PRI is a 501(c)(3) organization and claims contacts to pro-life groups in over 30 countries.[4] Results are being released in an own online periodical, PRI Review.[5][6] BackgroundThe Population Research Institute was founded in 1989 by Paul Marx (1920–2010), a family sociologist, Catholic priest and Benedictine monk who had established Human Life International as well.[7] PRI became an independent institute in 1996.[8] The same year, the think tank got headed by Steven W. Mosher,[9][10] an anthropologist and author who studied and discovered excesses in China during the beginning of the one-child policy in the late 1970s and the early 1980s.[11] PRI opposes such practices and asserts a causal link between the one-child policy on the one hand and China's imbalanced sex-ratio as well as its aging population on the other hand.[12] Family Care CenterAs of 2015 PRI operates a facility called Family Care Center, a family welfare and crisis pregnancy center located in Saint Lucia,[13] the home country of its spiritual director, Father Linus Clovis.[14] Exposing and defunding population control programsAccording to the Los Angeles Times, PRI successfully lobbied the George W. Bush administration to withhold US$34 to $40 million per year for seven years from the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), the largest international donor to family planning programs.[15] "We located the family planning offices, and in that family planning office, we located the UNFPA office, and we confirmed from family planning officials there that there is no distinction between what the UNFPA does and what the Chinese Family Planning Office does," said Scott Weinberg, a spokesman for the institute, in the fall of 2001.[16] Moreover, it monitored UNFPA's involvement in controversial sterilization campaigns during the Peruvian Fujimori era,[17][18] and it also investigated forceful actions against Montagnard tribal women in Vietnam aimed at preventing reproduction.[19] FundraisingPRI obtains the vast majority of its funding from charitable contributions, gifts, and grants, with a total revenue of 1.31 million dollars in financial year 2016. Of this, 73.4% was spent on program expenses, 3.9% on administration, and 22.6% on fundraising.[20] The institute has received funding from The Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation, Inc. for conferences on human rights in China.[21] CriticismPRI's stance on overpopulation and the arguments for "Overpopulation is a Myth" have been described as deceptive.[22][23][24] The Ten Million Club Foundation [25] further adds to criticism,[26] accusing PRI of having a religious hidden agenda (against family planning and contraception) that motivates its (allegedly) deceiving claims, stating that those are not backed up by any original research («[PRI hasn't] as yet published a single peer review paper in any scientific journal»). Charity Navigator classifies charities with respect to "Accountability & Transparency" and "Financial Performance". It awarded one (out of four) stars to PRI with respect to "Accountability & Transparency" and one (out of four) stars with respect to the "Financial".[27] A rather benevolent review issued by CatholicCulture.org misses clarification from PRI in cases where the institute's website provides a research link to secular and non-Catholic contents.[28] References1. ^1 {{cite web| url = http://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm/bay/search.summary/orgid/10080.htm| title = Population Research Institute| accessdate = 2018-02-14| year = 2016| publisher = Charity Navigator}} 2. ^CatholicCulture.org: Website Review: Population Research Institute (2014-02-19).
