Reviews the interdisciplinary literature examining ideological influences that have helped shape population control policy in recent decades. A powerful critique of what has become a top-down, ethnocentric approach toward a narrowly focused policy has emerged from scholars in both the Third World & more developed regions. Concerns with issues such as outside intervention in national sovereignty, ethical aspects associated with the implementation of fertility control programs, exclusion of Third World scholars from research programs in their own countries, & unwillingness of programs to consider complex social & cultural dimensions of high fertility, are among those addressed by this literature. Also examined is the role of professional demographers, as part of the population establishment network in the US, in providing respectable justification for questionable policy intervention. 58 References.

Care research in coaching has repeatedly prioritised the voice of the carer rather than those of the cared-for. This article addresses this shortfall and examines notions of care through the eyes of female footballers. These voices are pertinent because football (soccer) in the United Kingdom (UK) has been labelled micro political, cut-throat, competitive, and at times, uncaring. Further, women's voices are often marginalised in sport and research. Noddings' theory of care was selected to interpret semi-structured interviews of eight athletes' experiences of care in women's football. Findings suggest that athletes were exposed to superficial acts of care impede their learning and performance. There were also safeguarding concerns regarding the touching of athletes. Interview extracts did, however, describe the positive orchestration of supporting networks to reinforce a 'climate of care'. Recommendations are provided for coaches on how to develop caring coaching.
