Too Many People: A Threat to World Stability.
Abstract
The generally accepted concept is that present rates of population growth throughout the world constitute a major deterrent to the achievement of a reasonable standard of living for all people. The problem is to determine the most practical method to attempt to stop or reverse this accelerating growth rate. The overall problem of sheet numbers, along with the major implications of unchecked growth, is discussed, followed by a description of the major methods of fertility control presently available for use. The population control programs of Japan, The People's Republic of China, and India are presented in detail. A brief summary of the position of the Roman Catholic Church is given, because of the impact of the Church upon the moral considerations inherent in any program of family planning.
