Lots of opinion in the piece,but a very important bit of news for future of gold - population growth reduction or not: India's New Population Policy Raises Concerns By Suryamurthy Ramachandran CNS Correspondent 16 February, 2000 New Delhi (CNSNews.com) - A new Indian policy to check the population boom by offering incentives for couples with two children violated an international convention, analysts here said on Wednesday. The Cairo Declaration on population control repudiated all "incentives" to control population growth saying governments should focus instead on educating people on links between smaller families and higher standards of living, G.K. Sharma of the Family Planning Institute of India told CNSNews.com. The Cairo document was the result of an International Conference on Population and Development attended by lawmakers from around the world in 1984. Participating parliamentarians pledged "to translate our personal commitment into political action, as set forth in this Declaration, both in our national legislatures and elsewhere, as appropriate, and to encourage others to join us in meeting this urgent challenge."(cont) conservativenews.org\Global\archive\GLO20000216d.html
