title: Effect of public programs on family size, child education and health.
abstract: "A bulk of public resources in developing countries is devoted to the subvention of population control and health investments.  The effects of these programs have been evaluated in this study with household and community data from Bangladesh.  The results suggest that subsidy on family planning and secondary school would be most effective in the achievement of harmonious goals of reducing fertility and mortality and fostering investments in child education."
