| − | '''Population control''' represents any of several approaches to managing the growth rate of humans. The driver for efforts at population control is concern that levels of population sustainability are rapidly being approached. Some consider this concern to be a liberal socialist myth. Due to criticism, the myth promoters have adapted their position with a new ideological term. Population control has been changed to the wide promotion of 'reproductive health'. The mainstream media has heavily promoted the consequences surrounding "overpopulation" and "excessive" population growth. | + | '''Population control''' represents any of several approaches to managing the [[population]] growth rate of [[human]]s.
