Population growth in developing regions - especially Africa, India, and other parts of Asia - needs to slow. Public policies can play an important role by extending access to family planning services to the poor, expanding social security systems, reducing child mortality through public health investments, and improving education and job opportunities for women.
人口增长速度在发展中国家--特别是在非洲、印度以及亚洲的其他地区--必须降低。公共政策可以在向穷人提供家庭计划服务、发展社会安全体系、通过公共健康投资降低儿童死亡率、以及提高妇女教育和工作机会等方面起到重要作用。
