Paid heed doesnt really mean no work was done just means no proper attention Coz had anyone paid heed, there would have been some national plan running by now, no?

As I said before, there have been many national plans in the preceding decades.

Hmmm...prob need to see where the plans led to? Budget for the plans never prob made it to implement them!

Many were funded by international agencies, and even had limited success for a time. But, the Pakistanis remain very - what's the right word? - active.

limited success for a time.

Success can only come by educating them and getting the public to understand the disadvantages of large population/ family

Of course. But, as past experience shows, this is easier said than done.

The role of religious beliefs is undeniable here, in my view, not that I am discussing anything religious in violation of PDF rules.

The fertility rate is falling but we need to discourage abortion as a viable means of population control some folks ae seriously using that instead of protection

My yearly Encyclopedia Britannica World Books tell an interesting story of Pakistan's efforts at population control. In the late 1960s it was accepted by Pakistan's government that family planning was important and did not violate religious principles. By the mid-1970s, however, this position was reversed, in part due to the influence of Arab oil money upon Pakistan's schools and mosques but also, I think, due to the shock of the 1971 war: a smaller subject population meant less power for Pakistan's leadership and Bhutto wanted to reverse that.

That's right.. but since I work in healthcare, I know about this very well.. It is under the last phase of human trials..

It had to be released in 2017, but indonesia couldn't handle the pressure of big pharma..
