Abstract
Introduction: The rapid population growth rate has encouraged the Family Planning Program which was developed forty years ago (1968), and has only been enjoyed in recent years. This support emerged after the campaign was carried out through the PKBI that had been formed. At the world level, the family planning movement has succeeded in reducing the number of children per family from 3.9 to 2 children, especially in developed countries.
