THE UNITED Nations has recommended an aggressive population control strategy to solve the problems of Ethiopia.
The Emergencies Unit for Ethiopia, a project of the UN Development Programme, has stated that "all appropriate means should be explored to stop the ongoing population explosion" in Ethiopia, including a "reward and punishment" system to restrict family size. Critics say that aggressive population control policies often mean that women are put under pressure to have abortions.
They can also lead on to coercive abortion schemes, such as that operated in China with the assistance of the UN Population Fund (UNFPA).
