The first large-scale incentive program in family planning began in 1956 in India and since then incentive programs have spread; today at least 9 countries pay family planning incentives. A review of the history of incentives reveals the following criteria of incentives by which incentives can be classified; adopter vs. diffuser individual vs. group positive vs. negative monetary vs. nonmonetary immediate vs. delayed graduated vs. nongraduated contraception vs. births-prevented incentives. Based on research and experience with incentive schemes some generalizations can be made: (1) adopter incentives and diffuser incentives increase the rate of adoption of an innovation; (2) adopter incentives lead to adoption by different individuals than would otherwise adopt; (3) adopter and diffuser incentives may increase the quantity of adoptions but the quality may be low leading to undesirable consequences. Further research is needed on the process of persuasion and innovation decision so that the right people can be approached. This could prevent the necessity for coercive measures to control population growth
