title: New issues, new options: a management perspective on population and family planning.
abstract: As population problems increasingly are seen in the context of socioeconomic development and as programs to reduce fertility become more diversified and multisectoral, issues facing program managers are changing. In addressing today's challenges in the areas of population policy and development planning, family planning program design, and problem-solving mechanisms, a variety of options can be considered. No blanket prescriptions can be made, but familiarity with some of the alternative and an understanding of their political and administrative implications may be helpful to managers, not only of population programs but in related development field as well.
