The Arab world's most populous nation is reviving a family planning programme to encourage parents to consider having fewer children.

Egypt's population growth rate is two and a half times that of China, and about the same as India.

The government is aiming to bring down the average family size from 3 children to 2 by 2017. Amr El-Kahky has more.
