Like other developing countries with a large official family planning program Bangladesh was signatory to the ICPD Program of Action which required an explicit policy shift from an exclusive focus on demographic concerns to a policy that holds the well-being of individual men and women at the center of sustainable development.

While his ideas are of great relevance for all developing countries, this is more so for India and Bangladesh—the two countries that provide the socio-economic settings for much of his empirical works.
