Publisher(s): East-West Center
Series: Asia-Pacific population & policy ; no. 20
Topic: Population and demographics (Family planning)

The demographic transition unfolding in Bangladesh suggests that women will readily employ contraception if services are made available in a culturally appropriate manner. Substantial socio-economic development does not appear to have been a necessary pre-condition for the onset of fertility decline.
