Taiwan met its goal of decreasing its natural increase rate despite its young population, increasing numbers of women of childbearing ages, a strong preference for sons and a per capita income at the outset in 1963 of less than U.S.$200. Recognition of this achievement brought thousands of professionals, particularly from developing countries, to study the program firsthand: more than 3,000 during 1970\u201373 alone. This was matched by an avalanche of publications about the program that appeared around the world, written by practitioners, academics and others. This article tells the story of this success. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2190\/iq.27.2.b","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,3,26]],"date-time":"2008-03-26T00:10:40Z","timestamp":1206490240000},"page":"99-120","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Taiwan's Population and Family Planning Efforts: An Historical Perspective"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"27","author":[{"given":"G.","family":"Cernada","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Massachusetts, Amherst"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"T.
