Summary:

Two or three decades ago, when birth rates were high in most of the countries and areas of the Asian and Pacific region, the major emphasis of population policies was on reducing fertility. Government family planning programmes introduced in the 1950s and 1960s combined with sustained socio-economic development resulted in reduced birth rates. The crude birth rate for the region as a whole is estimated to have declined from 40 to 36 per thousand in the period 1970-1975 and to 27 per thousand in the period 1980-1985.
