Beskrivning

First Published in 2011. This book grew out of a project initiated by Resources for the Future to search for selective interventions into the development process that in turn might speed the course of fertility decline in developing countries. The result is a volume the authors hope will find wide use, not only by researchers and serious students of population problems, but also by administrators and policy makers.
