Abstract
World Population Year, 1974, brought a greater awareness to planners and laymen alike, of the alarming and complex nature of world population affairs. In August of the same year, a World Population Conference was held in Bucharest, attended by delegates from 135 nations. Here, out of many stormy discussions, emerged consensus on two major and closely related issues. It was agreed that, despite the widely varied local manifestations of population growth in the world today, a concerted effort by all countries is urgently required to thwart the impending dangers of population growth sustained at the current rate. In addition, the need for an integrated approach to family planning was seen. The dynamic inter-relationship of factors affecting world development calls for simultaneous, well planned, and co-ordinated action in several areas, including employment, agriculture, pollution, education, and population. Public recognition, on a global scale, of these two points is a significant achievement in the history of family planning ; it reflects a willingness to rethink once popular basic strategies regarding fertility control.
