The Global Family Planning Revolution - Three Decades of Population Policies and Programs

Klappentext This book brings together the latest thinking about poverty dynamics from diverse analytic traditions. While covering a vast body of conceptual and empirical knowledge about economic and social mobility, the ten chapters take the reader on compelling journeys of multigenerational accounts of three villages in Kanartaka, India; twelve years in the life of a street child in Burkina Faso; a shorter term comparative examination of country-wide experiences with mobility in rich nations; and much more. The authors--leading development practitioners and scholars from the fields of anthropology, economics, political science, and sociology--critically examine the literature from their disciplines and contribute new frameworks and evidence from their own works. problems differ, the organizational structures and behavior-modification campaigns needed can learn much from the pioneering efforts at reducing fertility. It appeared that the ""population bomb"" would undermine efforts at development in the Third World and that little could be done about it. This book takes the reader back to the first efforts by 23 countries to hammer out novel policy positions and field programs to deal with the threat.
