A population policy (105-2) is a series of measures taken by public authorities to influence the trend of population change, or principles offered as a basis for such measures. A distinction is made between populationist ¹ policies designed to increase the population, to accelerate its rate of growth or to check actual or incipient population decline or depopulation ², and restrictionist ³ or population control ³ policies for the purpose of checking population growth or reducing the rate of population increase. Among the former, pronatalist ⁴ policies, which attempt to increase the birth rate (332-1), are particularly important. In contrast to pronatalist policies, there are antinatalist ⁵ policies, which are designed to reduce the frequency of births. Population policy may also include a component of population redistribution ⁶ policy designed to influence the territorial distribution of population, as well as a component of migration policy ^7★. Health policy ^8★, which aims to reduce morbidity (420-1) and mortality (401-1), is an other component of population policy.
