Abstract	This annual report describes, through narrative and statistical tables, the progress made in 1976 by the World Fertility Survey (WFS), an international population research program. The function of the WFS is to assist a large number of interested countries, particularly the developing countries, in carrying out nationally representative, internationally comparable, and scientifically designed and conducted surveys of human fertility behavior. An introduction provides information on the background, history, and major goals of the survey. The report distinguishes between developed and developing countries in its country by country breakdown of progress and participation in the WFS. A section on program developments describes the status of the instruments and methodology used by the survey, including its questionnaires, modules, documentation, special field studies, data processing, and various methods of information dissemination. Proceedings of committees and meetings associated with the WFS are summarized, and lectures given on the topic of the survey are listed. The four appendices contain listings of the following: international experts consulted by the WFS, the year's visitors to the WFS Professional Centre in London, the publications of the WFS, and the libraries in the WFS depositary system.
