16. In many African and Latin American countries, the
rate of population growth appears to be constant or
even rising, but in Asia, there are signs that the
growth rate has peaked and is now declining. The
different experiences may reflect differences in
government policies: in 1980 a quarter of less
developed countries had no official family planning
programme. The success stories involve India, where,
in 1980, 23 per cent of married women used
contraceptives and the birth rate fell from 4.4 to 3.6
per cent per annum between 1960 and 1980. The
successful cases show what can be done, but private
incentives and attitudes still favour large families in
many poor societies; so, simply providing facilities for
family planning may not be enough.
It is implied in the passage that, as regards population growth, ______. A) most less developed countries have adopted
policies against family planning
B) family planning has not yet received adequate
attention in the industrialized countries
C) India has taken no serious measures to check it
D) the case of Africa and Latin America is unlike that
of Asia
E) Africa is the only continent to show a remarkable
decline in the birth rate
