The Latest from NPG on Population Dynamics and Policy Effectiveness

In 2024 there were 285 measles cases reported in the U.S., nearly a five-fold increase from the 59 cases in 2023, according to recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

NPG believes a national policy designed to slow, halt, and eventually reverse U.S. population growth is critically needed. (See the Position Papers and the FORUM series in the Publications List on our website, www.NPG.org.) In this paper, we offer a series of specific proposals for accomplishing that goal. We recognize the political resistance in the way of such policies, but we still think it is useful to set forth our recommendations in one compact document for those who may come to share our concerns.

The governments of 55 countries worldwide have policies in place aimed at encouraging women and couples in their societies to give birth to more babies. These administrations fear collapsing birth rates and the population declines that this trend is either already causing or will soon cause.
