He points out that economists, who formerly related development solely in the physical elements of national growth, have since to widened the concept of investment to include manpower. Investment in manpower in the form of public health programmes not only adds to the quality and numbers of the labour force, but also tends to encourage innovative thinking by demonstratin possible. But what of the danger of public health programmes contributing to population growth? The author feels that: (I)continued high mortality is a morally unacceptable form of population control, and (2)reduced mortality among small children is a necessary prerequisite to the acceptance of birth control. At present, child malnutrition and overpopulation are the most pressing problems in developing countries. Both involve intensely personal decisions. The opportunity to make these decisions will depend on the availability of a advice and methods at the family and community levels. The author feels that the church has at its disposal a particularly suitable resource for. functioning at the local level - its manpower. He suggests that the church go beyond its usual health programmes (manned by profession) and recruit and train members of its congregation for work in the community.
