Population Policy and Development Planning

Population policy refers to strategies and actions taken by governments to manage population growth and influence demographic trends. It focuses on aspects like fertility rates, migration, and aging populations. Development planning, on the other hand, integrates these population dynamics into broader strategies aimed at economic development, improving social services, and enhancing quality of life. Together, they ensure that population changes align with sustainable development goals, addressing issues such as resource allocation, healthcare, education, and infrastructure, ensuring that a growing or changing population can thrive without compromising the needs of future generations.
