Abstract
The availability of data on many aspects of family planning, as defined above, has increased considerably in recent years. This has been influenced by three developments:
-
a)
The emergence of fertility regulation as a concern of organised medicine and the involvement of the state in providing contraceptive services and regulating legal abortion.
-
b)
The development of social research into aspects of the family building process, including specific studies, many government sponsored, of family planning services, contraceptive usage and family size attitudes.
-
c)
The incorporation into the General Household Survey (GHS) of routine questions concerned with contraceptive usage and family size expectations.
