Decentralization and Reproductive Health

Date of Publication: September 07, 1999
The purpose of this chapter is to consider both the process and the goals of the changes that are required by the implementation of reproductive health services and to assess the extent to
which they are compatible or in conflict with those of decentralization.

Delivering Reproductive Health Services in Health Reform Settings: Challenges and Opportunities
[37 kb / PDF]
Date of Publication: September 13, 1999
This note addresses two important issues that affect these efforts: the implementation of
health reforms and of the reproductive health approach to services called for by the 1994
International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) in Cairo. It will outline key
features of health reform and reproductive health, identify points of intersection and possible conflict between them, and discuss how program managers in both areas might work more
effectively to achieve their common goals.
Delivering Reproductive Health Services in Health Reform Settings: Challenges and Opportunities - Revised 10/00
Date of Publication: October 01, 2000
Many poor countries are engaged in efforts to increase the effectiveness and sustainability of their health systems and to improve the poor reproductive health of their people. They face many constraints, including political and economic instability and the demands created by their rapidly growing populations.
This note addresses two important issues that affect these efforts: health reforms and implementation of the reproductive health approach to services called for by the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) in Cairo. It outlines key features of health reform and the reproductive health approach, identifies points of intersection and possible conflict between them, and discusses how program managers in both areas might work more effectively to achieve their common goals.

Developing countries are undergoing a demographic transition from high rates of
mortality and fertility to low. This transition has important implications for the age
structure of populations. While different countries are in different stages of this
transition, those that have completed it earlier demonstrate a strong record of
economic growth. This is no coincidence. We spell out the linkages that exist
between the demographic transition and economic outcomes, and argue that the
transition creates conditions that make more rapid economic growth possible. In
short, demography matters for growth. Whether the potential for rapid growth is
realized depends crucially on the conduct of policy, which must be designed to
accomplish three things. First, it must aim to accelerate and complete the transition.
This requires renewed attention to population policies that aim to reduce fertility.
Second, it must aim to transform the growth potential created by the transition into
actual growth. This entails policies that facilitate high employment, savings, and
human capital accumulation. Lastly, policies should anticipate consequences of the
transition that lie further off into the future. This includes being able to provide
adequate health care and pension income for larger and longer-lived old generations
of retirees.

Dependency Burdens in the Developing World

Date of Publication: December 30, 1998
The paper was prepared for Symposium on Population Change and Economic Development, November 1998.
The demographic transitions, which in most developing countries are far from complete, are accompanied by fairly predictable declines, first in mortality and, after a delay, also in fertility. These well established trends have less well known consequences for the distribution of the population by age and for the dependency burden which is defined as the ratio of dependent young and old to the population of working age. The age dependency ratio varies widely over the course of the transition but this pattern is quite predictable.
