Overview
This is a compilation of the most important papers of Bernard Berelson, an outstanding intellectual leader in the field of family planning and population. For almost two decades, Dr. Berelson played a major role in guiding governments toward the development of population programs that, in lowering growth rates, would promote increased equity and improved welfare.

Topics explored include: - national family planning programs as a policy instrument - prospects and programs for fertility reduction in the developing world - efficient allocation of resources in population programs - the postpartum strategy in providing family planning - impact of improved contraceptive technology - ethical implications of government efforts to influence fertility - conditions of fertility decline in developing countriesBook Details
