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 effect 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, and 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.





Answer: (C)











47. Which one of the following is not a part of the implicit population policies?





(A) Targets





(B) Education





(C) Health





(D) Income





Answer: (A)











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





Answer: (D)











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





Answer: (C)











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





Answer: (A)
