Volun. Teac. VIII - Family Planning

       In this post I would like to inform a little about family planning around the world, a very important issue, mainly in the poorest areas of the world. In order to accelerate development and to assure a living standard with all the bare necessities guaranteed to poorest citizens, many countries concern a lot about its populational growth, the informations following are taken from wikipedia and some sites about this issue.
       In China, approximately 36% of the population is currently subject to one-child policy. This restriction was introduced in 1978 to alluviate social, economic and environmental problems. The policy is controversial, nonetheless a 2008 survey, reported that 76% of the population supports the policy. In 2008, the government said that will remain for at least another decade.
        In Philippines, despite catholic church opposition, the government provide contraceptive to poor couples. Birth control debate should be a economic and humanitarian issue not a religious one.
        India has had some success through sterilization programs, large scale education and awareness about family planning. Recently a major step to control birth rates was initiated that will not only provide education to newlyweds but also give cash incentives to them to maintain a family planning.
        Iran birth rate has plummeted since 2001, its success provides a model for others developing countries, mainly require couples to take classes on contraception before receiving a marriage license.
