计划生育初见成效，全球投入却在减少
“出生率在大幅下降，关键是控制全球的意外生育现象。”
约翰•卡泰灵监督了俄亥俄州人口普查计划。他2月20日于华盛顿的美国科学促进协会会议上发表了讲话。
“这真是一个关于公众健康的成功案例，反响极大，但我并不认为它所取得成就的性质和根除疾病相同。因为这个事件并未结束。尤其在亚洲和非洲的某些地区仍存在非预期的生育情况。”
“我们对可以解决的意外生育的期望是什么呢？乐观地说，我们知道计划生育仍有着较高且未满足的需求。所以如果我们想满足这些需求，各种分析表明，为达到使全球人口稳定的出生率，我们还有很长的路要走。
“悲观地说，我们在计划生育上面付出的努力还不够。女性的需求在增长时，这种努力成功的可能性就会下降。”
