Abstract
Socioeconomic analysis is facilitated when policy instruments and policy objectives are distinguished, when implicit and explicit population policies are differentiated, when the intended effects of these policies are separated from their unintended effects, and when effects in the short run are contrasted with effects in the long run. While it is difficult to assess the effect of population policies upon "welfare," it usually is possible to determine the direction of the effects of such policies upon a population's number, quality, and distribution.
