PubHealth.info® (a subsidiary of PakMed) presents scientific information mainly based on abstracts of articles published on a variety of public health issues/topics, particularly encompassing population planning, disease prevention, maternal and child health, and communicable and non-communicable diseases (like HIV AIDS, malaria, etc) that are affecting a significant portion of population in developing and developed countries. Here you can find abstracts of articles published on a variety of public health topics under category "Contraception (Birth Control) and Family Planning". Contraception (birth control) is a regimen of one or more actions, devices, or medications followed in order to deliberately prevent or reduce the likelihood of a woman becoming pregnant or giving birth. Therefore contraception is the utilization of various and sundry surgical procedures, devices, practices, agents, or drugs with the intention of preventing conception or impregnation (pregnancy). Methods and intentions typically termed birth control may be considered a pivotal ingredient to family planning. Birth control is a controversial political and ethical issue in many cultures and religions, and although it is generally less controversial than abortion specifically.

ABSTRACT

Data from 15 World Fertility Survey countries show that per capita gross national product (GNP) and family planning

program effort (FPE) affect not only country-specific average levels of children ever born (CEB), but also the direction

and magnitudes of within-country socioeconomic status differentials in CEB. Consider, for example, the within-

country effects of wife's childhood residence for the cohort ages 40-44 in 1974. In countries where FPE and per

capita GNP are low, women who grew up in urban areas had more children than women who grew up in rural areas.

This differential reverses, with women who grew up in urban areas having fewer children, in countries with higher

levels of per capita GNP, and in countries with moderate-to-high levels of FPE. Our findings are largely consistent

with hypotheses derived from the Entwisle-Hermalin-Mason theory of socioeconomic determinants of fertility behavior

in developing countries. (author's) (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT5T 2003-06)
