The present rate of population growth in Africa South of the Sahara, at 3.1%, is the world's highest. Gorgen's paper (pp.477-492) discusses the role of family planning in rural families in this area and the socio-cultural problems in introducing an effective modern family planning programme. K. Wilkens (pp.493-506), examines the ethical problems involved in any family planning programme and, finally, U. Heinbuch and P. von Blanckenburg explore the influence of rural development programmes on the reproductive behaviour of rural societies in developing countries.
