Synopsis

By looking at the birth of a child as a political event, this book aims to provide a better understanding of the nature of social relationships and the determining factors of social change. Reflecting a cross-cultural approach to the politics of reproduction, the authors address such issues as the implications of choosing to have large or small families, approaches to reducing high birth rates in less developed countries, the incidence of teenage pregnancy rates in developed countries, the failure of family planning programmes and the debate over abortion.
