SOCIAL SCIENCE In many developing countries population policy remains focused on family planning and reproductive health programs, but increasingly it embraces social and economic issues affecting reproductive behavior as well as the developmental consequences of demographic change. Research on this topic documents the significance of the overall link between population and development and explores specific relationships between population growth and distribution, population aging, socioeconomic development, health, and poverty. Major objectives are to improve understanding of the societal, familial, and individual consequences of population growth, population aging, and rapid urbanization; and to assist developing-country governments in optimizing the design of their population policies.
