Population growth and economic development in a developing context: problems and policies.
"This study addresses the issue of population growth and economic development and shows that a two way relationship exists between both concepts.  It isolates some pertinent factors responsible for high fertility rates in [developing countries] and Nigeria in particular.  On the basis of these factors the study then suggests both direct and indirect measures such as birth controls and mass education, among others, to reduce high fertility. Above all, development should be designed in such a way as to eliminate distortionary macro-economic policies that favour the richer groups in the economy."
