Summary
In this volume, scholars, policy-makers and women's health advocates suggest a new consensus on population policy directions for the 21st century, centred on health, women's empowerment, and human rights. They argue that public policy should assure the rights and well-being of people, rather than simply attempting to limit the ultimate size of the world's population.
