Abstract

Despite a vigorous national family planning program and such innovations as the Continuous Motivation System, there has been little change in contraceptive use in Pakistan in recent years. Data from the 1968-69 National Impact Survey and the 1975 World Fertility Survey for Pakistan show that, while use rates increased by a small amount in urban areas, the rates in rural areas seem to have declined. Even in urban areas contraceptive use is low in comparison with other developing countries that began family planning programs around the same time. Although this is probably due to differences in economic development, further investigation of program structure and inputs is recommended.
