Review

"This is a good, solid explanatory work on family planning programs. The first three chapters are especially useful for general background information on the justification and problems of governmental family limitation programs. The case studies, including Taiwan, South Korea, Costa Rica, and Mauritius, explain the socioeconomic conditions that prompt such efforts. Using statistical data, Hernandez analyzes the effectiveness of the various programs. The concluding two chapters look at Third World socioeconomic situations and past programs in family planning, and offer readers a good background in population studies. Public and academic libraries, community college level and up."-Choice
