One of the difficulties in carrying out a worldwide birth control program lies in the fact that official attitudes to population growth vary from country to country depending on the level of industrial development and the availability of food and raw materials. 在全球范圍內(nèi)實施人口控制計劃的困難之一是由于工業(yè)發(fā)展水平及食物和資源的供應(yīng)力有所差異，這就決定了各國政府對人口控制的態(tài)度互不相同。 Section Seven 50.
