    This memorandum discusses proposed measures to reduce US fertility rates in a universal or selective manner. Table 1 outlines examples of each type of measure. Universal measures would impact all individuals, such as restructuring the family through postponing or avoiding marriage, or encouraging increased homosexuality. Selective measures would impact individuals differently based on socioeconomic status, such as modifying tax policies, providing payments for sterilization or contraception, or restricting childbearing. The memorandum also notes measures building on existing motivation to prevent unwanted pregnancies, like improving access to abortion, sterilization, and contraception.
