Challenging A Hidden Agenda
Reproductive Health or Population Control?
A NEW LANGUAGE
Hardly anyone these days advocates population control. Terms like 'population
problem' and 'population programmes' are unfashionable. Even ardent neo-Malthusians
have adopted the vocabulary of 'reproductive health', 'maternal health'
and 'gender equity'. Conferences like Cairo 1994 and the Hague 1999, which
focus on fertility control, distance themselves from the language of demography.
