This study addresses three separate aspects of population issues, with countries as the units of observation: (a) the demography of Asian populations and the power of polcies to affect fertility and future population size; (b) the design of current interventions to lower fertility through family planning programs; and (c) population prospects and their implications in selected sectors.
