Human population control is the practice of artificially altering the rate of growth of a human population. Worldwide, the population control movement was active throughout the 1960s and 1970s, driving many reproductive health and family planning programs. In the 1980s, tension grew between population control advocates and women's health activists who advanced women's reproductive rights as part of a human rights-based approach. But population control continues to be increasingly featured in many environmental documentaries and films. This book studies population control policies in China, India, and Iran including total fertility rate, compulsory sterilization, population momentum, and abortion in Iran.
