Abstract
"This article examines which public programmes and which socio-economic development indicators have had an impact on contraceptive practices and fertility in a selected group of villages in Comilla district of Bangladesh. It finds that equitable, even-handed development may be a good 'contraceptive', but is not a realistic alternative to family planning effort.... This research, undertaken in 1985, replicates a similar knowledge, attitudes and practice (KAP) type study undertaken in these same villages some 20 years earlier, in 1967/68....Thus, the two studies provide a unique look at demographic behavioural characteristics when these agricultural development programmes were in an early stage and then 20 years later." excerptKeywords: Asia; Bangladesh; Contraception; Contraceptive Usage; Demographic Effectiveness; Demographic Factors; Developing Countries; Development Planning; Economic Development; Economic Factors; Education--women; Family And Household; Family Characteristics; Family Planning; Family Planning Program Evaluation; Family Planning Programs; Family Size; Family Size, Desired; Fertility--changes; Kap Surveys; Organization And Administration; Population; Population Dynamics; Program Effectiveness; Program Evaluation; Programs; Reproductive Behavior; Research Methodology; Sampling Studies; Southern Asia; Studies; Surveys
