Abstract
The authors restate their view that: 1) birth rates in developing countries have declined faster than demographers had expected; 2) the scope and interests of organized family planning programmes are important causal factors in fertility decline independent of the pace of social and economic development; 3) that the population projections for developing nations they have made for the Community and Family Study Center are realistic.-J.Clayton
