    John A Ro, John A Ross et al.ARTICLEStudies in Family Planning1970

    An annual review of the achievements in family planning in South Korea and Taiwan is presented. In Korea 1969 closed with more contraceptive acceptors than in 1968 (623000 vs. 472000) but numbers of acceptors were still below program targets. As in the past the major handicap was a shortage of money to meet local costs rather than a lack of interested women. The population growth rate is difficult to measure accurately largely because of underreg…
