Throughout the 19th and 20th century a collection of non-government organizations, international government organizations, and government civilian organizations were created and formed into what as known as the “population establishment”. This collection of organizations shared a central goal of sharing and promoting ideas and policies that centered around eugenics and/or population reduction. The purpose of this research is to examine the origins of the population establishment and to examine the various incentives of the individuals associated with its creation and development. I will consider the individuals in these agencies, politicians, and academics who worked together in forwarding these interests and examine their role in creating and implementing population plans and policies.
