Restrictionistとは 意味・読み方・使い方

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 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 policy ⁶ designed to influence the territorial distribution of population.
