| description |
Countries with high levels of fertility
lag behind others in development indicators and in progress
toward the Millennium Development Goals. While several
developing countries have lowered fertility rates over the
last three decades, huge challenges remain. The family
planning needs of some 137 million married women in
developing countries are still unmet. About a third of the
approximately 205 million pregnancies each year are
unintended, and half of induced abortions performed globally
are unsafe. Some 28 countries, mainly in Sub-Saharan Africa,
have a total fertility rate greater than 5, and the decline
in fertility rates has been very slow or has stalled. In
most countries, national averages mask substantial
differences in fertility levels between the well-off and the
poor, highlighting equity concerns. The objective of this
study is not to repeat those discussions and findings but
rather to provide evidence-based, relevant, and practical
information on population and family planning issues to
stimulate policy dialogue with client countries and
influence World Bank lending in countries that still have
high fertility rates. |
