- W2617488045 abstract "Trapped in a vicious circle of poverty and population growth Latin America and the Caribbean face a grim future unless more vigorous development and family planning efforts are instituted. Poverty and population growth reinforce each other: lack of education and services leads to unplanned pregnancies and unwanted children which only exacerbate poverty and low standards of living. Currently at 447 million the regions population is expected to increase to between 520-570 million by the year 2000--twice the population of North America. Unless population growth is dramatically reduced the figure could reach 800 million by 2025--a figure equal to the population of Europe and North America combined. Despite fertility reductions over the past few decades these advances appear to be slowing down. Massive population growth has led to a host of social economic and environmental problems: disease malnutrition premature mortality rapid urbanization abandoned children (an estimated 40 million) unemployment underemployment etc. More than a 1/3 of the population in the region lives in austere poverty unable to pay for minimal nutritional needs. And strapped by a continuing economic crisis dating back to the early 1980s governments are unable to provide for the current populations basic needs--much less for the projected increases in population. These grave conditions call for vigorous commitment to development and family planning. Contraceptive services can help reduce unwanted pregnancies which account for an estimated 30% of all births in the region. Family planning can be extremely successful in curbing population growth evident in the case of Colombia where family planning succeeded in decreasing annual population growth from 3.3% in 1965 to 1.65% in 1987." @default.
