Cairo faces population squeeze as global plans rise
The Cairo conference on population and development taps fears of rapid growth with U N projections showing 8 to 12 billion by 2050. U S Undersecretary Tim Wirth argues for expanding family planning aid, noting 120 million couples in developing nations want fewer children but lack access to contraception. Egypt’s program has cut fertility from 5.3 to 3.9 while 59 million people live there, yet 20 percent of married women still lack access, requiring more vans, doctors, and outreach.
