reviews the determinants of fertility and attempts to extract conclusions that are relevant for fertility reduction policies in developing countries. In the first tier of fertility determinants, socioeconomic development has a decisive effect in lowering fertility in the long run. In the short run, however, and for specific households, the effects are much more tangled. Higher income, for instance, allows households to afford more children, but nevertheless often reduces fertility because of its links to other factors like education. Education, especially for women, fairly reliably reduces fertility, though its effect may take years to appear. Improved health and lower mortality also contribute to lower fertility, through both biological and behavioral channels. The effect of female employment, in contrast, is uncertain and undependable. Urban residence has a pervasive effect in reducing fertility, though much of this is attributable to education and better health. Particular improvements in welfare can therefore be expected to lead to lower fertility, but the effects are neither uniform nor immediate. Development is essential for fertility transition to run its full course.

Download or read book All Our People written by Klaus M. Leisinger and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The application of human values to development determines success. Social modernization is based on collectivity, security, and cooperation and has political, socioeconomic, and emotional dimensions. The desirable outcome is economic, social, political, and ecological change that reduces poverty, injustice, inequality, and human suffering and a sustainable increase in the quality of life. This volume provides a summary of population growth statistics and regional distribution of population, a discussion of religious, sociocultural, and socioeconomic determinants of high fertility, an analysis of the effects of rapid population growth, a summary of demographic transition theory and a model for developing countries, and requirements for an ethically acceptable population policy. The rate of growth of 95 million people per year is unacceptable. Total population exceeds 5.6 billion. 9 out of 10 children are born in poor countries. Human development is jeopardized by rapid growth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is long-standing debate on how population growth affects national economies. A new report from Population Matters examines the history of this debate and synthesizes current research on the topic. The authors, led by Harvard economist David Bloom, conclude that population age structure, more than size or growth per se, affects economic development, and that reducing high fertility can create opportunities for economic growth if the right kinds of educational, health, and labor-market policies are in place. The report also examines specific regions of the world and how their differing policy environments have affected the relationship between population change and economic development.
