Abstract: This article summarizes general recommendations and conclusions that were made during the National Symposium on Labor and Population Policies of India, in New Delhi from April 15-18 1974. The outlook of family planning as a solution to India's poverty is wrong; mainly responsible are the bankrupt policies of the government. A major defect of the program so far is its one-sided emphasis on the contraceptive aspect. Another major deficiency is that the affluent of India want to foist family planning on the poor and toiling population only. A major problem is also associated with incentives and disincentives. If the workers cannot be made conscious enough to restrict family size through proper education and propaganda, it is foolish to offer them baits taking advantage of their poverty. It cannot be expected that the trade unions accord family planning popularization as their primary plan of work.
