Family Planning

Family planning aims to help couples determine the number and spacing of children through voluntary and moral management of human reproduction. Its goals include increasing freedom of choice, reducing unsafe abortions, improving maternal and child health by avoiding too many closely spaced pregnancies, alleviating poverty, and lowering population growth rates. Benefits of family planning include enhanced family welfare, happier parents, and healthier children from smaller families. Principles of effective family planning programs emphasize voluntarism, privacy, and encouraging male participation while avoiding coercion.
