Abstract
A number of equations for the various population control policies are
worked out for a desired reduction in the rate of growth. At the ages of 25 and 30
respectively, 61 and 97% of contraceptive users are necessary to reduce the present
rate of growth of 0·026 to 0·010. While at the age of 25 about 69 and 76% contraceptive
users are required for the same reduction in the rate of growth, assuming
that 25 and 50% would discontinue the use of contraceptives at the age of 35. The
birth and death rates in the study area (Varanasi Rural) have remained almost
constant for several years, justifying the assumption of a stable population. This
study emphasises the need for the use of contraceptive devices at two or more age
levels.
