Abstract

It is commonplace that population growth looms large in the complex of problems associated with economic and social development. This is true in Pakistan as elsewhere and the Third Five Year Plan has faced up sguarely to this issue. This article will review the population policY contained in the Plan and its supporting documents. Our analysis is sometimes critical but never unsympathetic. The planners in Pakistan have recognized the importance of population control and the present Plan devotes considerable resources to this goal. For this they deserve only praise. However, critical analysis of the Family Planning Scheme by interested but objective observers may stiU serve a useful purpose.
