A method for calculating rates of induced abortion
Accurate measurement of induced abortion is necessary for understanding the fertility dynamics of a population and for making projections about the future. Changes in abortion rates can amplify or dampen the impact of changes in contraception. This paper presents a methodology for calculating marital induced abortion rates from observed marital fertility and contraceptive prevalence and for modeling the impact of substituting contraception for ab…
A Cost-Benefit Analysis of the Mexican Social Security Administration's Family Planning Program
A cost-benefit analysis of the family planning program of the Mexican Social Security System (IMSS) was undertaken to test the hypothesis that IMSS's family planning services yield a net savings to IMSS by reducing the load on its maternal and infant care service. The cost data are believed to be of exceptionally high quality because they were empirically ascertained by a retrospective and prospective survey of unit time and personnel costs per s…

Sterilization and the Birth Rate
Sterilization remains irreversible for all practical purposes, but as its procedures become more feasible in developing countries, the question of its potential contribution to fertility decline vis-à-vis other contraceptive methods has increasing significance for family planning program administrators. This question is examined by means of a model that calculates births averted in defined time durations from the acceptance of various contracepti…

India's New Birth Rate Target
The Desai government in India has reduced the birth rate target for the national family planning program so that a birth rate of 30/1000 necessitating a fall from the current 37/1000 will be attained by 1983. This is a downward revision from the unrealistic Ghandi goals. In setting demographic goals 3 factors influence the required acceptor recruitment: 1) the time available in which to meet the target; 2) the contraceptive methods chosen by acce…
Status of National Family Planning Programmes of Developing Countries in relation to demographic targets
Having arisen within the context of social and economic development plans, demographic targets associated with family planning programmes in developing countries stipulate levels deemed desirable or necessary to implement economic goals. Since an optimum fertility path for economic development is open to conjecture, targets tend to be vague or arbitrary, and generally imply a fertility decline that goes beyond family limitation based on health co…
