Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Richard Ottaway (Conservative). It was answered by Hilary Benn (Labour) on Wednesday, 28 February 2007 on behalf of the Department for International Development.
Millennium Development Goals
- Question
- What assessment he has made of the impact of population growth on the achievement of the millennium development goals.
- Answer
-
Rapid population growth will affect the chances of achieving the millennium development goals in a number of countries, making it more difficult to provide the basic services that most people need. High fertility rates also have a negative impact on maternal and child health and on gender equality. About 200 million women who want to control their own fertility still do not have access to modern contraception.
