In its 2nd year after achieving political independence, Papua New Guinea declared a general population policy in October 1976, and inaugurated a population research program to guide policy formulation. Population affairs of the country, which has a population of 2.75 million, have been vested with the Ministry of Environment and Conservation. The research program will be implemented in cooperation primarily with the Institute of Applied Social and Economic Research (IASER) and the University of Papua New Guinea, as well as the Central Planning Office, Department of Public Health, Bureau of Statistics, and Office of Information, among other agencies. The priorities for research will initially fall under 5 main concerns: 1) fertility and population growth, and the causes of local differentials; 2) socioeconomic influences on growth trends; 3) interrelation between population and land resources; 4) internal migration; and 5) individual attitudes regarding family planning practice. The research program is designed to become an integral part of national development planning. However, the Government has declared that both policy and research programs must concur with the needs and desires of the people, to pave the way for successful implementation of development plans.

Population news from Mongolia, ESCAP'S northernmost Asian member, is not often available, so we are reproducing the following excerpt from a published article by David Finkelstein, a lawyer and Asian affairs specialist with the Ford Foundation. "This land-locked central Asian nation (formerly known as OUter Mongolia), which shares borders with the U.S.S.R. and China, stretches 1500 miles from east to west and 800 miles from north to south. Yet it has less than 1,500,000 people, for an average density of only 2 persons/sq mile. In an effort to increase population and overcome the consequent shortage of manpower, government policy encourages large families. Paradoxically, although the current annual increase is slightly over 3%, the very process of modernization which requires this development of human resources has produced in Ulan Bator (the capital), with a population of about 350,000 (or almost a quarter of the country's entire population), a growing number of educated people who want to keep their families small and manage to do so despite the apparent prohibition against any form of contraception."
