Publisher's Synopsis
This book is a collection of articles on the fertility control/promotion policies of eleven countries - mainland China, Thailand, Taiwan, Australia, Malaysia, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Kuwait and Iran. It consolidates the fragmentary information on the population policies of major Asian countries where effective population control programmes are in operation. The policies, strategies and experiences of fertility control in these countries provide a valuable lesson for policymakers wishing to modify or improve their own policies.
