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

Experience has shown that after family planning programs have reached the high-priority women, they stop expanding

and need educational programs to support them. People who have had more schooling have fewer children. It is

not known, however, what kind of education is most effective. After World War 2 the number of children from 5-19

years old grew 20% faster than the entire population as a whole. Student enrollment in secondary schools increased

100% greater than the general population growth. In developing countries boys are sent to school before girls.

There are 50% more boys in primary schools; 100% more boys in secondary schools. By 1980 it is estimated there

will be 230,000,000 children not in school and 820 million illiterate adults. The developing countries with the

greatest need have the most pupils per teacher. Where facilities are inadequate, the drop-out rate is high, as are the

pressures to go to work. New and alternative forms of education are needed along with planning that considers

actual facts and makes maximum use of available inputs. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT8T 559-06)
