ABSTRACT

There is a new generation of urban workers who do not have traditional attitudes toward having large families, and are

amenable to the idea of birth control. The industries at which these workers are employed also have a stake in

promoting family planning in that workers with large families are usually more prone to accidents and alcoholism.

Some industries have medical facilities at which workers and their families can be given family planning services.

Even those without clinical facilities can employ a lady medical officer to visit women in their homes to promote

family planning. Additional incentives and disincentives could be provided to encourage birth control. For example,

new workers could be recruited, in part, on the basis of their family size, with those having fewer children being given

preference; priority in workers accomodations could be given to those with 3 or fewer children; contraceptives could

be provided free of charge; free scholarships, free uniforms, and attractive increments could be made available to

those practicing birth control. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT7T 3532-06)
