Social Mobility and Family Planning Practices in Rural Bangladesh - A Case Study

Abstract

The necessity of controlling the growth of population in Bangladesh was seriously recognized as early as 1965 when a large-scale national family planning program was initiated in erstwhile Pakistan A. The Government of Bangladesh also gave top priority to the population control program as an integral part of the development process by adopting a comprehensive population policy B. and took various steps for the efficient implementation of family planning services. Family planning was considered to be a remedy for achieving the national objective of zero population growth.
