ABSTRACT

The proposed family planning goal of the government of India is to r educe the birth rate from 41 to 25 per 1000 by

1975-1976 and to 22 by 1978-1979. The author describes 3 ways in which this could be done: 1) concentrating all

efforts in the first year; 2) concentrating all effort s in the last year; and 3) making efforts to reduce the birth rate linea

rly. The total population at the end of 1975-1976 would be respectively 559,000,000, 644,000,000, and 600,000,000.

The total number of births to be prevented from 1966-1967 to 1975-1976 would be 85,300,000; 10,200,000;

49,200,000. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT9T 1084-06)
