dc.description.abstract | Given the present level aid pattern of distribution of income and the occupational strjcture of the economy, there may not be sufficient economic motivation for families below a certain consumption level to limit their size to the extent necessary for bringing about the desired reduction in the overall fertility levels. A congruence of economic motivation at the national level and at the family level is, therefore, necessary. How does the need (or bringing about such a congruence affect national policty? First, it is not sufficient for the economy to grow at a faster rate. Rather, a significant impact on fertility can be made only if a more equitable distribution of income is achieved. Second, a shift towards an appropriate technology is needed. As the level of income increases, a shift to less labour-intensive technology will be necessary so that families find a sufficient economic rationale to limit their size. A population policy for achieving the long-term objectives, therefore, should also be directed towards redistribution of income and proper technological choices. | |
