ABSTRACT
A neglect of effective birth control policy is a never failing source of poverty, which is in turn the parent of revolution and crime. Birth control was only one of the many health services they received. The ultimate effect of family planning is a demographic change, a decrease in birth and death rates. Economists have been intrigued by complex cost-benefit analysis, which demonstrates how much money has been saved for each birth averted. The central theme that emerged from the population debates was that a government-subsidized birth control program for the poor could be equated with a national population policy. Few women attend birth control clinics with the motivation of allaying through personal action the growth of world populations. Beasley spoke dramatically of the national and international tragedies that were less the case of baby booms and too many people than the high birth and death rates in lower socioeconomic groups.
