Abstract
It is now widely recognised that there is a need to take the scope of the population policy in Bangladesh beyond the confines of achieving population stabilisation through reduction of fertility. Although in recent years the approach to reduce of fertility has changed from narrow family planning to a broad based reproductive health approach, it is being increasingly felt that Bangladesh’s population policy should encompass other equally important issues which have wide implications for the development process and the quality of life of people of Bangladesh. In this paper, some important issues and priorities have been discussed to incorporate in population policy especially highlighting the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) recommendation.
