Abstract:Assistance for population activities is clearly worthwhile and desirable. But not at the expense of those other areas of development which could contribute to lowered fertility rates by themselves. It is time for the United States to review its total development assistance policy with this in mind. Sections: the Malthus-Marx debate - the development/family-planning debate - toward a balanced view - some effects of high fertility on development - the cultural dimension - the political/administrative dimension - where do we go from here? Notes.
