Family Planning Methods And Methods Of The Rapid Population Growth Worldwide

The government is extremely powerful in creating and enforcing limitations of contraceptive choices. An article was published in 1984 in a weekly Indonesian newspaper reporting that villagers were being penalized for using traditional methods of

Scientists and economists equally agree that the answer to our population problem is education; specifically the education and empowerment in women. “The relationship between population and development with education is undeniable.” Education among women affects fertility rates in many ways, it

Kristof ‘s most important solution to the overpopulation pandemic is worldwide access to contraceptives. He notes that some countries still have lackluster access to contraceptives, “In rural Africa, I’ve come across women who have never heard of birth control.” (Kristof A31) With this statement, he lets us know that he has personally seen the problems of undersized population control regulation and that he is an authority on the issue. “What’s needed isn’t just birth control pills or IUDs. It’s also girl’s education and women’s rights. (Kristof A31) ” Kristof’s logic in this is that educated women have fewer children. He gives no evidence for this however, it is not difficult to come to the conclusion that if more women would know about the risks

Birth control commonly referred to, as fertility control and contraception are devices that are used as a precautionary measure against pregnancy. Substantial evidence proves that there are varieties of birth control methods that have been in existence since the ancient times. In the 20th century, birth control methods have been improvised and advanced to facilitate safety and effectiveness. The purpose of this term paper is to provide three world arguments for birth control and two against the use of contraceptives.

For a few years, America has had quite a low fertility rate, but it is not something that we should be afraid of. “America’s fertility rate may be holding up, but America’s middle-class women are producing at rates far below the Golden Number” (Last, 6). For me, there is no “Golden

“When we have peace, then we have a chance to save the planet. But if we are not united in peace, if we do not practice mindful consumption, we cannot save our planet.”(Thich Nhat Hanh) We as the human race have entered a new age of the Earth: the Anthropocene, a term that became popular in the early 2000s. It means “ Man New”, because of the new world we have created and the amount of extinctions, pollution and alterations in the world’s functions that has come from our expansion. Due to the large amount of waste a small portion of the world produces, it affects the whole world in terrifying ways. People that argue that overpopulation is the largest issue have to understand that it is not the majority of the world that creates so much waste

Both contraception and reproduction influenced population in terms of sex, race and social class. Population control and the term family planning while the same in terms of limiting reproductivity in families are also completely worlds apart. Population control was brought about by eugenicists who felt the need to control what they termed as the “unfit” while family planning was more of a chosen path to limit reproductivity within one 's family.

1. Obviously, like any other thing in the world, the contraceptive methods are mostly affected by the financial ability of people. The social determinants of health discussed in chapter one also points out to the importance of financial ability. For example, socioeconomic status, educational attainment, literacy, employment status, working conditions, housing, transportation, social support networks, and access to health care services that are all listed as significant social factors of health are directly affected by the income of people. Therefore, it is not surprising to see that access to contraception in developed countries such as northern America and European countries involves more variety and more choices compared to less developed

Contraception is an entity that many people take for granted. In the past, women did not have any access to contraceptives because they did not exist at the time. As time passed, the thought of contraceptives began to bloom, but the idea was thought to be “obscene.” This was in a time where women had very few rights, and one of the rights they were forbidden to have was the right to have access to contraceptives and be active in the planning of their families and fertility. Whether in a relationship or not, women who were sexually active faced the risk of becoming pregnant on several occasions. It was not uncommon to see families consisting of 6, 7, 8, and even higher numbers of children. Women would desire to have children, but not always

Girls are valued property in the sub-Saharan Africa areas and fathers will often sell their daughters into cruel, abusive marriages. As a result, the girls will then be driven to drop out of school and assume their “wife duties”. The lack of education offered to them will significantly impact their knowledge of the countless complications that may come with childbirth. Considering this, maternal death is an imposing risk for these young girls, and most of the time, they will not have access to basic health care to ensure a healthy

India was the first country to enact a population policy, which was initiated in 1952, and is now commonly known as the “First Five Year Plan” (July 31, 2012). This policy was enacted as a response to decreasing mortality rates and a consequent population boom. The 1950’s method was commonly known as the “clinical approach” (July 31, 2012). Family planning facilities were constructed in hopes that the population would use them, nevertheless this plan eventually failed, as parents had no incentives to attend these facilities (July 31, 2012). By the 1960’s, the government of India knew that it had to modify its policies and introduced its third Five Year Plan focusing on prolonging the current policies and setting target goals (July 31,

Childbirth is a magical event. It brings into our world, an ingenuous infant whose unassuming manner hides the capabilities of his future self. The child may grow up to lead masses, conquer them, make them idolize him or he may fade into oblivion with his death marking the only significant event in his life after a humble birth. To avoid the last possibility, many of us try to elbow our way out of the growing scrum of our contemporaries in an attempt to secure a position of recognition. But our competition is not just with those of our kind. The world of fictional figures is also experiencing a population explosion. Such brainchildren, brought into our world by exceptionally creative minds gravid with plots, themes and premises, command adulation

Fertility also remains high in Mali, with each women giving birth to an average of 6.1 times in her lifetime. Among poor rural women, this number increases to 7.2 births, while for wealthy, urban woman it is 2.8 births. Contraceptives uses are low. Only 3% of low income rural women in Mail utilize contraceptives as compared to the 23% of use among high income urban women. Lack of education about family planning and inadequate access to health centers, prenatal care poses challenges for maternal health.

Africa has a total fertility rate (TFR) of 5.2 children per woman, a problem that is

The mainstreaming of the family planning agenda in many countries over the decades has been accompanied by increased researcher interest in the subject, with a lot of research attention being focused on the link between family planning and poverty. Empirical research studies using standard economic models have demonstrated that increased access to family planning services is associated with lower rates of poverty. This effect has been posited as occurring through a number of channels. The first channel is the family size channel. As per this channel, increased access to family planning reduces the number of children per family, which results into parents devoting more time and resources per child, and occasioning higher per-child investment that should lead to material decline in household poverty (Bailey, Malkova and McLaren, 2013). The second channel is the household income channel. Here, increased access to family planning services helps to free up more resources, which can then be invested in the improvement of the human capital of the parents. For instance, delaying parenthood can enable the soon to be parents to pursue further education, gain more work experience, or enroll for further job training, and thus raise their lifetime earnings levels (Bailey, Malkova and Norling, 2014). For instance, Bailey, Hershbein, and Miller (2012) demonstrated that women who had access to the pill were able to delay motherhood and to invest in their careers, resulting in higher wage
