Finally. in the international sphere it is apparent that unprecedentedly high rates of population growth in many developing countries are contributing substantially to severe economic. political. and social problems. Many of these countries are barely able to increase their economic production sufficiently to stay even with population growth. thereby frustrating sincere efforts by the Government of the United States and by other countries to assist in improving the standards of life for the bulk of these poor populations. Such imbalances give rise to increased political turmoil and instability around the developing world. and also represent a major factor in the rapid escalation of refugee and immigrant populations. many of whom seek to settle in the United States. The executive and legislative branches of Government are poorly organized to deal systematically with this set of problems. In both branches of Government. responsibility for population and closely related issues is widely dispersed among a large number of committees. departments. and agencies.
