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).

ABSTRACT

The introduction of any form of incentives or disincentives to discourage large families and to encourage small

families should be considered as part of an integrated national policy. The circumstances of the country must be

considered. All organized sectors of the community can help in providing family planning information, services, and

incentives; but the costs should be a legitimate charge of the State. A revision of the tax laws so that the costs

incurred are reimbursed is recommended. Since most developing countries are rural, a dispersed service and

incentive system are needed. Social security bonds, educational bonds, and a no-birth bonus might be devised. If

the informational input and service arrangements are adequate, disincentives can be very effective. An explicit active

antinatalist policy is necessary when disincentives are to be employed. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT7T
