Therefore, to better employ the population and family planning interestspolicy system and economic means to achieve coordinated solution of populationproblem and long-term and balanced development of population, it is necessary tobuild up the system and at the same time formulate a specific scheme to operate it sothat the institutional arrangement can meet with requirement of the economic andsocial growth and facilitate the family planning reform and development.
