Zusammenfassung:	The volume contains the written versions of the 1994 annual conference of the Development Countries Committee of the Association for Social Policy. It deals with the persistent population dynamics in developing countries and points of approach for population policy measures, particularly in the areas of social and educational policy. Although the global potential for increased food production is far from being fully utilized, more and more countries are encountering Malthusian limits without being able to generate the foreign exchange needed for rising agricultural imports. This creates a need for action not only in development cooperation but also in domestic measures for poverty alleviation. The widespread view that the high number of children in developing countries is planned by parents and thus cannot be mitigated through easier access to contraception is only partially supported by empirical studies. Family policy remains a meaningful approach to reducing birth rates in many regions of the world. Nevertheless, population policy must primarily address the factors that trigger the desire for high birth rates. Secured nutrition, social security--also in old age--and educational opportunities have a lasting impact on demographic development. Therefore, the conference specifically addressed questions such as which pension system--capital coverage or pay-as-you-go--is preferable for developing countries, whether development aid can contribute to the establishment of social security systems, and what malfunctions have occurred in individual countries. The education sector was also examined. The thesis often expressed in development policy literature, which suggests that the productive contribution of investments in higher education in poor countries is low, is evaluated by the presented empirical data...
