Read the passage below and answer the
questions that follow, based on your
understanding of the passage :
The definitions of Population Policy are
numerous and varied. To cite some
examples :
• A deliberate effort by a national
Government to influence the three
demographic variables : fertility,
mortality and migration.
• A set of coordinated laws aimed at
reaching some demographic goals.
• Direct and indirect measures,
formulated by the whole range of
social institutions, including
Government, which whether intended
or not, may influence the size,
distribution or composition of human
population.
In defining “population policy”, it is
useful to distinguish between
“explicit” and “implicit” policies. An
“explicit” policy is a statement or a
document by a national Government
announcing its intention or plan to
affect the country’s population
growth and perhaps its distribution
and/or composition as well. Explicit
population policies have been issued
in a variety of forms, including
legislation; documents by
Governmental ministries and
commissions, sections of
development plans, policy
declaration of a ruling party,
statements by the nation’s President
or other high level officials.

In some cases, policies set specific
demographic targets, such as reacting
a certain level of fertility or mortality
by a specific year.
In contrast “implicit” policies are
those laws, regulations and other
directives which, although not
necessarily issued for the purpose of
affecting population growth,
distribution or composition, have the
affect of doing so. By aggregating
the impact of those policies that
influence population growth,
distribution and composition directly
and indirectly, one could
theoretically arrive at a conclusion
about a country’s implicit population
policy. In this way, one examines
what a country “does” not merely
what it “says”.
It is often very difficult to uncover a
country’s implicit policy. First, with
few exceptions, policies are not
generally coordinated to reach a
common population goal. Second,
most social and economic
development policies (e.g. education,
health, income, housing) are thought
to influence fertility indirectly,
measurement of all these policies for
their effect on population dynamics
can be very complex and
cumbersome. Third, the net impact of
policies often is not known for many
years – if it is known at all.
46. Which one of the following does not
form part of the Explicit Population
Policy ?
(A) Legislation
(B) Development Plans
(C) Declaration by Political Parties
(D) Statement by Nation’s
President.
47. Which one of the following is not a
part of the implicit population
policies ?
(A) Targets
(B) Education
(C) Health
(D) Income
48. In the passage, population policies
are aimed at influencing
I. Fertility, mortality and
migration
II. Size and distribution of
population
III. Composition of Population
Which one of the following is correct ?
(A) I and II
(B) I and III
(C) II and III
(D) I, II and III
49. Which one of the following is
synonymous in the passage ?
(A) Explicit and Target
(B) Explicit and Population Growth
(C) Implicit and Indirect measures
(D) Implicit and declaration by
Nation’s President
50. The tone of the passage can be
described as
(A) Analytical and optimistic
(B) Biased and unprofessional
(C) Critical and pessimistic
(D) Tentative and inconclusive
