Abstract: Abstract Family-planning programmes have a place in the overall development programme of a country. One of the major obstacles to development is undoubtedly population growth. But there may be more serious obstacles, e.g. political obstacles, or those arising from the social structure. Too much attention is paid to the relative cost of different population programmes. It is desirable to make cost-benefit studies, using alternative assumptions, to assess the relative merits of family-planning programmes and the institution of changes in the political and social structure which contribute to economic growth.
