Poverty and inequality

High levels of fertility, rapid population growth and widespread poverty often go hand in hand, trapping countries, communities and individuals in a vicious cycle. In such cases, accelerating the transition from high to low levels of fertility, together with appropriate social and economic policies, can lead to sustained economic growth and poverty reduction. Universal and equitable access to quality education and to sexual and reproductive health care, including for family planning, information and education, can help individuals and societies to escape from intergenerational cycles of poverty.
