Summary: | The report offers a description of
current demographics, including density, population
structure, and the components of population change. It
explains projection procedures and provides results,
including some alternative projections. The report assesses
consequences of population growth for key sectors of society
such as education and employment and offers options for
modifying future population trends, focusing on high
fertility and the reasons behind it. A brief discussion of
the health sector highlights problems of promoting family
planning. Comparisons are made where appropriate with other
developing countries, particularly within Southeast Asia. |
