Government Policies and Fertility China’s Controversial Family Planning Policy One child per family Main problems with policy: Eroded personal freedom Disproportionate number of males born

Government Policies and Fertility India’s Severe Population Pressure Early efforts centered on compulsory sterilization. (which was a complete failure) Currently attempting to integrate economic development and family planning. (total fertility rates have dropped)

Government Policies and Fertility Case-in-Point: The Global Summit on Population and Development Focused on: Reproductive rights Empowerment of women Reproductive health

Achieving Population Stabilization Discuss some of the ethical issues associated with overpopulation: Is it ethical to have more than 2 children? Is it ethical to consume to much in the way of material possessions? Is it ethical to try to influence a couple’s decision about family size?
