Family
planning is the spacing or preventing the birth of children. Access to family
planning services
is a significant factor in limiting population growth and improving women’s
health. Propaganda, free availability of contraceptives and tax disincentives
for large families are some of the measures which can help population control.
Thomas
Malthus in his theory (1793) stated that the number of people would increase
faster than the food supply. Any further increase would result in a population
crash caused by famine, disease and war. The preventive checks are better than
the physical checks. For the sustainability of our resources, the world will
have to control the rapid population increase.
