FAMILY PLANNING


Meaning of FAMILY PLANNING in English

Use of measures designed to regulate the number and spacing of children within a family, largely to curb population growth and ensure each family's access to limited resources.

The first attempts to offer family planning services began with private groups and often aroused strong opposition. Activists such as United Nations and the World Health Organization offer technical assistance. See also {{link=birth control">birth control .
