Family Planning Stabilizes Population, But Global Investment Is Down
計(jì)劃生育初見成效，全球投入?yún)s在減少

“There has been tremendous declines in fertility.The key has been the prevention of unwanted births, really around the globe.”
“出生率在大幅下降，關(guān)鍵是控制全球的意外生育現(xiàn)象?！?/div>

約翰·卡泰靈監(jiān)督了俄亥俄州人口普查計(jì)劃。他2月20日于華盛頓的美國(guó)科學(xué)促進(jìn)協(xié)會(huì)會(huì)議上發(fā)表了講話。

“This is a really remarkable public health success story that I think doesn’t get featured with all the other kinds of success we’ve had in eliminating some diseases and so forth.But the story is not complete yet.There’s still a considerable amount of unintended fertility, especially in some parts of Asia and Africa.
“這真是一個(gè)關(guān)于公眾健康的成功案例，反響極大，但我并不認(rèn)為它所取得成就的性質(zhì)和根除疾病相同。因?yàn)檫@個(gè)事件并未結(jié)束。尤其在亞洲和非洲的某些地區(qū)仍存在非預(yù)期的生育情況?！?/div>

“What are the prospects now looking forward that we can address that level of unwanted fertility?Well, on a hopeful side we know that there are very high levels of unmet need for family planning.So if we were to satisfy that unmet need, various analyses show we would go a long way towards achieving the reduction in birth rates that are required to achieve global population stabilization.
“我們對(duì)可以解決的意外生育的期望是什么呢？樂(lè)觀地說(shuō)，我們知道計(jì)劃生育仍有著較高且未滿足的需求。所以如果我們想滿足這些需求，各種分析表明，為達(dá)到使全球人口穩(wěn)定的出生率，我們還有很長(zhǎng)的路要走。

“On the less hopeful side, we’ve been successively underinvesting in family planning internationally.As the number, actually, of women in need has grown, the investment has declined.”
“悲觀地說(shuō)，我們?cè)谟?jì)劃生育上面付出的努力還不夠。女性的需求在增長(zhǎng)時(shí)，這種努力成功的可能性就會(huì)下降?！?/div>
