About the Author

Gavin W. Jones and Mehtab S. Karim Much has been written about the attitude of Islam to family planning and population control. In the past it has mainly taken as its starting-point the observation that Muslim countries and Muslim minorities in non-Muslim countries tend to have high fertility. It was only a small step from this to the argument that high Muslim fertility was immutable, arising inevitably from elements in Islamic belief and family and social structures. More recently, fertility in many Islamic populations has fallen sharply, thus giving rise to many questions: Under what circumstances do Muslim populations experience sharp fertility declines? Are there elements of Islamic belief that require a different approach to understanding relative fertility trends and reproductive behaviour in Islamic and in non-Islamic populations?
