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

The results of a 1981 sample survey on family planning in Poland show that the average birth ratio for couples

married in 1975 is 2.1 (2.0 in the cities and 2.5 in rural areas). With a much lower mortality rate, this minimal

reproduction ratio still provides the fairly high natural population growth which is characteristic of all industrialized

nations. This birth ratio is maintained by almost universal use of various birth control methods after 6-7 years of

marriage, i.e., an average family with 2 children is planned and created by means of contraceptives and abortions.

The family planning situation in Poland is discussed for women who: 1) plan to have more children, 2) might change

their decision not to have more children, and 3) made a final decision not to have more children. The reasons for

these decisions are thoroughly analyzed. Particular attention is paid to the extent to which couples are able to reach

their reproductive objectives. The analysis indicates that many couples would have had more children if the

husband received a higher salary, housing conditions were better, and the mother could quit her job for at least some

period of time. Birth control is used because most couples are satisfied with having 2 children and consider their

reproductive objectives fulfilled. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT5T 2051-06)
