Our members and subscribers have been requesting for several months that we dedicate an issue of Population Connection magazine to the role of religion in people’s family planning and childbearing decisions. This edition features an article by Kirsten Stade that explores the nuanced relationship religious followers have (at the population level) with their respective religions’ texts and leaders when it comes to official pronouncements on birth control and family formation.

These tend to be populations where despite strong religious affiliation, there is also a high degree of gender equality as well as education and career opportunity for women.”
