Has Thailand’s fertility decline stalled?
Authors: John Knodel, Napaporn Chayovan and Carl FrisenProbably the most important demographic development to occur during the last quarter century has been the onset of fertility decline in a number of third world countries. While most Sub-Saharan African countries as well as a number in the Middle East and West Asia have yet to participate in this phenomenon, fertility in countries elsewhere in Asia and in much of Latin America has started down a path towards levels far lower than have ever prevailed in their modern histories. Given that mortality declines preceded the fall in fertility, and that most of these populations have been experiencing unprecedented rapid population growth rates at levels that would lead to extraordinary numbers of people in just decades, most observers concerned with population matters view the onset of fertility decline as a logical and welcome development.

Aging in China: Demographic alternatives
Author: Naohiro OgawaAs a consequence of their rapid fertility declines and pronounced mortality improvements in recent years, many of the developing countries in Asia have become increasingly aware of a number of serious aging problems (Ogawa, 1988a). More importantly, primarily because the demographic transition in these Asian countries has been substantially shorter than in the developed countries (Leete, 1987) the process of population aging in the former has been and will be considerably faster than that observed in the latter. China provides a salient example of fast population aging among the developing countries in Asia.

The impact of development programmes on fertility: A framework for analysis
Authors: Warren C. Robinson and John F. KantnerThere is a considerable body of research which strongly suggests that fertility is at least as much a socio-economic process as it is a purely biological one. Fertility is “caused” by a host of social, economic and psychological factors as well as by fecundity itself. From this it follows logically that any public sector programme which affects the socio-economic context will affect fertility, whether it is intended to do so or not.

Population and development
Author: United NationsOver the past decade, population issues have been increasingly recognized as a fundamental element of development planning and that, to be realistic, development activities must reflect the inextricable links between population and development.
