Can One Child Make a Difference to Population Growth
The National Commission on Population Growth and the American Future reports that three children per family by 2000 would raise elementary enrollment by 50 percent and require over a million more teachers. A one child per family path could shrink the under age ten cohort to 43 percent in ten years, affecting schools and the labor force. The commission, appointed by President Nixon, notes population growth matters but attributes most blame to per capita consumption and mismanagement, not growth itself.
