A 20-year action plan for cutting the rate of world population growth is expected to win wide approval today in Cairo. Delegates at the UN-sponsored conference on population completed final talks on the plan Monday. The document is non-binding, but it will serve as a guideline for countries and donor states that fund health care and family planning programmes. The world population of 5.7 billion currently is growing at more than 90 million a year.
