ABSTRACT

Presented in this brief article are excerpts of a speech given by the Chinese State President and Party Secretary-

General Jiang Zemin at the National Forum on Family Planning and Environmental Protection on March 8, 1997. He

states that family planning and environmental policies require long-term considerations. Both family planning and

environmental matters are correlated and relate to socioeconomic development in China. Population growth will

have negative impacts on the environment, and environmental mismanagement will adversely affect people's health

and living conditions. The importance of environmental and family planning policies must be known to every

household, and these policies must be effectively implemented as part of socioeconomic development programs.

Although China's family planning policy has been successful in reducing China's population size and growth, the

task ahead of guaranteeing a population under 1.3 billion by 2000 is enormous. The challenge will be to implement

effective programs in rural and poverty-stricken areas. Family planning should be combined with poverty alleviation

and income development. Policies should give priority to poor family planning acceptors. China has made

"significant progress in environmental protection," but the public is creating "a higher demand on the quality of the

environment." By the year 2000, the trends in environmental pollution and ecological destruction must be controlled

and the quality of the environment improved. By 2010, there should be evidence of environmental improvements in

urban areas, in degraded situations, and in rural areas. Environmental protection will require the cooperation

between all departments, the Communist Party, and the Chinese people. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT2T
