Recent developments relating to the current high rate of world population growth suggest a deepening appreciation of the effect of high fertility on efforts to raise living standards. Hampered in economic development by rapidly increasing populations, a growing number of developing countries have adopted, or are considering the adoption of, rational policies of population control. Examples of such policies are described for countires with national population policies (India, Pakistan, Korea), with limited involvement in family planning (Malaysia, Hong Kong, Ceylon, Puerto Rico, Barbados) and with pilot projects (Taiwan, Tunisia, Turkey, United Arab Republic).
