ABSTRACT

Although Taiwan's family planning program succeeded in reducing the birth rate by 1/3 between 1963 and 1973,

several problems must be overcome before a further decline can be expected. The high fertility and rapid increase in

numbers of young women, large ideal family size, strong son preference, and short child spacing all impede efforts

at further reduction. Because of the importance of the male in fertility decision making, increased efforts are being

made to educate and motivate men. A program to promote family planning among new recruits was begun at 9

military training camps in 1966 and extended to reservists in 1971 and reserve officers in 1973. 1,232,087 members

of the armed forces had been given 2 hours of family planning education by July 1974. Family planning field workers

and village health educators trained village level instructors for small local meetings, mass media were extensively

used, family planning education programs were held for local leaders, and a telephone information service was set

up. Few KAP surveys have been conducted among men in Taiwan, and they have shown a higher level of knowledge

than practice and a high ideal number of children. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT7T 2572-06)
