| Abstract title: |
Population control in the new world order |
| Author: | John Clark |
| Issue: | Vol. 2, Number 3 1992 |
Population-control programmes can violate basic human rights and be a form of violence against women. The author presents her views on family planning as a form of social control arising from a neo-Malthusian world view which blames poverty and environmental degradation on population growth while obscuring the real causes: the increasing control of economic, political and environmental resources by a growing international elite. This article also appears in the Development in Practice Reader Development for Health.
