To Ensure a Stable Population, Give Women Choice on Having Kids
According to the book, written by Robert Engelman, Vice President at the Worldwatch Institute, in countries that make effective personal control of reproduction possible for all, women invariably have two children or fewer on average.
Such low fertility levels ultimately lead to gradually declining populations in the absence of net immigration.
"It makes sense that those who bear children and do most of the work in raising them should have the final say in when, and when not, to do so," Environmental News Network quoted Engelman, as saying.
"By making their own decisions based on what's best for themselves and their children, women ultimately bring about a global good that governments could never deliver through regulation or control: a population in balance with nature's resources," he added.
The book explores the association between population and the environment through the lens of sexual relations and women's efforts to influence the timing of their reproduction.
Engelman's book is based on interviews with women in Africa, Asia, and Latin America over a period of more than 25 years.
Combining stories from these conversations with wide-ranging research across history and the social sciences, More investigates the roots of sexuality and procreation to discover how women's lives and status have influenced cultural evolution, history, and modern society.
