Why are birth rates comparatively lower?

Available opportunities for higher education

Women have more opportunities for employment

comparatively low poverty rate

developed healthcare systems

99% sexually active women (ages 15-44) "have used at least one contraceptive method at some point in their lifetime" (Daniels & Mosher, 2013).

what is the need for continued family planning programs (Dryfoos, 1976)?

prevention of STDs

equal access of contraception to different socioeconomic classes

People with medical insurance have higher rates of using contraception (Kavanaugh et al., 2020)

Furthering the general public's awareness for their contraceptive options

Developing Countries

Fertility rate

The average birth rates for many developing countries are "considerably higher (at about 4.0 babies per woman)" (Casey & Galor, 2017).

why are the birth rates so much higher (Akmam, 2002)?

Less opportunity for higher education

unaware of their options for birth control

Few women are offered opportunities for employment

high poverty rates

unable to purchase birth control

underdeveloped healthcare systems

do not offer birth control

why are high birth rates concerning?

rapid population growth (Casey & Galor)- not a comprehensive list of the implications

will increase the already high poverty rates

increases fetal and maternal mortality

increases prevalence of communicable diseases

increases water, air, and general pollution

Objectives of family planning programs

Organizations in developed countries gather funding and resources to bring to developing countries (Cocks, 2018)

Increase immediate access to contraception in communities that do not have access

disperse free contraception

Organizations that advocate for policy changes in regards to higher education opportunities

Institute policies that give women more opportunities to be educated (Akman, 2002)

Increase their knowledge of contraceptive choices

A study in India concluded that " "a 10 per cent
increase in the female literacy rate seems to be associated with a 0.5 decline in total fertility rate" (Akmam, 2002).

Objectives of family planning programs

increase equality of contraception access regardless of SES

Increase awareness of options available

Prevent STDs
