Rapid population growth in developing countries is expected to continue in many areas. Although sustained fertility decline has begun among the majority of populations in the developing world many smaller nations show little or no decline. This review of population trends illustrates the importance of socioeconomic cultural and environmental factors in explaining fertility differences both between and within countries in the major regions of the developing world. Conclusions from a review of current trends differ in several ways from what might have been found 5 years ago: 1) expectations about the future of mortality decline in most developing countries are considerably reduced; 2) family planning programs can effectively accelerate fertility decline under favorable conditions; 3) development programs outside the population field can affect desired family size and thus fertility levels.(AUTHOR ABSTRACT)
